Grado Headphone For Gaming

I am a Grado headphone addict. I need and demand the best sound production. I have never liked noise cancelling headphones. I considered them gimmicky. I own the Bose older 15’s. The sound was hollow and the noise cancellation technology hurst my ears. So I abandoned trying any others for four years. In anticipation of traveling, I overcame my reluctance with NC headphones after internet reviews, and sampled the new Bose 700 at their store. Overwhelming treble. Ouch! But better (not great) telephone call sound. Did not buy. Tried these from B & H. Wow! What makes these truly worth it: technology is subordinate to sound. Noise cancellation takes a back seat to sound production. I need the best sound. That’s why at home I listen with Grado cans. I refused to believe the overwhelmingly positive reviews of these Sonys until I tried them over two recent flights on a plane. The newest NC technology with Sony is a game changer. No ear pain! You can easily adjust the degree of noise cancellation with their iPhone app. You’ve got to see the options in that app. Customization of NC, sound equalizer and sound reference options! Now I know why Sony is cornering the NC headphone market. Terrific. Highly recommended. Don’t believe this review. Try it.

What's really mesmerizing to me is the fact that Grado is a family business that runs for so many decades. SR80 itself doesn't feel cheap, or carelessly built. Just don't expect any premium feeling you get from other companies. This headphone sounds beautiful and natural. Clear high, solid but not crazy heavy bass and fair midrange performance. I would like the cable to be lighter in weight cause sometimes I feel the headphone dragging down by the super thick and secure cables. 9.5/10 for this product.

My first headphone amp purchase; purchased for use with Grado 225i paired with Bluetooth + iPhone. The 225i doesn't require much power to being with, but even I, not being an especially adroit at HiFi tech, easily discerned enhanced performance with the FiiO. Ordering online with B&H was easy and delivery was on time. Solid experience!

Gaming Soundstage is phenomenal. Seen reviews about the weight and to be honest I don't notice them. I do recommend doing a fine tune with the equalizer as the stock setting does lack a little. The battery life is amazing it last me weeks of gaming/music. The bass is great for a gaming headphone. Buy it, you won't regret it. I will forever be a planar magnetic headphone guy from now on, does not even compare to standard driver headphone.

Grado is as good as it gets at this price, and the 80e is another winner.

Purchased for daughter for homeschool and gaming. Sounds better than the previous pair. The previous headphone cable broke. We bought this in the hope it lasts longer. The cable is definitely thicker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Started using the headphone for gaming about 10days ago. They work so well, that I started using them for conference calls as well! Amazing sound, ease of use, and volume control. No distortion in the audio, just all around another great product from and by JBL!

This is the perfect headphone for both gaming and hearing other things going on around me. The price is right, the sound is amazing, Sorry I didn’t buy these sooner.

I have many high-end cans and these surpass everything. My go-to's were Grado RS-1's

My purchase of these headphones was greatly influenced by Consumer Reports * rating (86/100) of the Grado Prestige SR80i headphones now discontinued by the manufacturer. These SR80e are the best sounding headphones I have ever owned! They offer exceptional value for the price ($99)! I use them primarily to listen to my music library on iTunes or to my music cds. I presently own an apple iPhone 5s smartphone. I have an apple macbook pro; a yamaha cdc-697 natural sound compact disc player; an apple tv; a yamaha RX-V567 natural sound av receiver; a samsung P51F8500 smart tv and Definitive Technology Pro Cinema home theatre speaker system all connected in one room. In another room there is an apple iMac connected to a Logitech Z623 speaker system. My music library is mainly jazz and classical with some r&b and pop. The Grado Prestige SR 80e headphones handled all with consummate ease. I can't imagine what I might not be hearing but the only headphones rated higher by CR (91/100) are the Grado Prestige SR 325e at $$. Not yet thank you.
