Very solid and very comfortable. I probably need to get more used to the open style to give another star, I've been using sound isolating earphones and over ear headphones until now. Granted its new but it feels like it should last a long time.

When a headset has ‘A Higher Level of Listening' boasted on the front of the box, it sparks interest immediately. What makes this headset, in comparison to the rest, so much better than that of the any other headset Or at least, how does it provide a higher level of listening

Enthusiasts in search of headphones to use in private, stationary spaces need look no further than the Grado Labs SR80e open-backed on-ear headphones. For just $99, this American-made product delivers extremely detailed audio, plush design, and tons of clarity.

Quite amazing headphones for the price. The clarity is about as good as it can get at this price point.

very detailed sound

the foam pads can get your ears quite warm

The Grado SR80e are on-ear headphones, the new version of the SR80i released more than half a decade ago. Headphones have changed plenty in that time, but the SR80e are much like the SR80i, but with a slightly tweaked build and redesigned drivers.

Vital and detailed sound; Fast; punchy bass

Leaky design; Less than luxurious comfort

Very comfortable on ear design. I like the slightly old fashioned look. A little bit plasticky compared with the higher value 325's but it makes them lighter and they still sound great, which is what it's all about. Great value and well made with a very thick and durable cable.

Great sounding headphones for a great price. They are light in weight and comfortable to wear. Build quality is good.

Open-back on-ear headphones are a rarity, but Grado has knocked this one out of the park

Excellent treble and midrange detail; Lively sound; Tight bass

Not the most relaxed sound

Dynamic and wonderfully detailed, these open-backed headphones are a delight to listen to but they're not for everyone

Engaging; detailed sound; Spacious sound; Relatively inexpensive

Leaky; open-backed design; No passive isolation; Some may find the sound too full on
