For more than three decades it has introduced generations of listeners to the energy and immediacy of open-back headphones, with many of today's audio reviewers, engineers, and company founders first discovering serious listening through an SR80. In this Classic Series version, elements once found in the SR125 and SR225 have been consolidated into the SR80, refining performance while keeping it accessible. Hand-built in Brooklyn, the SR80 is available now at Vinyl Sound in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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 for efficiency and control. The X2 platform adds refined tuning developed through years of listening, improving balance and clarity while preserving the lively character that defines the SR80. Compared with the SR60, it delivers greater immediacy and presence, tighter bass, more forward midrange energy, and extended high-frequency detail. It uses Grado's standard headband with a steel spring band for easy fit adjustment, a fixed Bronze cable, and standard F cushions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransducer Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDynamic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Principle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen air (open-back)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDriver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44mm X2 dynamic, Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, rare-earth magnet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20Hz to 20kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPL (1mW)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e98 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDriver Matching\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrado Bronze, fixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTermination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5mm with detachable 6.3mm (1\/4 inch) adaptor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeadband\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard assembly, padded synthetic headstrap, steel spring band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEar Cushions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrado F cushions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClassic Series, hand assembled in Brooklyn, NY\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy from Vinyl Sound?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Sound is an authorized Canadian dealer for Grado.
