Headphones

Since 1953, Grado has approached audio with a simple belief: great sound comes from careful listening, thoughtful engineering, and respect for the music itself. While our earliest work began outside of headphones, that same philosophy has guided every Grado design for decades.

Our headphones are developed through a collaborative, hands-on process, refined over time by a small, dedicated team. Each model reflects a balance of experience, experimentation, and real-world listening—focused not on trends, but on long-term musical enjoyment.

 

From design decisions to final assembly, we remain closely involved at every stage of the process, ensuring each headphone meets the standards we’ve built our reputation on. All wired Grado headphones are assembled in our Brooklyn location, reflecting a long-standing commitment to hands-on craftsmanship and internal controls at every stage.

Today, our headphone lineup is organized into distinct families and formats, each representing a different approach to sound, design, and how listeners engage with their music. All are united by the same commitment to musicality, craftsmanship, and listening connection.

Signature

The Signature Line represents a new direction within Grado’s headphone lineup, where considered advances in design, construction, and usability are first realized. Grounded in the principles that shaped our earliest headphone work, it reflects a careful balance between continuity and progress.

Classic

For decades the Classic Series has represented the foundation of the Grado lineup — headphones built around an open-back philosophy that prioritizes musical engagement, clarity, and connection to the recording.

Wireless

At Grado, our approach to wireless begins with the same priorities that guide our wired designs: musicality, balance, and long-term listening enjoyment.
