Built on the same features as the SR60, but utilizes a 4 conductor connecting cable and larger ear cushions, the result of which gives a more open stage. The SR80 provides an improved bass resonance, which enhances the overall detail. John Grado says he strove for the best sounding phones for the money, and with the glowing reviews the SR80's have received, who can argue.

Features:

  • Vented diaphragm
  • Non Resonant air chamber
  • Standard copper voice coil wire
  • Standard copper connecting cord
  • Mini plug with 1/4" adaptor

    Excellent Sound

    "Best sounding headphones I've ever heard my music with. I also find them quite comfortable and can wear them for several hours a day at work. That's coming off a pair of Sennheiser HD280's, which by the way I also find reasonably comfortable, but they put on more pressure because they're closed and did make my ears hurt by the end of the day. With the Sennheisers, I kept missing phone calls, because they muffle ..." Read Full Review »

    nice sound, but uncomfortable

    "before i bought the sr80's, i tried many others. dr. dre's were the best, but were a bit to expensive; bose were the next and most comfortable, but had read that they often came apart; so i bought the sr80's. the sr80's sound is amazing for the price, but their uncomfortable as hell. they actually hurt, and i did read that about them, but i also read that they would eventually become less uncomfortable. i've..."

    "I've owned Bose but they're too fragile.

    I've owned Sonys' but the sound quality doesn't compare.

    I've owned a slew of other obscure, cheap and expensive headphones & earphones and the Grados' beat them all because you can wear them for a long time without ear fatigue and the sound is Impeccable. "

    "I mainly purchased these headphones as studio monitors. I liked the fact that these are open rather than closed back.

    These things sound great. They can g …"  Read Full Review »
