Grado SR80e Prestige Series Headphones

Q: What are the drivers themselves made out of? Like what's the casing material?

The drivers themselves have a metal casing and are about the diameter of a dime. They are securely center mounted into the plastic ear pieces. I don't know what kind of plastic, but it is very durable. I have dropped my phones many times over the years from a height of around 4' and no damage. They not only sound great but take a good beating. I dropped my $300 Sennheisers twice and there is a small crack on each side of the head piece. I am not suggesting that you should be careless and drop your phones, but the Grados last for years and sound great. I have bought 6 pair of the SR60 and 3 pair of the SR80. I keep some at home, at my studio and I have given some away as they make great stocking stuffers. I also gave a pair to my wife because I love her and because the Grados sound great and don't feel like my head has been in a vice when they are on. My wife would have preferred jewelery or an iPod. I was resentful at her so I took them back and kept them... but 2 years later I bought her another pair of SR80. Our marriage is ok.

Q: How do these differ from the discontinued SR80i headphones?

Dear Kevin:I got the new SR80E 3 weeks ago. I think SR80E has deeper bass, clearer treble,higher resolution, more sensitive than SR80i, but I get the sense that SR80i as a whole is more suitable for listening to rock and roll and jazz than SR80E because SR80i has better bass dynamic response and comfortalbe treble, the treble of SR80E seems a little bit noisy. Maybe SR80E is omnivorous and suitable for all kinds of music omnivorous. That's my opinion. Thank you!

Q: Do these fit on large heads?

Absolutely! These headphones are great on so many levels and the fact that they fit the full spectrum of head sizes puts them over the top! I wear a 7-5/8 hat and my 10 y/o daughter could use them with no problems!

Q: Do these make your ears hurt? I currently own a a pair of Urban Ear on ear headphones that make my ears ache after about an hour of continuous use.

They don't make my ears hurt at all, even after two hours. They are well padded and light weight.
