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 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.

Great sound but uncomfortable to wear
I learned of this product from Comsumer Reports. My previous headphones have been Bose, specifically over-the-ear noise canceling, and from a comfort standpoint, had no reason to change. What drove me to change was my current pair is starting to show wear and not being a fan of the noise cancelling feature. The product that was at the top of CR's list in non-noise-canceling, on/over ear, and in my price range was this one - the SR80x. I was nervous about them being on-the-ear, but the overall satisfaction rating was enough for me to give it a go. Unfortunately, after a few wears, I find I don't fall into the crowd that would vote this. Sound quality is great, but I find after a couple hours I have to take them off due to ear discomfort. I tried moving them forward and rearward to change the pressure points to enable me to wear longer but didn't find success.

Excellent sound quality but press too tightly on the ears despite adjustments.
Hi Brian,
There is a metal band in that runs through the headband that can be bent to whatever shape you need it to be, this should allow you to make the inward pressure to your liking...
