The best way to experience the Grado sound for the first time

Prestige Series

Ranging from entry level to one of our highest rated, this classic series is the best way to experience the Grado sound for the first time. This line has deep ties to the Grado family, including the first Grado headphone ever and the first metal pair, and embodies the six decades of Grado Labs audio experience.

Signature Series

Grado Labs founder Joseph Grado created what many consider to be the high-end headphone market with the release of the Signature HP1 headphone in the early 1990s. In recognition of Joseph Grado’s 100th birthday and this industry milestone, we are introducing the HP100 SE headphones.

Russell's Reserve Whiskey Barrel

Microsoft visited Grado with two goals: to listen to music and talk about a Made for Surface limited edition pair. From this idea came a very limited quantity of Grado headphones that were given by Microsoft to a select number of producers and composers around the world.

Fairfax Recordings Series

In 2014, owner of Fairfax Recordings in Sound City, Kevin Augunas, visited Grado for the first time. It turned out he loved using Grado at his studio, which included the recordings of The Lumineers, among other artists. We worked together and built them a Fairfax Recording Series Grado Headphone.

Thailand Anniversary

Built for the anniversary of the Thai distributor.

Bushmills Whiskey Barrel

In late 2012, Grado was approached by Bushmills to make a headphone out of their whiskey barrels. It's a challenge the Brooklyn company couldn't say no to. Of course, it wouldn't have been made if the White Oak's sonic properties weren't good enough. After prototyping, it was found it was doable. This project was also brought together with the help of Elijah Wood and Zach Cowie, Bushmills' spokespersons and huge audiophiles. The Whiskey Barrel headphones sold out in one day.
