Grado Labs


Joe Grado makes, in our opinion, the best-sounding line of headphones we've heard.  And he's carrying on a company founded by his uncle Joseph fifty years ago.  Grado Labs also makes our favorite inexpensive phono cartridges; they allow customers to experience the magic of vinyl in a cost-effective manner.

Whether through your portable player, or late at night on your home stereo, Grado headphones are comfortable, magical, and a great investment.  Grados range from less than a hundred dollars up to $1000 for the Grado GS 1000.  The Financial Times said the GS 1000s were the first technological product they've reviewed that made them weep with emotion.  And PC magazine recently called the GS 1000 the best headphone ever made.
