Grado Statement series GS3000x

A Spacious Soundstage

Journey inside the music and hear the space between instruments with the unique soundstage of the GS3000x. This is only possible when our large cushions new 52mm driver 12-conductor cable and large housing work in unison. This is the most detail a Grado headphone has ever delivered from your music to your ears.

Teeming with texture and emotion cocobolo’s sonic properties and innate mass makes it perfect for our new speakers. We paired this with a metal chamber to add even more mass which lets us control the rigidity of our largest driver yet. Cocobolo has striking patterns and color that tend to vary from pair to pair.

The GS3000x is the first headphone to utilize our new 52mm X Driver. Specifically tuned to embrace the tenacity of cocobolo and precision of metal this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit a voice coil with decreased effective mass and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for our first 52mm drivers improve efficiency reduces distortion and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.

Along with the speakers the cables and headband have been redesigned for the GS3000x. Housed in a more durable exterior the now super annealed copper 12-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent.

Founded on a kitchen table in 1953 and working with wood for over a quarter century Grado Labs has been perfecting the art of sonic reproduction every day since. This GS3000x has traveled from workbench to workbench until ready for your ears. Every experience since that kitchen table has led to the creation of the GS3000x.
