Full Description
View Full DescriptionMasters of Mahogany
From skilfully working with Mahogany for so long, Grado has become a master of the art. However, in a first for the brand, the GS1000X headphones combine Mahogany with Ipê; a tropical wood featuring a similar warm, earthy tone and good durability. Pairing these woods is not only pleasing from a visual perspective but also sonically. While Mahogany offers warmth to the sound, ipê grounds and controls sound as it passes through the wooden grains.
X Series Drivers
The GS1000X features new, larger 50mm ‘X’ speaker drivers which draw out warmth from the mahogany surround. This newly designed X driver makes its full-bodied headphone debut in the GS1000X showcasing improved magnetic circuitry, a lighter voice coil, and redesigned diaphragm. With such improvements in power, mass, and harmonic integrity, the GS1000X offers a highly efficient and sonically characterful listening experience.
New, Improved Design
Since 1953 Grado has hand-assembled headphones, making sure every pair is worthy of your ears. When John Grado assembled his first pair of wooden headphones in 1994, the material became integral to the company, which has worked with wood ever since. Today, out of Brooklyn, New York, the same love for hand assembly and woodwork sets the company apart from its competitors. These GS1000X headphones, while a great improvement upon their predecessors, retain the ethos and authenticity of the brand’s previous accomplishments.
