In the Beginning.
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.
What We’re Known For
Signature Sound
Grado speakers can reveal new notes and details in songs heard hundreds of times. The driver and housing working in tandem react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. The full bodied vocals and excellent dynamics compliment the musical characteristics that are brought to light through the extreme clarity and wide range of the SR80x.
A New Harmony.
X Series Driver
4th Generation Grado drivers are here. Specifically tuned for the SR80x, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for our 44mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.
A Little Extra.
New Cables & Headband
Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the SR80x. Now housed in a more durable exterior, the 4-conductor cable features a super annealed copper wire for improved purity of the audio signal. The new headband features more cushion for a comfier experience.
With Love.
Hand-Assembled in Brooklyn
Each SR80x is hand-assembled by our team in Brooklyn. This headphone goes from workbench to workbench until it’s ready for your ears. We started building on a kitchen table in 1953, and every experience since then has led to the creation of the SR80x.

Great sound fair price
Wellcoming staff. Very knowledgable. Great store!
the real test is time
Bought these for the good CR reviews for reliability versus cost. They may feel light but I know much worse headphones just stick a piece of metal in there to increase weight for that reason and still fail no matter how heavy they feel. That lightness makes these comfortable, and while they do allow lot of sound in from outside, that’s the purpose of open backs, and a personal preference that I’m okay with.
A transcendent pair of headphones
These make all music sound better. A bath of sound.
It's amazing
I'm only giving these headphones 4 stars due to the cable. It's really microphonic and attached and ehhh. Ok, now that that's out of the way, these headphones are amazing. These are my first real audiophile headphones, coming from the Sony XM4. I know it's cliche to say "I CAN HEAR EVERYTHING!" but that's what it feels like. There's a ton more treble detail and mid detail. The imaging and soundstage, are amazing. Everything in the music just seemed more alive. Listening to The Distance by Cake opened up a whole new world in music for me. In short, these are great.
My new favorite headphones!!
I love its sound, especially when listening to Rock
