Grado SR80x
Quantity:
The first Grado headphone, this is the legendary pair that started it all.
The story of the SR80x holds a special place in not only our ears, but the ears of hundreds of thousands of listeners. The first pair was built in 1991 and we wouldn’t be here today without it. With its soundstage, world renowned mid-range, and speed, the SR80x is worthy of being the longest running Grado headphone.
Signature Sound
Grado speakers can reveal new notes and details in songs heard hundreds of times. The driver and housing working in tandem react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. The full bodied vocals and excellent dynamics compliment the musical characteristics that are brought to light through the extreme clarity and wide range of the SR80x.
X Series Driver
4th Generation Grado drivers are here. Specifically tuned for the SR80x, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for our 44mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.
New Cables & Headband
Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the SR80x. Now housed in a more durable exterior, the 4-conductor cable features a super annealed copper wire for improved purity of the audio signal. The new headband features more cushion for a comfier experience.
Hand Assembled in Brooklyn
Founded on a kitchen table in 1953, Grado Labs has been perfecting the art of sonic reproduction every day since. This SR80x has traveled from workbench to workbench until ready for your ears. Every experience since that kitchen table has led to the creation of the SR80x.
In the Box: Headphones, Warranty, Grado story-sheet, 6.5mm Golden Adapter.
