What does
the i stand for in the new GS1000i from Grado? Improved, that's what!
Featuring a new species of handcrafted Mahogany earpieces made using an
intricate curing process; Grado has been able to optimize the tonal
quality. The GS1000i uses new upgraded dynamic transducers and the new
8 conductor cable design. All this, new wood, driver and cable designs
result in improved control and stability of the upper and lower range
of the frequency spectrum with both better supporting the GS1000i's new
world renowned midrange.
Grado's GS1000i cushion design
actually creates a "room" for the ears to sit, creating a larger
soundstage and greater spatial experience for the listener. It was most
important to design the correct balance between the driver and our
wooden driver housing to give us the resulting sound that we desired.
This has been accomplished. By creating this "room" for the ears to
sit, positioning of the cushions with regards to the ears (i.e.,
forward or back) is somewhat critical in finding the absolute sweet
spot.
With this cushion design, we believe the GS1000i to be one of the most comfortable headphones on the market today.
The GS1000i retains a sound that is pure Grado, rich full-bodied

presentation is very detailed, the bass is deep and the music is very
tight and non-fatiguing. All with a soundstage that is huge allowing
for unbelievable separation and layering of the music which is simply

"The Grado GS1000 is a luxury headphone built for comfort and long listening sessions…sinking into a favorite chair and enjoying a visit with a beloved symphony, headphones don't sound or feel much better than this. The GS1000s are utterly habit-forming, so audition at your own risk."
