Probably one of the most famed headphones in their class, the Grado SR80e are now better than ever.
Audiophile sound quality
Following on from a line of award-winning SR80s, the latest 'e' version is still every bit the music connoisseurs' choice. Still handmade in Brooklyn USA, the SR80e headphones look, feel and sound quite different from the opposition. With the 'e' model, both driver and housing have been redesigned to lower distortion. Polymer damping helps ensure distortion is quelled and detail is brought to the fore.
Exceptional transparency
Using a new 4-conductor cable, Grado has also sought to improve headphones' resolution, giving them the kind of transparency you'd expect from a pair of headphones costing twice as much. In short, if it's life-like realism with full-bodied vocals and impressive dynamics you're after, little, if anything at this price can better the SR80e.
Robust and comfortable
Using densely padded earpieces and a broad headband, the SR80es are more comfortable than they might at first appear. With swivel earpieces, they also fit snugly against your ears, as well as folding flat for ease of storage. Their construction is tough enough to take a daily commute while still offering long-term comfort.
Unique style
The unique retro style is quite unlike rivals' headphones. In the tradition of many of the best products, however, form follows function, so there's nothing superfluous in the Grado's design.
For headphones that put sound quality above all else, the Grado SR80es continue to lead the pack.

Best headphones you can buy for £100
This is my second Grado purchase as my sr60s are over 8 years old. Still working though - I gave them to my daughter. The sr80e are fantastic sound quality and comfort wise. Sound leaks because they are open back but this is not an issue for me. For home use they are the best

Great sound, but...
Poor build quality.
Bought these in January after a visit to the store in Leicester, and a test of these and other models. They sounded fantastic but despite taking care of storing them when not in use, the cabling, which does not appear to be of the quality you would expect to find in headphones of this price, has split.
To say this is disappointing is an understatement.
Would not recommend them, especially at this price.

Transparent, life-like sound, helps you explore your music
These replaced an 8 year old pair of Grado SR60's, and I wondered if they would sound very similar, but the SR80e picks up fine nuance and detail, so you find yourself listening to familiar songs but enjoying a new experience. Very much for home use, being open-backed, the noise obviously leaks out, not bass-heavy but with a balanced bass. Unusual look and design, but comfortable to wear. If it sound quality you're after, and your not a bass-head, try them.

Now I have to keep my music more personal
& the fact that my old Technics headphones are nearly 20 years old led me to start looking for replacements. Reviews initially led me towards AKG Y50 but then my local Richer had these open box Grado's.
Again reviews were glowing so I asked if I could try them, taking a particularly "attacking" cd to try. Firstly the tambourine intro & drums, then saxophone beautifully clear then the bass guitar (a little light I thought) before the vocals which were near perfect. Trying another favourite song again I thought the bass a little light & that the overall volume could 've been higher.
But all in all a very fine piece of kit that I am content with after further home trials. I would unhesitatingly recommend you try these, & finally Richer Sounds Gidea Park were absolutely unrivalled in their friendliness, knowledge & attitude. We would not buy TV or audio anywhere else! Forget the internet if your serious, go & see these guys!

A great entry into open backed headphones
For a while now I have been contemplating headphones to use at home. Open backed headphones are made for this alone as the openness means that sound leaks both in and out. This sounds rather daft and would be if you intended to use them on a daily commute amidst noise and angry neighbours. So why have headphones that leak sound? The openness creates a far greater soundstage unlike in ear headphones that make the music sound like it is in your head rather than out there. Also when listening in a quiet environment sound is not isolated which for me is a massive bonus as I can hear my kids crying etc ( i.e. The things I need to hear)
In terms of sound quality they are lovely if a little on the trebly side. Those seeking bass heavy headphones will be disappointed but they are balanced and nuanced. Excellent entry into open backed headphones and highly recommendable.

Very satisfied
After plenty of research and good advice from Richer Sounds I purchased these. I am very satisfied indeed. Excellent build quality, as comfortable as expected for on-ear. It's the sound that is so pleasing. I thought my old sennheisers were good but these are a step up

Amazing
I contemplated, I waited, then I purchased them. I discover great sound through the Grado Sr80e. I feel happy with my decision to spend £90 on a pair of headphones. Even my wife likes them.
I was using a pair of Bose QC 3 previously. I think it is time to sell them on ebay
For some reasons, oddly though, the same cannot be said about some staff at London Bridge branch. A bit chaotic to say the least.
Do not hesitate. Buy them.
