Description
The New Classic
The first Grado headphone, this is the legendary pair that started it all, better than ever.
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 headphones 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. SR80x's drivers are de-stressed with special coating to reduce resonance.
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 nylon-braided exterior, the 4-conductor cable features a super annealed copper wire for improved purity of the audio signal. The new headband, made from vegan leather, features more cushioning for a comfier experience. Grado headbands have a tempered stainless-steel malleable tension core; manually adjust the shape to your own preference.
With Love.
Hand-Built in Brooklyn
Each SR80x is hand-built 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.
