Worthy Sound

The story of the SR80x holds a special place in not only our ears, but the ears of hundreds of thousands of listeners. The first pair was built in 1991 and we wouldn’t be here today without it. With its soundstage, world renowned mid-range, and speed, the SR80x is worthy of being the longest running Grado headphone.

Love my Grados

Enjoying my SR-80X, which were replacements for my 30-year-old SR-80s.

My old cans still sound fine, but thought would benefit from a newer pair now I’m streaming high resolution files. Really appreciate the heavy duty fabric covered cords that now come on this model.

Returned the old SR-80 to Brooklyn once for new cords and replaced the cushions three times so not bad for 30 years frequent use. So gratified that they’re made in the USA and repairable.

A highly rated value wireless headphone set had fair sound and noise canceling but the plastic headband didn’t have a metal core and snapped in half after a year of light use. Very deceptive as the part connecting the earpieces to the headband were metal rods. No more disposable overseas made junk for me. Grados all the way!

These open back headphones deserve every ounce of credit they are given! My boyfriend had mentioned how badly he wanted a pair a couples of months ago, and had even purchased one, but he has awful buyers remorse and immediately canceled the order after purchase. So after setting aside a couple of dollars every paycheck I was able to buy him a pair without breaking the bank, which I cannot say how rare that seems to be in the open-back headphone options online. The soundstage is incredible with these, they have obviously been crafted with a lot of thought and care, and have already shown to be a special pair of headphones. I also cannot get over how happy my boyfriend has been with them, I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a reliable and affordable pair of open back headphones, these really are it!
