Grado SR80x Prestige Series Headphones

The fourth 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 improves efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.

Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the SR80x. Now housed in a more durable braided sheathing, the 4-conductor cable features a super annealed copper wire for improved purity of the audio signal. The new headband features more padding for a more comfortable experience.

Each SR80x is hand-built by our team in Brooklyn. This headphone goes from workbench to workbench until it’s ready for your ears. We started building on a kitchen table in 1953, and every experience since then has led to the creation of the SR80x.

“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.”
