Title: Very nice headphones
Review: I've seen an abundance of highly technical reviews of the Grado SR80 headphones so I'll try to keep this short and simple. I like them. One complaint I did want to touch on that's often repeated about these headphones is that they are uncomfortable to wear. To this I say I've been wearing over-the-ear headphones off and on for about 25 years and some of them were far more uncomfortable than the SR80. With the SR80's the weight is reasonably low, there's no vinyl skin covering the foam ear pads that gets hot and uncomfortable (not to mention sweaty) with extended wear, and the headband doesn't try to apply so much pressure around your ears that it feels like they are trying to crush your skull. If you get the SR80 just be aware that the foam ear pads are on the rigid hard side, but if you find this isn't to your liking you can buy some inexpensive softer replacement foam ear pads if you want the additional comfort.
Is the review positive or negative?
