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.

"...these
are truly wonderful hearphones, they've got the bass energy... ripping into
heavy tracks with a gusto that eludes lesser rivals. With vocals they intoxicate
with a natural feel and beautifully proportioned soundstage: few headphones
can transport you as convincingly... The Grado SR80's are special. Buy'em,
and Love'em."

"Creating a stereo image of excellent depth and clarity, they
ensure every detail is heard, every strand separated." |

"In
the recording studio or for the serious hobbyist, I can't think of
a more versatile or dimensionally satisfying personal speaker system."
Fi magazine / Vol. 2, No. 4 / Anthony Chiarella |
"It
figures that these Brooklyn-made phones would kick some serious butt.
These babies have a pretty big sound; a powerful, tight bottom end,
very articulate midrange, and a good top end. They have an airy, open
quality-less in your head then most phones near their price."

"If
you are looking for a headphone to use as a reference, you may want
to go up the line. To me, the SR80 is the price-performance
winner."
