Grado RS2x Headphones

Nimble Yet Unwavering New Reference Series Headphone

A nimble yet unwavering headphone, the redesigned Grado RS2x explores new territory for the Reference Series by marrying maple with hemp wood. Contributing to the amazing sonic performance, the RS2x also boasts new cables and headbands and the acclaimed 44mm X Driver.

The Sound of Wood – Maple Meets Hemp

A family favorite, the Reference RS2x has been completely redesigned to bring out the full potential of its maple and hemp wood. The housing’s sleeve and ring are made from maple, while a hemp core keeps everything together. Grado builds with wood for its warm and embracing tonal abilities, and the RS2x is an exceptional evolution to the RS2 line.

Grado Signature Sound

Discovering new pieces in songs heard hundreds of times is why Grado is here. The driver and housing working in tandem react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. With harmonic colors and a world-renowned midrange, the RS2x immediately draws you in. The sound the woods produce, when combined with Grado's special processes, are full-bodied with a rich vocality.

Grado X-Series Drivers

Fourth Generation Grado drivers are here. 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 Grado's 44mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.

New Cable and Headbands, Too

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 eight-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent for a special stylish look.

Hand Assembled in Brooklyn, USA

Grado's first wooden headphones were built back in 1994 by John Grado, and wood has been a staple on Grado's workbench ever since. Each RS2x headphone is hand assembled in Brooklyn, USA. These headphones go from workbench to workbench until they’re ready for your ears. Grado originally started building audio gear on the family's kitchen table in 1953, and every experience since then has led up to the RS1x.
