Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Grado SR60 is 2 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. The platform is level; the newer hardware shows up in convenience features instead - the Alienware Pro Wireless adds USB-C.

What reviewers said
Alienware Pro Wireless
Its leatherette pads and moderate 310g weight aim for comfort during long sessions, while the 2.4GHz wireless option and USB-C charging add versatility for desk and on-the-go use. Sound quality is generally strong, but the microphone performance and a single SBC codec limit keep it from being a flawless all-rounder.
- Pro:Excellent battery life, especially with ANC off
- Pro:Comfortable leatherette ear pads for long wear
- Pro:Active noise cancellation and transparency mode included
- Con:Microphone quality is underwhelming for the price
- Con:Only SBC codec support limits high-res wireless audio
- Con:No multipoint connection for seamless device switching
Grado SR60
The Grado SR60 is a budget-friendly, wired open-back headphone designed for home listening and critical audio appreciation. It delivers a spacious soundstage and clear midrange, though its bass response is limited and it offers virtually no isolation from outside noise. Best suited for quiet environments, it provides an accessible entry point into Grado's signature warm sound.
- Pro:Spacious and open soundstage
- Pro:Clear vocals and instruments
- Pro:Strong value for the price
- Con:Weak bass response
- Con:Poor noise isolation and sound leakage
- Con:Can sound sharp at times
