description Grado SR80e Overview
Grado SR80e is an open-back, on-ear wired headphone from Grado Labs' Prestige Series. It is manufactured by the family-owned company in Brooklyn, New York, and uses dynamic drivers with a simple design intended for home listening. Because the earcups are open, the model allows sound to pass in and out rather than isolating the listener, so it is best suited to quiet environments and listeners who value an airy presentation over portable noise isolation.
