MORE: Read about all the 2013 Award winners on the What Hi-Fi? Awards microsite:
Most headphones use a closed-back design to minimise sound leakage which keeps you from inflicting your musical taste on those around you.
Grado has taken a different approach, by making open-backed headphones that leak sound like there's no tomorrow but which, as a result, sound sublime to the person wearing them.
For home listening where it won't bother any significant other, the SR80is are simply a stupendous buy for £135. If you can live with the looks, these Award-winners will give you hour after hour of sonic satisfaction.
