Grado SR80i Open Back Headphones (Grado SR 80i) [HH00124]

Grado SR80i Description

Grado SR80i Open-Back Headphones Prestige Series. World renowned Grado Labs in Brooklyn are striving for the best sounding headphones you can get for an affordable price. And the SR80i proves they are on the right path. With rave reviews from experts around the globe it seems that Grado have achieved just this. Built on the same characteristics as the SR60i, the SR80i is a touch more superior with an incorporated 4 conductor cable and larger ear cushions providing an even more open soundstage. Bass response is improved resulting in the enhancement of the overall detail.

Durable materials have been employed in the creation of the SR80i with spongy soft earcups and flexible vinyl headband along with metal height adjusters. The superiority of the material is harmonised in quality by the open and lucid soundstage of the Grado SR80i.

The open design of the SR80i's ear cups offer a sound that has little noise attenuation from external resonance. This means that those around you will hear sound ‘leaking' from the headphones. However, the advantage of this attribute, due to the lack of sound bouncing back from the earcups, is an open and noticeably lucid sound representation. Portable media players have no difficulty driving the SR80i, nonetheless a headphone amplifier will perk up the overall detail of treble and add additional power to the bass response.

Open cell foam utilised by Grado Labs for the earpads covering the vented diaphragm is made from soft, porous material providing an extra comfortable fit. Metal height adjusters assure the SR80i will stay put when on the move. A rotation of 360° of these metal adjusters also means that the SR80i can lie flat on surfaces making them ideal for travelling.

Recommended by experts around the globe, the SR80i has achieved "legendary" status and has been in production for over ten years. Maintained by outstanding specialist reviews the SR80i is looking forward to many more years on the marketplace.

Pioneering value for money and excellent sound quality - John Grado, Brooklyn, USA.
