Grado PS1000e Professional Series Headphones

At the top of the Grado tree are the beautiful PS1000e headphones which replace the multi-award-winning* and quite possibly one of the finest sounding headphones ever built the PS1000.

By building upon there already fantastic range and utilising tone-wood clad with metal alloy Grado have managed to eliminate two of the most common issues in headphone design: transient distortion & ringing in the chamber. This gives audio professionals the security of consistent response throughout the frequency range.

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 chrome-plated aluminium, utilises a special processing and casting method to increase the porosity of the alloy. This combination of wood and metal ensures that the earphone chamber has no 'ringing' which might obscure detail or add colouration.

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. The PS1000e is the culmination of decades of Grado's knowledge and experience in controlling resonances and eliminating distortions. As with all Grado products the most important aspect is the sound. If you are a true music lover; one who will only be satisfied with the very best? The Grado PS1000e is your natural choice. Listen, enjoy and agree
