Grado enter iPod market with iGrado street phones
Categories: News, GradoPosted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 by Ian S
Grado have broken from their tradition of high-end audiophile headphones by aiming their latest headphones, the unfortunately (but somewhat predictably) named iGrado, squarely at the iPod market.
Grado are describing these ‘phones as “the high-end sound in the low-end market” and by using the same driver as the respected SR60 they should offer excellent sound quality for the price.
As usual, Grado have come up with an unique design that some will undoubtedly hate although they should appeal to fans of retro gear.
The iGrado will be released in America at the beginning of September priced at $49.

I’m kinda dissappointed. I thought they would be along the same lines as the sennheiser PX200’s but they are a neckband design. I’ve yet to wear a comfortable pair of neckband headphones. No doubt a great way to enter into a great headphone mark, but at what price?

I think id be happier with the iGrado if they had a standard head band design.. I just haven’t worn any behind neck designs that were comfortable. Also another complaint i have is the cord length. I realize these were made for use with mobile media.. but if you plan on using them with your computer or anything you may need a cable extension.
