SR80e

About the SR80e

The Grado SR80e is a popular model in Grado's Prestige Series, designed as a step up from the entry-level SR60e. It features an open-back, on-ear design with replaceable ear cushions and vented diaphragms for spacious, low-distortion sound and extended bass response. The headphones have special 'de-stressed' diaphragms and a four-conductor connecting cable that enhance inner detail and provide a more open soundstage. They offer a lively 'front row' signature sound with quick dynamics, robust bass, and clean mids and highs, making them suitable for various music styles. The SR80e is easily driven by portable devices without requiring a headphone amp, though some users find an amp adds dimension and heft. The headphones are hand-assembled in Brooklyn, USA, and come with a 1-year warranty (excluding earpads).
