Grado SR-80i Headphones
Description
Built on the same features as the SR60, but utilizes a 4 conductor connecting cable and larger ear cushions, the result of which gives a more open stage. The SR80 provides an improved bass resonance, which enhances the overall detail. John Grado says he strove for the best sounding phones for the money, and with the glowing reviews the SR80's have received, who can argue.

Features:
  • Vented diaphragm
  • Non Resonant air chamber
  • Standard copper voice coil wire
  • Standard copper connecting cord
  • Mini plug with 1/4" adaptor

    Best sounding headphones I've ever heard my music with. I also find them quite comfortable and can wear them for several hours a day at work. That's coming off a pair of Sennheiser HD280's, which by the way I also find reasonably comfortable, but they put on more pressure because they're closed and did make my ears hurt by the end of the day. With the Sennheisers, I kept missing phone calls, because they muffle sound that much, so I got these, which are open and let you hear everything around, with the added advantage, that they also sound clearer. At first, I felt I had to boost the bass a little, but after a few weeks it seems that they're broken in and I backed up on the bass again.

    before i bought the sr80's, i tried many others. dr. dre's were the best, but were a bit to expensive; bose were the next and most comfortable, but had read that they often came apart; so i bought the sr80's. the sr80's sound is amazing for the price, but their uncomfortable as hell. they actually hurt, and i did read that about them, but i also read that they would eventually become less uncomfortable. i've had them a month, and they have eased up a bit, but still hurt if wearing more than an hour. i feel that if they weren't on the ear, they'de be perfect.

    Very nice headphones for the price. However, I am returning them for a set of Klipsch "over ear" to minimize outside noise levels without having to spend the big bux for noise cancelling headphones.

      Comments about Grado SR-80i Prestige Series Headphones:

      Wonderful warm open air sound with good bass. Nothing better on the market for studio sounding phones at this price range, other than perhaps the SR60. Only thing though that this is an open-air headphone, so you can't exactly use these on the plane as others around can easily hear the music coming out of the headphones
