## Overview

The GRADO SR80x Prestige Series headphones feature 44mm dynamic drivers with a powerful magnetic circuit and reconfigured diaphragm for superior sound clarity. Their open-back design delivers an expansive audio experience, while the super annealed copper 4-conductor cable ensures signal purity. Lightweight with a padded headband, these wired headphones are handcrafted in Brooklyn, combining vintage craftsmanship with modern audio precision.

## Description

Fourth generation Grado drivers are here. Tuned specifically for the SR80x, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a reduced effective mass voice coil and a reconfigured diaphragm. Re-engineering these components for our 44mm drivers improves efficiency, reduces distortion and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music. Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the SR80x. The 4-core cable is now housed in a more durable braided jacket and features a super-annealed copper wire for improved audio signal purity. The new headband is more padded and provides more comfort. Each SR80x is handcrafted by our team in Brooklyn. These headphones go from workbench to workbench until they're 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.

Review: Expected marmite, got caviar. - TL;DR, if you've heard anything about these, you're going to go in with some trepidation. Give them a chance and they'll 100% win you over. A little disclaimer before I begin; I'm a relative newcomer to the world of audiophile gear. I'm perfectly happy with my Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, my Sony WH-CH700Ns, and the AKG earphones that come packaged with Samsung phones these days, but there's no time like the present to start actually caring about the music I listen to. BUILD: The good - As the second cheapest set of cans in Grado's arsenal, you're not exactly going to get something that will stand up to cannon-fire. That being said, there's very little on them that can break. No notched adjustment to wear out over time, a thick cable that'll put up with some punishment, and the earpads (although foam) can be replaced quite cheaply if you don't mind buying third-party. I wouldn't throw them haphazardly into my backpack, but I'm not too worried about them biting the dust through normal usage. The bad - The cable. I praise its ruggedness, but at the same time, it has its drawbacks. The thickness (coupled with the fact that the cups can rotate 360°) means that you're inevitably going to find yourself needing to untwist it with some regularity. The nylon braid around the cable is also a bit of a drawback; if it rubs against your clothes or - god forbid - against itself if it gets twisted, you're going to hear it. COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE: The good - These things are light! Properly adjusted, you'll be able to wear them for hours. I was worried about the foam getting a bit abrasive after a while, but I was pleasantly surprised on that front. The padded headband is a lovely touch, and the cable is just the right length for me; easy enough to thread through my hoodie to plug into my phone without too much length left over to flop around, but long enough to plug into my PC and recline for a listening session. If you wear glasses like I do, don't worry about it; they fit over those just fine without pressing them into the sides of your head. The bad - You're going to feel a bit icky about how you adjust these to fit your head. For the best fit, you're going to need to straighten the headband out almost fully, then bend the sides down so they fit /over/ your head rather than around. If you don't do it that way, the cups press almost painfully into your ears after a while. If you do, they're wonderfully comfortable. That might not sound like too much of an issue, but if you're a budget-minded buyer spending just under £100 on a set of cans, you're going to feel like you need to treat them with kid-gloves. Don't worry about it, I'm serious, they can handle it. Though there is a drawback; you can't look down without feeling like they're going to fall straight off. SOUND: The good - With the vast majority of my music library, these things sound absolutely spectacular. I'm hearing things I have never heard before in tracks I've listened to a thousand times. With big band jazz, acoustic, classical, a-capella, and even dubstep, EDM, and drum and bass, these things will blow you away. Get yourself in a quiet room, sit yourself down, and listen to your favourite song; I can guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised by something. I went into this having heard a lot about 'the Grado sound', and thinking I'd be left wanting more low-end as I'm a sucker for some silly bass, but... these handle it. Sure, they're not exactly going to rattle the fillings out of your teeth, but the low end on these is -wonderful-. And the high ends? Well, they're what the Grado sound is known for. Cymbals in metal, the timbre of violins and flutes, the fingering sounds of guitars, the reverb of live recordings... They're detailed. The bad - Mouth noises, I guess? You can hear what the vocalist had for lunch in any acoustic/a-capela track you listen to. Any other bad things I have to say about the sound of these is purely down to them being open-backs. They bleed, you can hear everything around you, but you're buying open-backs; what do you expect? You're trading isolation for soundscape. CONCLUSION: Buy these. If you don't like them, the likelihood is that someone you know will love them. Also, listen to Ain't That a Kick in the Head by Dean Martin; that's the song that made me realise how good these were.
Review: Great value, great sound - Superb set of Headphones. Handmade in the US for under a hundred GB pounds. Whilst some moan about build quality you actually rarely hear of any material faults or headsets failing! Quite the contrary, many decade old ones, bashed about are still going strong and are usually loved by their owners. Yes, they are light weight but no, that is not a problem. Headphone fit is an individual thing, what is comfortable for me may not be for you so I won't say anything other than I can wear these for hours without issues. Now, the most important bit, sound; They sound alive where others can seem to just plod along. They make music exciting to listen to and make different recording qualities sound ... different. They have a slightly up tilted upper mid/lower treble but it is not a 'bright' headphone per se. Treble, on the whole, is actually quite refined and pristine and staging is lovely 'out of the head' whilst still preserving an excellent centre image. Are they 'giant killers'? In some ways, excitement, live staging and cost vs value ... yes they are. In others, ultimate sound and build quality, no, they are not but you'd have to spend considerably more to better them unless Grado's signature sound really offends you. Buy a piece of history and hopefully enjoy them. My other headsets; Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X, Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee, Hifiman Sundara. All through Chord Mojo 2.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing headphones but not for everyone.
*by G***N on 28 June 2022*

These headphones are very bright sounding and lack sub-bass, so they are not suited for genres like edm, phonk, etc. However, they are absolutely amazing for rock, metal, classical and acoustic versions of songs. They still have very good bass for things like bass guitar, kickdrums, etc. The construction isn't the best it is incredibly simple but still feels quite robust, once they are broken in they are quite comfortable and I can wear them for hours. I also think they look unique and have a retro, industrial vibe to them. For the price to performance and the fact that their only 36 ohms meaning any device an drive them, mainly your mobile phone, is fantastic. Overall an excellent choice if you want an alternative option and your music preference aligns with the headphones forte.
