If you’re fortunate enough to get your hands on a pair of Grado’s open-back GW100x headphones, you’ll be greeted by a message on the box’s lid interior informing you that the company has been “family run for six decades in Brooklyn, New York”.
There’s something about Grado’s products that reflects this proud heritage from the heart of America’s most famous city. The headphones' design especially, with their no-frills presentation, chunky circular grills and smooth, black-leather headband, all reflect a product created by a family-run Brooklyn outfit. There are no gimmicks here, just a commitment to delivering really great sound.
