Prestige Series SR80x Headphones
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.
Worthy Sound
With its soundstage, world renowned mid-range, and speed, the SR80x is worthy of being the longest running Grado headphone.
- Hand-Built in Brooklyn
- 4 Conductor Cable
- S Cushion
- Drivers Matched .1dB
- De-Stressed Driver
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-Built in Brooklyn
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.

About the Grado GR0017
From our tech experts at CEN
Grado headphones, open-backed, still hand-assembled in the family workshop in Brooklyn.
Who it suits
Home listening, where open-backed designs give a sense of space closed headphones cannot — though everyone nearby hears them too, so they are not for the office or a train. Grado’s sound is forward and direct, which people tend to love or find too much.
Our tech experts advise
Source quality matters more than most people expect: good headphones reveal a weak source rather than covering for it, so a DAC or player is usually the next step. get in touch for a recommendation.
