the lab review

LAB POINTS
- top of the line audiophole headphone from legendary Brooklyn company
- Grado's self-proclaimed "finest headphone ever", multiple award winner
- ridiculous frequency response
- hybrid construction of hand-crafted mahogany and hard alloy metal results in the purest sound
- designed for maximum comfort

From the Grado site - "The PS1000's are the very best Grado headphone ever made." That is quite a statement, especially from Grado, a company renowned for their top notch headphones. Obviously the PS1000's are for serious audiophiles (the $1695 price tag should have clued you in) that demand the best in every aspect of sonic detailing. The thing that makes these headphones so special is the hybrid metal/wooden construction that incorporates the tone and timbre of the RS1's, while maintaining the superior Grado mid-range and a resonance reduced decay. The PS1000's also feature large cushions as providing a very comfortable fit on the head, great for very long listening sessions, and also create large sound and headstage. If you are serious about sound and want the best, this is it. Recommended.
