Grado SR-80 headphones, Grado SR80 headphones, head phone wireless headphones

Built on the same features as the legendary and world-acclaimed SR60 but utilizing a 4 conductor connecting cable and larger ear cushions, the SR80 gives a more open stage. The SR80 delivers 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.

 

The SR80 offers more articulation and subtlety. It sounds excellent with portables and inexpensive home audio electronics. This is best bang for the buck Grado headphone.

What people say about the SR80

"...these are truly wonderful headphones, they've got the bass energy... ripping into heavy tracks with a gusto that eludes lesser rivals. With vocals they intoxicate with a natural feel and beautifully proportioned soundstage: few headphones can transport you as convincingly... The Grado SR80's are special. Buy'em, and Love'em."
What HiFi

"First Headphone ever awarded a "GOLDEN NOTE AWARD" Presented by the Academy for the Advancement of High End Audio."

Winner of Audio Video's "GRAND PRIX AWARD"

"It figures that these Brooklyn-made phones would kick some serious butt. These babies have a pretty big sound; a powerful, tight bottom end, very articulate midrange, and a good top end. They have an airy, open quality-less in your head then most phones near their price."
Audio Video Vol. 1, No. 4 - Steve Guttenberg

"If you are looking for a headphone to use as a reference, you may want to go up the line. To me, the SR80 is the price-performance winner."
Pro Audio Review Vol. 2, No. 5 - Tom Jung, DMP recordings


Comparison of Prestige Series Headphones

 

GRADO SR-325i SR 325i SR325i HEADPHONES

Ships to US only

The SR325i are the top of the range Prestige headphones. They incorporate all of the design features of the lesser models, combined with UHPLC wire in both the voice coil and connecting cord. Non-resonant aluminum alloy is used in the make up of the metal driver housings. Grado also embarked on a complex treatment in order to increase the materials porosity. This ensures that the earphone chamber has no "ringing" which may obscure detail or add coloration. The resulting headphone combines pristine, open and very detailed highs, well defined mid range and vocal bass.

The SR325i sound excellent with portables and inexpensive home audio electronics. For use with sources that require a mini-jack (computer, portables, etc.), you will need a 1/4 inch to mini adapter. This is not included in the package.

- Vented diaphragm
- Aluminum air chamber
- Ultra high-purity long crystal copper voice coil wire
- Ultra high-purity long crystal copper connecting cord
- 1/4 inch plug

GRAHAM SLEE SOLO HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER

The Graham Slee Solo headphone amplifier is the choice of several studios and editing suites for one very important reason - the Solo headphone amplifier makes it easy to hear the editing cues. These are musical cues that are part of the performance, but they happen so quickly that lesser headphone amplifiers are not able to resolve quickly enough and thus mask. This makes the editing suite's job very difficult indeed. The wide-bandwidth performance of the Solo headphone amplifier reproduces music with the highest resolution. Coupled with its excellent dynamics, the Solo headphone amplifier is the obvious choice for the professional user or for the pristine listener who wants to hear music as it was originally recorded.

EARJOY YURI-PG (Pink Gold) supersonic earphones — UNDIGITAL

YURI is the Japanese word for the flower Lily (Lilium), a genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs, all with large prominent flowers. The Lily flower symbolizes purity and refined beauty. YURI is around the Manga girl in the product package.

In seeking to offer sound realism, Earjoy™ sought to reproduce the natural sound of its original source – not as it is observed, documented, coded and then re-presented. We believe natural sound is the sound everyone should experience and enjoy.

Our counterparts advocate with their corporate zeal and coffers that the human ear can only hear from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. This has resulted in corporate decisions for human kind to limit music reproduction to that range! This has resulted in the widespread production and adoption of devices for the digital ear. Digital sound is like an artifical plant or flower. No matter how you create it, brand it, re-name it, it is still fake!

At Earjoy™ we are UNDIGITAL. We produce for the human ear. Thus the rationale for the Supersonic Frequency Response (SSFR) of our earphones — the first of several undigital devices to follow.

Thus too our choice for wired over and above wireless and Bluetooth.

In search of a manufacturing partner, we decided on Japan over the many Asian choices. Our first criterion over any other is perfection or to be more elaborative — manufacturing excellence and craftsmanship. Our earphones are designed, manufactured and packaged in an artisanal, small factory deep inside a mountainside in Japan. The Earjoy team is all-Japanese with one exception—her founder is American.

Musicians and composers desire accurate recording and reproduction. They strive for complete reproduction of their art. Each earjoy earphone honors and plays the musician's artistic work in its purity. All else is artifice. All else is discarded.
