  • Brooklyn’s family-run audiophile favorites Grado Labs is not a company to blindly follow the latest trends, focusing instead on consistently delivering top-notch sound.
  • The speaker design benefits from a more powerful magnetic circuit, the effective mass of the voice coil has been lowered and the diaphragm reconfigured, and the drivers for the open-backed flagship have been “specifically tuned to embrace the tenacity of cocobolo and precision of metal.”
  • The GS1000x headphones feature matched 50-mm X Drivers, again tuned for the specific woods employed in the design, and offer a frequency response of 8 Hz to 35 kHz and the same 99.8-dB sensitivity.
