Several occasions call for music but hardly any products are specifically designed to cater to those quiet moments between you and the sound. When the world gives you a moment of solace and you find yourself with time to unwind, few pieces are as perfect for your needs as the Grado Labs SR80x. With a potent mixture of style, comfort and affordability, this staple of the Grado product range is catered to the new audiophile, equipping them for the first moment they truly fall in love with music.


Operating for over seventy years, Grado Labs can be credited as the birthplace of audio-quality focused headphones. Led by generations of the same Brooklyn family, Grado has devoted themselves to the love of music, dedicating their entire family to ensure the creation of quality audio products.

Based on the original model created by Grado Labs, the Grado SR80x Headphone is yet another addition to Grado’s incredible X-series, taking everything that worked with the SR80 and giving it a modern upgrade. With plush, comfortable earpads and an adjustable band, the SR80x can work for any audiophile, but one feature sets it apart for personal use in a quiet environment. Featuring an open back, the SR80x contends with some internal and external bleeding of sound. This means that the environment is an integral consideration in one’s listening experience, encouraging users to seek out that moment of quiet enjoyment in their lives.


As for what sets the X-series variant apart from its precursor, that comes down to what’s under the hood. Of course, the adjustable strap and easily replaceable ear-pads offer incredible comfort for lasting listening sessions, but the model also includes some of Grado’s greatest innovations in audio mastery.


Grado's latest drivers feature a powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm, ensuring unparalleled efficiency, minimal distortion, and pure harmonic integrity for a truly immersive experience.

Whether you are a new audiophile seeking to take the first step on your journey, or an old-school music lover looking to recapture the magic of that first moment you fell in love, the SR80x is an excellent choice. Featuring an almost brutalist, old-school design with a modern fit, the SR80x marks a cornerstone in the audiophile world, offering you Grado Labs’ sonic mastery at an affordable price.


Though you might be tempted to take these everywhere you go, they’re made to be enjoyed in comfort and quiet, where you can sit back, relax, and allow the pristine audio to overtake your senses, culminating in a truly unforgettable and personal listening experience.
