Grado Classic GS3000

A Spacious Soundstage Journey inside the music and hear the space between instruments with the unique soundstage of the GS3000x. This is only possible when our large cushions, new 52mm driver, 12-conductor cable, and large housing work in unison. This is the most detail a Grado headphone has ever delivered from your music to your ears.   Immerse yourself in finely handcrafted cocobolo earcups, uniquely matched for both finish and sound. Paired with a metal chamber to control the largest Grado driver yet. The new 52mm X Driver, finely tuned for cocobolo and precision metal, enhances efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves harmonic integrity. Not just an auditory delight, the GS3000x boasts redesigned cables and a durable exterior, housing a super annealed copper 12-conductor cable for optimal sonic integrity. The black leather headband, featuring Grado’s signature metal gimbals and large “G” foam cushions, adds comfort to style. Despite the cocobolo and metal’s density, these headphones sit lightly on your head, offering a comfortable listening experience. The GS3000x reveals its exceptional efficiency and dynamic range across various sources; whether enjoying classical piano duets, rock tracks, or Broadway the GS3000x delivers a musical, mellow, and detailed sound. These headphones excel in spatial representation and dynamics. Switching to different sources, from a high-end tube amp to a portable DAP or a smartphone, the GS3000x maintains its musicality. Grado’s decades-long reputation for audiophile-quality dynamic headphones is affirmed with the GS3000x, standing tall against planar headphones. Light and easy to drive, they excel in various settings, offering an affordable and versatile solution for audiophiles on the go or in their libraries. The GS3000x is the reference dynamic headphone you’ve been waiting for, delivering exceptional sound and comfort.   Sound of Wood & Metal Teeming with texture and emotion, cocobolo’s sonic properties and innate mass makes it perfect for our new speakers. We paired this with a metal chamber to add even more mass, which lets us control the rigidity of our largest driver yet. Cocobolo has striking patterns and color that tend to vary from pair to pair. Features 52mm driver Cocobolo wood housing Hybrid metal chamber G-Cushions White stitched leather headband De-stressed driver Drivers matched .05db Durable 12-conductor cable Hand assembled in Brooklyn   The Most Powerful Yet The GS3000x is the first headphone to utilize our new 52mm X Driver. Specifically tuned to embrace the tenacity of cocobolo and precision of metal, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for our first 52mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music. New Cable & Headbands Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the GS3000x. Housed in a more durable exterior, the now super annealed copper 12-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent. Hand Assembled in Brooklyn Founded on a kitchen table in 1953, and working with wood for over a quarter century, Grado Labs has been perfecting the art of sonic reproduction every day since. This GS3000x has traveled from workbench to workbench until ready for your ears. Every experience since that kitchen table has led to the creation of the GS3000x.
