agreed: "simple build is easy to fix yourself, won't break in weird ways"
agreed: "lightweight"

"As a previous owner of Grado SR60, I found this new SR80i better than SR60! Like SR60, SR80i has the unique and sweet Grado taste that features very clear high and mid ranges. It's bass is just enough; certain headphones have bass that is just way too distorted and unnatural. I strongly recommend anyone who love classic, jazz, and other similar types of music to buy it. It's an incredible bargain!"
