Grado Labs Classic Series SR80

Grado Labs Classic Series SR80

The Grado SR80 is an open-back headphone from the Classic Series and has been Grado’s most recognizable and best-selling model for many years. For more than thirty years, the SR80 has introduced music lovers to the lively and direct listening experience for which the brand is known. Thanks to improvements borrowed from the higher-end SR125 and SR225 models, the SR80 offers an even more refined sound reproduction while retaining its accessible character.

44 mm X2 dynamic driver

The SR80 features Grado's 44 mm X2 dynamic driver with a Mylar diaphragm, a copper voice coil, and a powerful rare-earth magnet system. The driver has been further refined based on years of development and feedback, resulting in better balance, greater clarity, and an even more natural sound.

Compared to the SR60, the SR80 delivers a more direct and energetic sound, with tighter bass, more powerful midrange, and greater detail in the high frequencies. This makes music sound even more vivid and dynamic.

Open-back design

The open-back design delivers a spacious and natural sound reproduction that allows instruments and vocals to breathe freely. The wide stereo image and open sound make the SR80 particularly well-suited for critical listening in a quiet environment.

Comfortable headband

The headphones feature the standard Grado headband, which has a soft synthetic headband and a steel spring construction. This allows the clamping force to be easily adjusted for a comfortable and personalized fit, even during long listening sessions.

Grado Bronze Cable

The SR80 comes with a fixed Grado Bronze cable. This durable cable provides reliable signal transmission and is designed for years of worry-free use.

Grado F Ear Pads

The SR80 comes standard with Grado F ear pads. These bring the drivers closer to the ear, resulting in a more direct, energetic, and lively sound. Like other Grado ear pads, these can also be easily replaced to adjust the sound balance and comfort to your personal preference.

Lightweight housing

The lightweight, injection-molded housing combines durability with exceptional comfort. Thanks to its open-back design, the SR80 preserves Grado’s signature spacious sound, delivering music naturally and without coloration.

A classic in the Grado series

With its open, dynamic sound reproduction, refined 44 mm X2 drivers, and comfortable design, the Grado SR80 is an excellent choice for music lovers who want to take it a step beyond the entry-level model. The combination of detail, speed, and musicality has made the SR80 one of the most popular headphones in the Grado lineup for years.
