Grado SR80x (Black)
On Ear Open Back Headphones
£99
”Frontrunners in the budget wired headphones field.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner.
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.

Amazing value.
So this is not my first pair of Grado SR80 headphones, the SR60 and SR80 was recommended to me by an amplifier designer many years ago as musical.
The improvement over my original (and now very worn) SR80’s is quite significant and they are fantastic. Bass improved, clarity and revealing details in tracks I had not noticed before. If Grado made speakers I would want them to sound like the SR80x.

Hard headphones to beat
These Grado headphones move up a notch from the older s model I think x must stand for X rated from plugging them in they sound even clearer and tighter I have a pair of the S model and wouldn't part with them but the X model are phenomenal for the price they haven't left my head since putting them on.

Great sound but uncomfortable
these are excellent sounding for their price point. really impressed with the sound. they are just not very comfortable. these are not over ear like stated but more on ear. After an hour of use they are very uncomfortable and found them painful on the ears. I hope I get use to them because the sound is fantastic and likely give a higher score. but if the issue persists I'll likely be looking for a more comfortable over ear pair but I know I'll have to maybe pay double to get similar sound quality to these. if you don't mind on ear, I would recommend.

Great old fashion style phones
Ordered them one day and they came 2 days later and the delivery man rang the bell and handed me the package which was in good order and so we're the phones. I soon got used wearing them and the sound is excellent and promises to get better when they're brocken in thank you grado and thank you richersounds

Great quality,excellent sound.
I bought these to use with my digital piano. I am learning to play and I didn't want to drive my family mad in the process. These hear-through headphones allow me to play with no worries and still hear when someone speaks to me. Using them with my ageing hi-fi system brings a new fresh dimension to the sound. highly recommended.,
