Hi. I love traveling, skiing, music. Got my dream job selling Hi-Fi a while ago. It was hard work - just fetching & carrying for no reward. Back at an electronics bench now. If I could just find a job combining those first 3 things....

In the interests of disclosure, I used to sell these products! These are great headphones with Grado's unique vintage styling. These are the second headphone up the range and a clearly noticable improvement from the entry level (they use better wiring & technically superior, closer matched drivers). The jump up to the next headphone in the series (SR125) does not give anywhere near the same return for your money as the jump from SR60 to SR80. So in this respect at least, the extra money is well worth it. (I always felt that you needed to jump up 2 models above the SR80 to get a similar jump in quality). They have a long lead as standard and come with mini-jack plug (for portable kit) and an adaptor to fit standard 1/4 inch jacks on Hi-Fi kit. So what do they do well? Good bass extension, good detail in the mid range and nicely extended treble (without being 'sharp' or 'harsh' like so many of the competition). Just an allround quality headphone really. They can be little difficult to get used to wearing because they sit on the earlobe rather than around it but the (easily replaced) earcushion is quite thick and will become more comfortable after a while. I have read a negative review about the durability and can only say that in my experience selling them I did not see a wire problem ever (one broken headband was all I saw). But I will say that they are perhaps not the most suitable headphone for stuffing in & out of a backpack. In summary, a great quality headphone for a reasonable price. Vintage looks but bang up to date sound and quality.

Advantages: Colour screen makes browsing easier, and allows display of album artwork, and photos. Disadvantages: Uploading the album art can slow the iPod, and takes up space for music.
