Grado Headphones | For Unbeatable Sound Quality

January 4, 2008

If you are like me, you spend a lot of time listening to music via headphones. Unfortunately, you typically surrender some degree of sound quality for the convenience and portability of headphones. Yeah, you can get a pair of Bose headphones. But, quite frankly, nothing beats Grado headphones for sound quality.

Grado Labs, Inc. is world-renowned for their remarkable headphone designs and has for almost half a century been the leaders in design engineering for the high-end audio and recording industries.

According to Grado, their headphones can reproduce as natural a soundstage from stereo recordings and provide as much listening pleasure as a good pair of speakers do. Grado also claims their headphones are free of room effects and placement problems, minimize any interference from external noise, offer portability and the ability to listen without worrying about the neighbors. Furthermore, Grado headphones are the antithesis of mass production, as each Grado headphone is hand-assembled.

As for aesthetics, well I personally can get down with the old-school look. Even the wood housing on the GS1000. However, if you want a more modern or trendy look to go with your iPod, there is the iGrado.
