44mm X2 Dynamic Driver
At the center of the SR80 is Grado’s 44mm X2 dynamic driver built around a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, and rare earth magnetic system engineered for efficiency and control.
The X2 platform also incorporates refined tuning developed through years of listening and feedback, improving balance and clarity while preserving the lively character that has long defined the SR80.
Compared with the SR60, the SR80 delivers greater immediacy and presence with tighter bass response, more forward midrange energy, and extended high-frequency detail.
Standard Headband Assembly
The SR80 uses Grado’s standard headband assembly paired with a padded synthetic headstrap.
At the core of the design is Grado’s steel spring band, allowing listeners to easily adjust the inward pressure of the headphones for a personalized and comfortable fit.
Bronze Cable
The SR80 is supplied with Grado’s Bronze cable in a fixed configuration, balancing durability with dependable signal performance.
F Cushions
The SR80 ships standard with Grado F cushions, bringing the driver closer to the ear and reinforcing its energetic presentation.
Like all Grado cushions, they also act as a tuning element, allowing listeners to personalize tonal balance and presentation.
Molded Housing
The SR80 utilizes a lightweight die-injection molded housing that provides durability while keeping the headphone comfortable and easy to wear.
The open-back architecture allows music to breathe naturally.

Customer Reviews
I got a pair of the new SR80's after having previously owned SR125X's and SR325X's. The first thing I noticed out of the box is that they seemed to be much better built. The others weren't bad at all, but I was always kind of worried about breaking them, where I don't feel that as much with these 80's. I immediately noticed the headband, just in looks and feel it is definitely an upgrade. I loved the F cushions on the 325X's, so I was really happy to have those on this new pair. Some say having the driver against your ear might be a bit painful or cause ear fatigue, I didn't find that to be the case. I also wear glasses and none of the Grado's caused any kind of pain or fatigue. The biggest improvement though is the cable. I didn't mind the old phat cable, but this new one is a lot smaller, making it easier to move around and work with. As far as the sound goes, well it's a Grado, so you won't be disappointed at all, especially with rock music. I like to turn it just a notch above what I might normally listen to music at and that extra bump in volume really brings out the "excitement" that this great brand is known for.
Just received the new Grado SR80 and after years of using a Koss Porta Pro this was a very nice step up in a on ear headphone which is really the best way to go.
