Grado
GS1000 Headphones
Grado is the go-to brand for top quality, audiophile headphones. The Brooklyn based company has been crafting headphones for years with much praise, but the GS1000 takes the Grado sound to a whole new level. This is the new top of the line flagship model (previously the RS-1 model) with a redesigned look for the new millennium.
The GS1000 updates the retro look (though these still have a very retro feel) of previous Grado's with more contemporary styled, hand-crafted mahogany earcups and much larger foam earpads. The redesigned driver and better ear placement (due to bigger earpads) creates a "room" for the ears to sit, creating a larger soundstage and greater spatial experience for the listener. The headband is covered in real leather as well for a vast improvement (the best?) in looks, performance and comfort.
From the Grado site - "The GS1000 retains a sound that is pure Grado, rich full-bodied vocals, excellent dynamics and an ultra smooth top end. The presentation is very detailed, the bass is deep and the music is very tight and non-fatiguing. All with a soundstage that is huge allowing for unbelievable separation and layering of the music which is simply stunning."
These headphones have one numerous top awards from Hi-Fi Choice magazine, T3Home magazine UK, PFO, and more. Recommended.
