iGi In Ear NEW!

"The iGi became a reality because of an urging by my sons Jonathan and Matthew. They realized the need to
offer our customers a Grado in-ear headphone. Jonathan and Matthew were instrumental in the process of voicing this great ear phone.

Family is a true source of inspiration." John Grado

This little iGi played some rock., That little iGi played some Bach. Whenever a little iGi plays there’s a smile that pops!

When Grado Labs sets out to design a new product, the most important goal is to be faithful to the music so that the listener’s experience truly results in a smile. This sensitivity is the soul of the iGi.
Grado Labs has invested countless hours of design engineering and listening tests to bring to you a fantastic and affordable in-ear headphone.
We invite you to replace the earbuds that came with your portable music player. You will find a refreshing new window into your music.
Happy Listening!

PS 1000
Proffesional Headphones

Grado is proud to introduce the new flagship of their headphone line, the PS1000. This hybrid design has an inner sleeve of a selected species of hand-crafted mahogany made by using an intricate curing process. Its outer housing of metal machined from a special non-resonant, very hard metal alloy utilizes a special processing and casting method to increase the porosity of the alloy.

This combination of wood and metal insures that the earphone chamber has no "ringing" which might obscure detail or add coloration. The way the wood and metal housing moves air and reacts to sound vibrations is now virtually unaffected by transient distortions. Grado has also designed a new cable for the PS1000. The new eight-conductor cable design, utilizing UHPLC (ultra-high purity, long crystal) copper, improves control and stability of the total range of the frequency spectrum. The PS1000 also utilizes a newly re-configured voice coil and diaphragm design, resulting in unsurpassed speed and accuracy response. The cushion design creates the correct balance between the driver and hybrid housing to give the resulting musicality desired. The cushion design also makes the PS1000 one of the most comfortable to wear headphones in the world. Grado has taken all their knowledge and years of experience in controlling resonances and eliminating distortions and this has culminated in the development of their finest headphone ever, the PS1000.

Phono Stages

The Phono Stage PH1
Our new Grado Phono Preamp, model PH-1, represents the most successful solution to one of the most complex technical challenges in the field of audio that Grado Labs has ever tackled. It can be compared to the undertaking of designing our highly acclaimed phono cartridges, headphones and our world renowned RA-1 headphone amplifier over the past several years. Our design goals were for a truly superb sounding phono preamp to work equally well with both low and high output cartridges with negligible noise. We wanted a phono preamp with ultra wide band pass, high overload, virtually perfect RIAA amplitude and phase coherency, and very low output impedance. This was the challenge set forth! This we have accomplished!
