A couple of months ago, Possible Worlds came to Brooklyn to spend some time with us at Grado.

The finished video takes a look at three very different American audio manufacturers — Grado, VPI and Schiit — each with our own history and our own way of doing things.

The full video has only been up a few days and I've really enjoyed reading the comments and seeing the response.
This is a short preview. The full video is at the link in our bio.

A Best in Show for the S550 at CanJam SoCal 2026.

Thank you to the ecoustics team for recognizing the S550 — and to everyone who has stopped by to listen this weekend.

The S550 has been getting plenty of listening time with the Chord Hugo 2, and we’re pretty happy to be bringing this mug back to Brooklyn.

The best headphones don’t just reproduce music. They bring the performance to life.

The GS3000 combines the detail and clarity you want to hear with the energy and emotion that make you want to keep listening.

Because refinement shouldn’t come at the expense of the music. by @gradolabs

Day 1 at CanJam SoCal.

We’re here, the headphones are ready, and the music is playing.

If you’re at the show, come spend some time with us in the Santa Clara Room.

“I'd never heard a Grado.”

That's where Taps Das started before spending time with the Signature S550.

He listened, formed his own opinion, and shared his experience.

If you're heading to CanJam SoCal this weekend, you'll have the opportunity to do the same — come hear the S550 for yourself.

You've heard of Grado. Now hear Grado.

Sometimes the people listening to our headphones say it better than we ever could.

The SR80 has introduced a lot of people to Grado over the years. The goal has always been pretty simple — make a headphone that makes you want to keep listening to the music. by @gradolabs

Sometimes the best listening sessions are the ones where you forget what you’re listening through.

No analyzing. No thinking about the equipment. Just you and the music.

That’s what we want from the Grado Signature S950. by @gradolabs

The Hemp has always been a little different.

Different material. Different look. And a sound that has earned it a pretty devoted following.

But like every headphone we make, the point is simple: put on the music you love and enjoy listening. by @gradolabs

A headphone can be fast, detailed and dynamic.

But those qualities only matter if they make you want to keep listening.

That’s what we want from the Grado Signature S750 — not just impressive sound, but music you don’t want to turn off. by @gradolabs

There are a lot of ways to describe what a headphone sounds like.

Detailed. Absorbing. Compelling.

But what really matters is what happens when you stop thinking about the headphone and start listening to the music.

That’s what the Grado GS1000 is built to do. by @gradolabs

The details matter. The materials matter. The way a headphone is tuned matters.

But they all have the same job — to make listening to the music more enjoyable.

That’s what the Grado SR325 is built around. by @gradolabs
