You Can See Yourself In These Headphones.

By using tone-wood clad with metal alloy weve obliterated two of the most vexing issues in headphone design: ringing in the chamber, and transient distortion. This gives audio professionals the security of consistent response throughout the frequency range. Did we mention they look awesome? You could pay more for headphones, but you cant afford anything less.

"..the Grado PS1000 doesn't have few peers - it has none at least none that I've ever heard in my home, other audiophile's homes, in audio salons, or in professional recording studios." -Tom Lyle, Enjoy the Music

This hybrid design has an inner sleeve of hand-crafted mahogany made by using the new series 'e' curing process. Its outer housing, machined from aluminum then chrome-plated, 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 virtually unaffected by transient distortions. Grado has also designed the cable for the PS1000e; the twelve-conductor cable design uses UHPLC (Ultra-High Purity, Long Crystal) copper, improves control and stability of the total range of the frequency spectrum. The PS1000e also has a new 50mm driver and a newly re-configured voice coil and diaphragm design, resulting in unsurpassed speed and accuracy responses.

The cushion design creates the correct balance between the driver and housing to support the desired musicality. The cushion design also makes the PS1000e one of the most comfortable headphones in the world. Grado has taken all of their knowledge and over 60 years of experience in controlling resonances and eliminating distortions, and put them into their finest headphone ever, the PS1000e. Grado is unbelievably proud of this flagship product listen and enjoy.

"The PS1000's are the very best Grado headphone ever made...The PS1000's are finally the first set of headphones that would motivate me to sell all the rest, because these PS1000s do it all and do it as flawlessly as I've yet experienced. They give me everything that I've been searching for in headphones and do it in such a way that I can honestly say I'm not hoping for anything more....I've stopped looking. I've stopped thinking that a single phone can't do it all. Hyperbole be damned, this phone had me at hello." -Jason Morin, head-fi.org

"With super comfortable ergonomics, definition to die for, supreme neutrality, and ultra linear frequency response, the top of the line Grado PS 1000 headphones are the best I have heard to date...The new Grado PS 1000 Headphones deserve my highest recommendation." -Robert H. Levi, Positive Feedback Issue 51

"...the best Grado headphones ever made." -Steve Guttenberg, CNET
