The Sound Of Wood

Grado has been working with mahogany longer than any other wood, its a skill weve been honing for generations. The materiality of the GS1000x goes even further now that weve paired it with ip 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 acts as a sturdy base for the any sound passing through its grain.

When you first lay eyes on the Grado GS1000x Statement, they may seem like another pair of classic over-ear headphones from Grado. However, these are more than meets the eye. Grados commitment to continuous improvement is evident in every detail. Notably, the GS1000x introduces ip, a durable tropical wood, alongside Grados beloved mahogany, enhancing sonic solidity and robustness in the driver housing.

Under the hood, the GS1000x boasts the latest X dynamic drivers, designed to leverage the warmth of mahogany. The 50mm drivers feature a more potent magnetic circuit, a lower-mass voice coil, and a reworked diaphragm for heightened efficiency and reduced distortion. The redesign extends to the headband and cables, featuring a 12-conductor super-annealed copper cable and a minimally padded, leather-covered headband with elegant white stitching.

Delivering a vivid, detailed sound, the GS1000x captivates with its compelling and absorbing performance. Grados focus on construction over flashy design is evident in the GS1000x. While the materials are top-notch, the emphasis is on positioning the drivers over the ears. Weighing less than 400g, they provide comfort for extended listening sessions. As open-backed headphones, theyre best enjoyed in solitude where they reward you with a sonic experience that lingers.

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 GS1000x headphone is hand-built by our team in Brooklyn – these headphones go from workbench to workbench until theyre ready for your ears. We started building on a kitchen table in 1953, and every experience since then has led to the GS1000x.
