GRADO - SR80x - Prestige Series - Open Wired Stereo Headphones

Product Information

Some mention that the cable is thick and durable, while others say that it feels quite fragile and cheap. Everything I’ve talked about up until this point with regard to all the other models can be applied to the 60e as well.

You won’t have nearly as many comfort issues with this model and it’s just another reason to try them first over the others in the line.
