”Frontrunners in the budget wired headphones field.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Step-up in sound
The SR80x headphones are where the Grado Prestige series began. Stepping up on the SR60x model, the SR80x features de-stressed drivers for a broader and more open sound. The style has stayed the same since 1991, making these headphones a true icon of headphone design.
Fourth generation, X Series driver
The fourth generation of SR80 gets the latest X Series drivers for reduced distortion and enhanced response. Tuned specifically for the SR80x, the combination of more powerful magnets and reduced voice coil mass helps improve the headphones efficiency and speed of response. This not only reduces distortion but also improves the harmonic response, meaning the sound is closer to the original than ever.
Durable design
Always a durable design, the SR80x features an even tougher cable. Essential in a pair of headphones that are designed for music on the move, the high quality connection cable has a more durable exterior. Folding earpieces make the headphones easy to pack once you’ve arrived at your destination.
Improved comfort
Fully adjustable earpieces and soft foam pads have always made the Prestige headphones one of the most comfortable in their class. Now featuring a padded headband, the latest version are even more comfy, making longer listening sessions fly by.
Hand-built in Brooklyn
Each pair of SR80x headphones is hand-built in Brooklyn. With a history that stretches right back to 1953, the company is still run by the Grado family, giving continuity to the product design and style. Evolution rather than revolution has kept the Grado headphones at the peak of their game and top of their class.
Hear what a headphone icon sounds like, with the Grado SR80x.

Grado SR80Xs are Great
Listening to my Vinyl through my Turntable Technics GR1210 and Marantz 6005 series amp and CD.
Picked up sounds and instruments that I hadn’t heard before through my decent Monitor Audio Bronze 5s.
All bought through Richer Sounds, why?, because they know the products they sell, very friendly and offer help when setting up your system.

Like the first decent pair I got 50 years ago
Simple, solid old-school cans that have a genuinely realistic sound when compared to some of the wireless rubbish on the market.

Perfect Present
The we bought for a sceptical husband who did not think the would be that great. Then he tried them and his words were 'oh my god these are incredible!' - job done.

Blown away!
I’m absolutely blown away by the sound quality of these headphones. I’m not usually one for open backed headphones, but I can’t fault these at all. Plenty of bass without being over powering, clean mids and highs. What more could you ask for! Oh and they are super light and comfy, just be aware that the cable is super chunky!

Your feet will be tapping
If you like subtle, drive on. There's nothing for you here. Being open backed they leak sound like the proverbial sieve. But if you love music and want to be involved when you listen then click "Buy". They have a lively sound, an expansive sound stage, due to being open backed. My music taste is very catholic. It may be Verdi's La Traviata one minute and Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here the next. They work well across everything I listen to. Normally, mine are connected to a ifi Hip-Dac which is fed from an iPhone or MacBook. No problem driving them direct from these devices but sound better through the DAC.

Great Grados
Bought these on my son’s recommendation, absolutely thrilled. A richer sound and can hear others without having to take them off. Wish I had found this family run business before now. Well made absolute attention to detail. If you are looking for quality headphones at a reasonable price then get these. I love them.
