Grado - GS1000x Statement Series (Open Box)

Two to Tango

Continuing over two decades of one of the most important headphone designs the now hybrid GS1000x reaches new heights when paired with X Drivers new cables and for the first time a combination of mahogany and ip¨º wood.

The Sound of Wood

Grado has been working with mahogany longer than any other wood it's a skill we've been honing for generations. The materiality of the GS1000x goes even further now that we've paired it with ip¨º wood a tropical and durable wood that pairs incredibly well with mahogany. This marriage elevates the signature sound of the GS1000x. Mahogany exudes warm tones while ip¨º acts as a sturdy base for the any sound passing through its grain.

A Spacious Soundstage

Journey inside the music and hear the space between instruments with the unique soundstage of the GS1000x. This is only possible when our large cushions 50mm driver 12-conductor cable and large housing work in unison.

X Series Drivers

The GS1000x is the first full-bodied headphone to take advantage of the larger 50mm X Drivers. Specifically tuned to bring forth the warmth mahogany produces this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit a voice coil with decreased effective mass and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for our 50mm drivers improve efficiency reduces distortion and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.

New Cable & Headbands

Along with the speakers the cables and headband have been redesigned for the GS1000x. Housed in a more durable exterior the now super annealed copper 12-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent.

Hand Assembled in Brooklyn

Our first wooden headphones were built in the middle of the night back in 1994 by John Grado. Wood has been a staple on our workbench ever since. Each RS1x headphone is hand-built by our team in Brooklyn - these headphones go from workbench to workbench until they're ready for your ears. We started building on a kitchen table in 1953 and every experience since then has led to the RS1x.
