"Out of all the Grado’s I’ve tried, I think the GS1000e nails it the best. It just feels right. The bass is extremely articulate, detailed, accurate, and natural sounding. The music presents itself in such a raw, organic, and honest way, but I don’t feel like I’m laboring when I listen. It’s very much an enjoyable experience because you’re discovering new textures and layers that you previously never knew were there."
- Stuart Charles Black
Hand-crafted mahogany earpieces are cured in an intricate process that optimizes the tonal quality while giving these beautiful headphones a distinctive look. The GS1000e uses 50mm dynamic transducers and the new 12-conductor cable design. The wood, driver, and cable designs, result in tight control and stability of the upper and lower range of the frequency spectrum to support the GS1000e's world renowned midrange.
Grado's GS1000e cushion design creates a 'room' for the ears to sit, with a larger soundstage and greater spatial experience for the listener. It was most important to design the correct balance between the driver and the wooden driver housing to give the pure sound we crave.
The GS1000e retains a sound that is pure Grado, with warm harmonic colors, rich full-bodied vocals, excellent dynamics, and an ultra-smooth top end. The presentation is very detailed, the bass is deep, and the music is very tight while non-fatiguing. All with stunning separation and layering of the music.
