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.
The SR80X I received this time sounds slightly inferior to the one I bought many years ago. My old SR80X delivered clearer and better sound than the new one. I decided to purchase a replacement only because the old pair had cracked wires and worn-out ear pads. Even so, its sound quality was still far superior to that of my new SR80X.

Great, Durable, Incredible value
I have an original pair of SR 80s that I have been using non-stop for so many years that I can even recall exactly when I got them. I use them mostly on my computer for gaming, music and video. They sometimes travel with me. I could not be happier with my purchase from 3 or more decades ago. I have replaced the foam on these once and the cords are finally starting to give me issues. These headphones not only preform well but have been durable. I am finally now going to replace these and I was very tempted to just get another pair but instead decided to try the 325s not because these weren't great but more just curious what could possibly be better. I cannot recommend these enough.

Extremely Good Bang for the Buck!
The only reason for not giving a 5-star rating is to allow room for the very high-quality Grado headphones. The open back is an issue when I record vocals, as I like to monitor my voice with loud playback. This causes feedback issues. Aside from that, it is all good! I don't have the money for the more expensive Grados, so this was a great introduction to their quality. The frequency range is very good. I have a hearing disability with a particular deficiency in the low end. I like the SR80x clarity. I'll save up my $$ for another Grado model. Highly recommended for instrument arrangements and music creation.

Received in good order. Comfortable fit. Excellent straight cord. Reproduction is very good. Overall high quality headphones for my ham rig….and at a fair price.
