The story of the SR80x holds a special place in not only Grado's ears, but the ears of hundreds of thousands of listeners. The first pair was built in 1991 and Grado wouldn’t be here today without it. With its soundstage, world renowned mid-range, and speed, the SR80x is worthy of being the longest running Grado headphone.

why they no listen to Zeos about the cable?

In the picture the cable looks to be wrapped in cloth... still hardwired though.

Braided cables indeed! They also say the band is reworked to be more comfortable.

Can’t wait to hear what the new X drivers do. I really liked the “e”.

And yet no detachable cables... continues to be what prevents me from going Grado.

 

[John Massaria]

yup
no detachable cables - even Master Dynamic use detachable cables and they are in Brooklyn too I think so it's not a location thing

I get it, but I have never changed a headphone cable and had way better sound.

The quality of Grado cables is good and not hard to repair.

Why would anyone listen to Zeos?

Probably adds a little weight and cost to the headphones.

My SR60 are still going strong after so many years of use, though the gold plating on the plug worn off. Pads are pretty much the only consumables.

are you kidding? The Grado cables are by FAR the worst cables on any major brand. I know, because I've owned two pairs of Grados that both died because the cables failed. They are HORRIBLE.

Pretty sure it’s an image concept

I'm curious about the differences between the SR325e and the new x. It might be just the next headphone I buy.

 

[donlin]

The change to F pads will make a big difference in the sound. The great reaction to the Hemp may have had something to do with that decision.

Good thing grados were assembled with hot glue so its a easy fix when it breaks. I can't believe the 420 hemp edition trulyy sounds that much better btw. Totally unrelated
