The latest addition to the Grado line-up, the iGrado is a portable headphone with behind-the-neck band for working out or simply for use on the go. An alternative to stock buds and more delicate and/or awkward high end headphones, the iGrado targets the latest iPod generation of music lovers. The only Grado not manufactured in the Brooklyn based Grado factory, the iGrado features a similar yet slightly darker sound when compared to the SR60 -- which contains the driver on which the iGrado is based on, and the rest of the Prestige Series. Available in black and white for $49.
MSRP $49.00
