iGrado are open type portable on-ear headphones.
iGrado are indispensable in two situations: for athletes due to a strong fit and for those who wear a headgear and can not use classic headphones with a bow over their heads. The letter “i” in the name has nothing to do with Apple, but means the second generation “Improved” - improved.
iGrado comes in blister packs and only headphones are standard. For those who plan to connect headphones to stationary equipment, it is worthwhile to separately buy an adapter from a 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm plug.
The iGrado case is made of light and dark brown plastic. The headband is located on the back of the head. The earbuds in theory should lie on the ears, but in practice, the pressure on the headphones is sufficient so that the headphones are fixed only due to the ear cushions. Visually, it seems that the headphone cups have a swivel mechanism relative to the bow, however, the design is rigidly fixed.
The headphones are open, and accordingly, the surrounding world (and those around your music) is clearly audible in them. Accordingly, iGrado headphones are well suited for a noisy street and are not suitable for trips in noisy vehicles such as the subway.
If the advantages of iGrado for athletes are quite obvious, then who else will need headphones with an occipital type headband? iGrado will be relevant for those who wear a hat in the summer (for example, a hat with wide brim), on top of which ordinary on-ear headphones can not be worn.
The headphone cord is soft and visually durable. The length of the wire corresponds to the standard 1.2 meters for portable headphones.
To evaluate the sound quality, we used the Hidizs AP100 player .
Due to the fact that the capsules in iGrado are the same as in the Grado 60i, the sound intersects in many ways, and considering the price categories, the price / quality ratio for iGrado is at a very high level.
Due to other (smaller) ear cushions, iGrado has a slightly smaller scene, but more dense bass. The main advantages include the lack of sharpness in sound, good sensitivity and natural bass, without hypertrophic infraniza. iGrado is accordingly the best at dealing with classical music, jazz and ambient.
Measurements at Reference Audio Analyzershowed that iGrado headphones have a fairly flat frequency response. In the low-frequency region, the decline begins at 50 Hz, which corresponds to a similar decline in speakers with a woofer under 6-7 inches. At high frequencies, the decline begins at 18 kHz. Headphones will be just right for those who often listen to speaker systems at the same time and are not ready to constantly adjust and get used to the specific frequency balance of other headphones (excessively bass, etc.).
The headphone impedance is 33 ohms and does not significantly affect the frequency response of the output impedance of the amplifier. Those. iGrado can be connected to different sources without fear that the headphones will change their sound.
