Open-Back Design

Headphones with an open-back design, allow air to pass through the earcups. This means that Open-Backs do not block any noise from around you, as closed-backs do, and music being heard will also leak outside to people around you. So they can only be heard in a quiet environment.


However, Open-back headphones do sound more natural and open. Open-back headphones create a feeling of space, presenting audio as if you are sitting at a live concert. Audiophiles swear by open-back headphones, and they sound quite different to closed-backs.


These headphones are perfect for critical listening sessions, mixing and mastering music. They have an accurate soundstage presentation and precise imaging.


Works with Android & iOS

One thing all of our phones have in common is that they have replaced the portable media player. These headphones and devices are perfect to pair with your Android and iOS devices and offer functionality previously unknown. If you’re someone who usually switches between a variety of devices with different OS, then these are suited for you. You can expect these headphones and devices to connect seamlessly without any hassle and even offer OS-specific functionality depending on the device. Headphones and devices designed to work with Android and iOS come in wired and wireless formats. Quite often you will also find Hi-Fi equipment offering direct connectivity to devices with Android and iOS to simplify the connectivity process.


Many headphones ride the hype train, but few manage to live up to the buildup like the Grado SR80x. Their signature sound is immersive and once you hear these headphones it’ll be hard to go back. The SR80x earns its historically positive reputation and feels like a headphone that will continue its reign for years.

Over performer in this price tag

So im coming from hd600&700 and was looking for something easy to drive yet with good detailing can. Headphonezone suggested me el8, isine10 since both of these were out of my budget for now i took a chance with grado sr125e. Unfortunately this was unavailable so the sr225&325. Only sr80e was in stock so I downgraded to this. And thanks headphonezone for the prompt reply and arrangement of the shipping as well as the refund. Coming to this can im fortunate enough to use various headphones and this tiny light weight can this grado is my best buy till date. Brilliant detailing brilliant highs and mids. Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you headphonezone. Lastly one message to headphonezone please make grados more available so tht one doesn't have to downgrade .

Good Headphones. Price is too high. (Costs $99 in US)

Sounds good. They (Headphone Zone) should decrease the price. The free earpads are not good.

Nice sounding, but not worth it

These headphones sound good. They have a wide soundstage. They are a little bright, so the vocals shine but all this can't make up for the fact that they are poorly built. I got fatigued after wearing them only for an hour. I expect a better build quality from headphones at this price point, hence 3 star

I did't expect it

This is my first pair of "expensive" "audiophile" "open back" headphones. The very first time I heard music on this I knew I will never use any of the old headphones again. The sound stage is just so rich! Possibly my benchmarks are not really the best. But I can say that these sound incredible. Listening to classical music and live music on these pretty much give you a feel of being there. Watched a few movies, again lovely rich sound. Since it doesn't isolate you from the environment you are in, it completely changes the experience.
Not necessarily the best for people who love a lot of bass.

Hey there, we're really glad to know that you loved the product so much. Thank you for such an amazing and a detailed review, you're awesome!

Amazing Grados headphones and Enjoyable purchase experience.

I have multiple number of premier headphones of various international brands. Bose, Sony, Seneisser, Beats, Denon, Marshall and so on. For the first time I discovered the value of a open back design which takes listening pleasure to a new level. I am only an audio enthusiast and not a connoisseur audiophile. Yet I was able to discover unique blend & the incredible difference in bass, mid range & top instrumentation and vocal histrionics of the orchestra. I particularly love the way Headphone Zone is making the purchase process a very enjoyable experience with hands on customer education & service. The range, variety, brand spread, pricing, home audition opportunities, friendly communication make this specialist retailer a rare breed in a crowded online market. It is almost like dealing with a friendly person in an internationally reputed showroom. Great keep it up
