$295SR325x Prestige Series Open-Back Headphones
The top of the Prestige Series, the SR325x swaps the polycarbonate housing for an aluminum body that controls resonance and delivers Grado's most resolving Prestige-tier sound. Hand-assembled in Brooklyn with the latest 44mm X Series drivers, it occupies the sweet spot between Grado's entry and Reference lines and is often cited as a giant-killer in its price class.
$175SR125x Prestige Series Open-Back Headphones
Stepping up from the SR80x, the SR125x uses the same 44mm X Series drivers tuned to a wider frequency response, with improved imaging and a blacker background. Hand-assembled in Brooklyn and featuring Grado's 4-conductor wide-bandwidth cable, it bridges the gap between the entry Prestige models and the higher Reference tier.
$125SR80x Prestige Series Open-Back Headphones
The SR80x has been one of the most recommended entry audiophile headphones for decades, and the X Series refresh makes it better still. Grado's 4th-generation drivers are tuned here for tighter bass and cleaner transient response, all hand-assembled in Brooklyn and wearing the brand's signature open-back polycarbonate housing.
$99SR60x Prestige Series Open-Back Headphones
Grado's entry-level flagship — the SR60x delivers the iconic Grado open-back sound at its most accessible price. Built around 4th-generation 44mm X Series drivers and hand-assembled in Brooklyn, it offers wide soundstage, warm mids, and lively highs that embarrass headphones costing twice as much.
