What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Alessandro Grado MS1 Headphones

The unit is light enough and with sufficient give in the headband’s tension that I’ve never felt uncomfortable wearing them.
These are a good set of headphones. Light but sturdy. They feel well made.
The headband is basic, but it does adjust well enough and they're so light I didn't find it uncomfortable.
Have used Grado phones for years - excellent response, reasonably lightweight and comfortable.
The structure of these headphones is sturdy and it doesn't feel cheap at all. They are quite light. It should last long I believe.

Grado SR80e Prestige Series Open Backed Headphone

I actually find them to be more comfortable than most I've tried.
So to sum up, I love these! Beautifully presented, comfortable, and very impressive.
I've only had them a short while but the build feels good and i dont see any obvious signs that they are likely to fall apart any time soon.
Have used Grado phones for years - excellent response, reasonably lightweight and comfortable
"I like the looks, the size can be easily adjusted, and it stays in place "

What customers say about "Features"

Alessandro Grado MS1 Headphones

The sound is very quiet, and crackles heavily sometimes cutting out entirely.
These headphones are fantastic. Put them over your ears and close your eyes! What an experience!
The sound is bright and crisp, with incredible detail. You hear things that you previously didn't appreciate in music, thats my experience anyway.
These headphones are highly rated on audiophiles forum, and that's the reason why I've bought them.
These have very quickly become my favourite headphones. Comfortable, sound great and great value.

Grado SR80e Prestige Series Open Backed Headphone

I personally love the function first approach. What you can't fail to be blown away by is the sound quality.
The soundstage and presence it uncanny, just like cleaning your windows to the sound. I was a bit reluctant to buy these because I have headphones for 3 times the price.
This is the sort of sound you expect from a high end speaker setup, not two little speakers that sit over your ears.
These continue to sound better with time. Amazing detail, accurate reproduction of recordings.
If you love audio, or you're someone that spends a lot of time listening to high quality music, you'll appreciate the sound that comes from these.
