In the Beginning.

Worthy Sound

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.

What We’re Known For

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.

A New Harmony.

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.

A Little Extra.

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. 

With Love.

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.
