These headphones are a an upgrade over one of the finest headphones ever produced with an all new driver design and new resonant distortion dampening polymer. Grado specially designed these truly excellent headphones with new drivers and durable plastic housings to move air and react to sound vibrations in a way that all but eliminate transient distortions, ensuring vibrant, lifelike sound quality.


Grado SR80e headphones feature classic Grado design

Designed and built at the Grado headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, the SR80e headphones feature an open-back design that produces a perfectly balanced soundstage. The new 4 conductor cable gives you a connection quality to match that of the actual headphones. The signal flows easily over the cable to reproduce sound with greatly improved, tight control of the highs a lows of your music. These headphones give you every bit of the midrange that you love, the bass you crave and the details you never knew your music had.


We've long been fans of Grado headphones and are really impressed by the quality of sound you get from this new $100 model. If you don't need the isolation of a closed-back design or a built-in microphone for cell phone calls, it's a great headphone for the money.

Best headphones ever

The following review is for SR80e, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

After much research, I decided these were the best headphones and the best value available. They are American made and the open design adds an ambience to music that has to be heard to be appreciated. Very comfortable and I can enjoy hours of music without fatigue. Hard to believe these were available for under $100. Highly recommend them for anyone that wants to discover details in music that were not heard before.
