Grado Classic SR80 Headphones

The Grado Classic SR80 Headphones are designed for listeners who want a more energetic introduction to open-back listening. As one of Grado’s most recognised models, the SR80 builds on the accessible Classic Series formula with a lively, direct presentation that suits rock, indie, acoustic, and everyday music listening. Its open-back housing lets music breathe more naturally, creating a sense of space that feels less closed-in than typical sealed headphones.

At the centre is Grado’s 44mm X2 dynamic driver, built with a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, and rare-earth magnetic system for efficient, controlled performance. Compared with the SR60, the SR80 offers greater immediacy, tighter bass, more forward midrange energy, and extended high-frequency detail. F cushions bring the driver closer to the ear for a more present sound, while the lightweight moulded housing, padded synthetic head-strap, adjustable steel spring band, and fixed Bronze cable keep the design simple, durable, and easy to enjoy at home.
