  • Grado Labs has been designing, manufacturing and distributing some of the industry’s most renowned headphones from a modest Brooklyn townhouse since 1953. Spanning three generations, the Grado Family does not advertise or sell at big sellers like Best Buy. Rather, their booming business grew from innovation, quality, and word of mouth; and still today, the Grado’s wouldn’t have it any other way. Ashley gets into the groove with a lesson in building a pair of Grado headphones in the family’s Brooklyn lab.

    Grado headphones are amazing, and in terms of sound rank among others that cost many times as much. I really respect a company that keeps a fair price even after their product has turned into a trendy hipster item. As another commenter pointed out, you can get Grado phones for less than $100, and they will sound absolutely amazing and are built to last.
    My first Grados were an SR 80, for around $130 at the time. Their sound killed the $300 cans I had before, and 6 years later they still hold up and sound like the day I got them.

      IntoxicCH I still own my original Grados from 94, they are masterpieces. Replaced the cups at least 7 times. I own several now. Just the best, most "natural" cans in the world.

    John looked puzzled when she said "that bass" cuz that is certainly not what Grados are known for.

    You can get the Grado 60s for only $79. They sound fantastic and the cord is virtually indestructible. They last forever.

      I've sent my SR60i in for repair. But it's worth noting they charge a flat $20 to fix them out of warranty which is commendable. One of the rods that connect to the earcup came out.

    I love the tradition and emphasis on sound quality. The top end Grados do feel like heritage headphones you can hand down to future generations. They have a beautiful history. I felt the presenter was great. You get to see her fun and cute personality.
