Just bought a pair of Hemphones myself, and my god I love them. I already own 325is Grados from 8 years ago so I knew what I was getting into, but the difference the wood housing makes, hemp specifically is just magical. I'm almost crazy enough to someday try and get PS2000e for the best of their lineup. But that's a huge leap and way more power from a headphone then I should ever need. That said, I'm going to try and get two of my music lover coworkers directed towards Grados, as music majors, they need these in their life.

I've had my SR60i for 10 years now and has been a daily all its life. And they're not "babied" at all. I did a bass mod a year into owning it. Then I replaced the cable for a shorter one for practicality. Then I had to re-solder the cable a year after that because my sister who I pass it on to treated it like a disposable. Then I replaced the cable again for one with an L-plug a few years later. The headphone survived all that stuffing into cramped luggage, tropical weather, and heat from soldering and shell removal.

It's great to see such enthusiastic support for localised companies (I'm not even American, but I mean made in house kinda shit). I'm so tired of big brands- and even some small companies- shipping everything off to places like China for exploited labour just to save themselves some money. Especially when those savings are rarely passed to the consumer. I'm always down for supporting companies like Grado, where they seem to be making smart money saving decisions to help keep their costs reasonable. Wish I could get a pair of these, honestly, they remind me of old 1930s microphones. Look vintage as fuck.

From memory the IGrados are Chinese.. They experimented with making headphones not based on their normal design in China but I don't know how many they do like that now.. Their normal ones are made in the US with differences in cables, materials, wiring etc.. Making the difference between models... But the same basic design apllys to all..

My stepdad and I are paramedics. He was one long before me, and all the 1970's sirens have kind of destroyed his hearing - particularly higher end. But he's always been just super into music. Absolutely loves it, will just sit there with his apple dirty buds and listen to albums. And when he visited me this last month, I put the grado sr80x's on his head. Hardest man in the world and he nearly cried. That piercingly sparkly high end suddenly brought out parts of music he flat out couldn't hear anymore, and hadn't for years. So of course I gave them to him. Dank made me such a grado convert that I now have 125e's and OG 225's, and a pair of custom built gs3000e's (earphonediylabs, fully custom built set with detachable mmcx cables, $220 all in for an $1800 pair of cans. Deal of the damn century) Wife and I use the 225/125's exactly how he described when we're traveling. Splitter coming out of the laptop. Movies sound amazing. God bless grado, seriously.

I just bought a pair of sr80e’s and when I saw this my stomach dropped. I thought he was going to say something that would make me regret my purchase. I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised.

I got my HyperX Cloud 2's for gaming, and the Grado's for music listening. I'm just down right amazed by the value these two headphones represents. The Grado's are only for home use, but I work a lot from home - so they are ideal for use while I work. So much Detail! I love Symphonic and Powermetal, not to mention orchestral music - anything John Williams has made, is audio gold with these.

started watching your channel like a year ago and now I am coming back to this video listening with my new Grado sr80x's. love them.

ngl, I bought my SR80e coz I remember watching a videos where you said that they're like 80% of the sound quality of the SR325e (which you said you use most often for casual listening), but for a lot less money, and I wanted a good pair of open backs to listen to FLACs and watch movies. I fucking love em to bits now and they're the only expensive purchase I haven't grown to regret. So you can imagine the pikachu shock face I pulled when I saw the SR60e (which aren't too different from the 80s) in the thumbnail and the part of the title said "worst headphones ever". I was ready to create a petition to nuke Australia for harbouring the man that made me a grados fan boy and then spat on my face for becoming one. Thankfully, you were just professing your love for em, so Australia lives to fight another day.

I've come to love Grado headsets after buying SR325is 8 years ago before they transitioned everything to an E on their wiring (was I or IS). Now with my own pair of hemphones after looking at reviews, I fell in love with Grado designs all over again. I'd like to get my hands on higher end sets like the PS500e or one of their reference series GS1000 (or one of the lower models for pricing). That said, I know Senheisser, AKG, etc makes really good headphones, I'm just enjoying what Grado has created thus far.

My only gripe with the Grados is the foam. Yeah, I get it shapes the sound and gets the speakers close to your ears without too much obstruction, but I really wish I could use the grados without needing a break after 2 hours of so of enduring that itchy feeling the foam gives my ears.

What's the sound signature of the sr80e

i own these!!!! my first """audiophile""" headphones

Listening on my SR325is, plugged directly into my MB Air. Most 3.5mm sockets don't have enough power to drive my Grados properly. The stock headband was painfully uncomfortable, bought a custom upgrade. I had an issue with the cable that didn't come to light until I bought a proper headphone amp. I was well out of warranty by then, whoever handles things for Grado in the UK weren't interested. I contacted the original seller, who's in the US, who contacted John Grado personally. I paid shipping to get the headphones from UK to New York, Grado replaced the cable, free of charge, and Grado paid for return shipping. Outstanding customer service.

DankPods uploads twice at a time so that we have a review to listen to with each ear.

My "go-to" headphones since about 1989 have been Sony MDR-V6. I have had many other headphones as well, but something about the way the MDR-V6's sound appeal to me. I have noticed things in older recordings that I have not heard with other headphones, such as tape warble that happened during the live recording that ended up on the original vinyl press and subsequent CD's. Other sounds from the studio sessions herd that the artist probably didn't want in the recording as well. I actually enjoy hearing those mistakes. I decided to pick up a pair of the Grado SR60e and have been using them for about a week. I think this may be my new "go-to" headphones. I hear those same "mistakes" with the Grado's where other headphones boost the base or have other electronics that mask what the true recoding has. The only negative I have with the Grado so far is the foam earpad and the sharp edge of the headphone on the part of the headphone near the earpad. I wish the earpad was a little softer perhaps a different material over the foam. It is getting harder to hear the "pure" sounds since I have been getting older. I have listed to music thru headphones for so many years louder than I should have and it has taken a toll on my hearing.

Change the pads to G or L pads they immediately change the sound and make it immediately sound better, but because the drivers are further from your ear, you definitely need an amp to give them the same sound output(will also increase the quality further)

Having modded my 10 year old SR80s, I can say that the worst part of their design is that plastic button with the model number on. Just taking that off and replacing it with an open grid just ever so slightly takes off the tinnyness and the worst of the harshness on the high end, I think that chunk of plastic makes a slight echo at those frequencies and making the back completely open cleans it up. That or that it's I swapped the outer cans with 3D printed parts, they seem slightly less resonant than the OG plastic so maybe.

My older brother just got me some 80s for Christmas and they kick ASS. My other set's a set of ATH-m50x, and they don't suck, but these blow 'em away.

I swear i've heard that bit about "sparkly" before

*Shows the rack of the gods* AYYY THE SAMMIES MADE IT

I have watched all your videos out of my phone speakers so now I gotta rewatch them once my new headphones come in the mail lol

My wife and I got each other the 80's and a headphone splitter for Xmas and I can't wait to watch things together, it genuinely has helped us become even closer, thank you Dank

This was genuinely fun to watch! The analogies... Oh my fricken hell I had a beaming smile on my face whole vid XD

I went to a local hi-fi place out in my area to see if they had a nice buncha headphones that I could try out, and man they had a bunch of wild stuff. They had two pairs of Audezes and it was like seeing a celebrity. Those things sounded wild. Of course, they were unbelievably out of my price range. I puttered around with some other high ends, just spoiling myself. They also had a couple lower-end pairs including those funny little underdogs, the Grados. They had the SR60X ones and I really wanted to give them a shot, and I really loved em when I did. On top of that they had a price tag that I wouldn't sweat if I bought them then and there, and so I did. Turns out the demo pair were the last ones they had in the building so the guy helping me chopped off a quarter of the price, so I was just walking on air. Just wanted to say thanks for opening the door to audio in an approachable way, being reintroduced to all my favorite music is such a wonderful experience.

You've made me so curious to get these! Also thank you for the Frank clips I love you Frank!

Mate. Are they any good for someone (me) with one ear? Can they be “mono’d” ? What is the best way to do this? Love your channel.

Hey mate, so unfortunately soundstaging is more or less a strictly stereo experience. But with the bad news out of the way, any set of headphones driven by a mono device, be it a phone, computer, or DAC can still sound beautiful. The high-ends and sound signature on these bad boys would still be just as sparkly.

I kind of really want to try these now because of the video and I love the way that you make these videos by the way and it's just dug to see another nerd geek out too lol

Yep the multiple videos where dank gives these headphones a glorious review convinced me to purchase some and give them a whirl

it's 4am in the morning, I haven't got any sleep and I just want to make sure if I'm seeing it right double dankpods upload?!!?!

When he was describing the really bad low end headphones , I thought he was talking about raycons

I was looking for headphones (that weren’t cheap crap) since I make music and listen to music, and I was set on getting some sennheisers or something like that, but then you came out with this video. I went and got the Grado sr80e’s and I love them. My only real issue is how my right ear starts to hurt a lot after long listening sessions so I will need to fix that little problem, but otherwise your statement “They sang to me” is accurate to me too. Right now I am looking at getting some Meze 99s since I tried them at the place I got them and they sounded very nice too. Thanks for introducing me to this wonderful world of headphones.

I bought the 60e secondhand a year ago (after watching this video of course), and it was such an amazing experience using it. I don't usually like on-ear headphone but because I use it at home, sitting down, it's just so comfortable because it's light and you can adjust the headband clamp force. It sounded "light" as well, that it's not too bassy and sparkly, but still quite flat, my ears are just ready to listen to anything I'd be listening to. And then just last month I found a pair of secondhand 80e's which are even cheaper than my 60e's (well it doesn't come in its original box and no 3.5mm to 6.5mm adaptor, minor details) and immediately bought it, and give the 60e to my sister. After a month using it, I think the 80e has "fuller" sound than the 60e. That is, it covers the low end more. Not louder, but more extensive.

Finally got a pair after watching this video (the SR80's) and this video almost doesn't do them justice. It's amazing how much detail you can hear. Every instrument, every breath, every movement of the fingers along the frets, YOU CAN HEAR IT ALL. It's honestly transformed the way I listen to music and I dont think I can go back.

welcome, yeah they are and yeah you cant

“and this was recorded by me; an idiot”😂

I just picked up my SR60x'es and I am totally blown away by the stage (I FOUND THE BONGO MAN, MATE!). I went to an audio salon and compared between to 80's and 60's, and honestly, for my personal taste the 60's were a better pick. Currently I just refuse to take them off as I am rediscovering music by knowing where every musician stands. Big thank you for this video, I wouldn't have known where to start without it. The value for the price ratio is absolutely off the charts with these

i just got these for christmas and i love them!!! the sound stage is amzinging and the sound is so detailed!!

Yes

You’ve turned me into an audiophile, I originally want to save up for Meza 90 classic, but GOD I want experience the grado’s so I caved and got the SR 80 as I think that’d be the highest I’d get money wise. (for a reference point for about 2 years have been using dry “gaming” headphones(literally no bass, or high end), and some Bose wireless headphones (the wires for it takes a balance output and I can’t find a good pair of the wires for the life of me)) Also I LOVE your channel, I always eagerly wait for the next week to roll around for what you have in store for the next vid and I’ve repeatedly watched all your videos till the end several times! Can’t wait to see what audio related thing you do next man!

''so many grains of salt you'll get sodium poisoning'' instant sub! love this dude. small edit'': my man, try the Philips SHP9500.

I bought a pair of sr80s for work to replace my dead-yet-beloved folding Sennheisers. I honestly love how absurdly open they are because it encourages me to lower the volume a little bit and yes, I can hear you trying to get my attention through them.

Old style headphones still work well. My friend's set from the 80s still work without any issues. I also had a Grado and it didn't deteriorate in function after 2 decades. My only issue is the earpads are terrible, extremely uncomfortable. I had to replace them with something with more padding a few times over the years. But that's about it.

I love how he puts the asterisks, but you can really tell the difference

Thanks for uploading two videos this week! Definitely needed them!

Bought the 60's a couple of weeks ago, and they are fantastic! While playing PS4 I sometimes forget they are on my head, as the sound is so immersive. Great buy, thanks for the recommendation, Dank!

I got these 6 months ago, after two months the audio cut out in the left driver, however I got a replacement and since then I have had no trouble with them. They sound amazing.

literally your videos are what I'm using for breaks in my study. Love ya dude!

I watched so many of these vids I just know when the switch in the headphone example

I've been looking at these headphones for a while now (it was between the AT-M40xs and the Grados) and this video made me pull the trigger and buy the SR-80es. The M40xs are my only set of over-ear headphones so I am extremely excited to have something so different! THANK YOU YOUR ROYAL DANKNESS

I've been using the sr60i from 2014 and recently modded them to a single cable to wear around. Main at home is a 58x but honestly not much of a difference between the two. Love the vid, and when i paired my grados with an amp for the first time, I was just blown away!

I come for the funny jokes and stay for the frank at the end

Today on dank is draining my bank account First 2 iPods Now theses

8:09 "Im not done." *Billy Mays is that you?*

I decided to get these as my first set of personal headphones after watching your videos. I'm absolutely delighted-- i'm an earbuds person usually because headphones have made make my head hurt in the past, but these are so seamless and amazing!
