Grado RS2x Reference On-Ear headphones

A nimble yet unwavering headphone, the redesigned RS2x explores new territory for the Reference Series by marrying maple with hemp wood.

Hand-Built in Brooklyn
Maple / Hemp Wood Housing
Durable 8 Conductor Cable
White-Stitched Leather Headband
De-Stressed Driver
Drivers Matched .05dB

The driver and housing working in tandem react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. With harmonic colors and a world renowned mid-range, the RS2x immediately draws you in. The sound the woods produce, when combined with Grado's special processes, is full-bodied with a rich vocality. With drivers Specifically tuned for the RS2x wood housing, 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 44mm 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 RS2x. Housed in a more durable exterior, the now super annealed copper 8-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent.

Hand-Built in Brooklyn. Grado's first wooden headphones were built in the middle of the night back in 1994 by John Grado. Each RS2x headphone is hand-built by Grado's team in Brooklyn - these headphones go from workbench to workbench until they’re ready for your ears.
