Grado GR8 In-Ear Headphone is Aptly Named! 

The Grado GR-8 has quickly become one of our best-selling headphones! 

Grado GR8 in-ear headphones produce reference-quality sound, have great ergonomics and perform well beyond their price point! Their sonic signature is pure Grado, exactly the sound that has earned Grado their long-standing reputation with both music-lovers and audiophiles. The GR8 delivers music honestly, completely true to the source. Exceptional at reproducing vocals; the GR8's clarity with mass instrument recordings is unsurpassed. Unlike many of the in-ear headphones we've tested, the GR8 actually delivers realistic spatial definition.

The GR8 employs a single armature driver per channel, which means there's no crossover, no bulky body and no smearing! Eliminating the crossover means a purer, simpler signal path, improving everything from tonal balance to imaging. Grado's use of a single driver in the GR8 eliminates the distortion caused by multiple drivers, it also means Grado can use a single higher quality driver instead of multiple cheaper ones. This also has the effect of making the GR8's chassis significantly smaller and lightweight than their competition, since the body only has to accomodate one driver, not multiples.

The GR8s are easy to fit and very comfortable to wear, even for long listening sessions. Their small size nestles properly within the ear canal, maintaining an excellent seal for proper bass response and noise isolation without causing discomfort. Three sizes of medical-grade silicone tips are provided to match the size of your ear canal.

Other innovative features include a raised dot on the left earphone provides tactile identification, allowing GR8s to be put on correctly and quickly, even in the dark! The GR8’s high-quality cabling is long enough to reach into a shoulder bag or shirt pocket and the “Y” is long enough to ensure they won't pop out when you turn your head. Grado uses a special cable for the GR8 that is non-microphonic and virtually tangle-free.

The GR8’s single armature does not require a crossover, so it delivers the music honestly, completely true to the source. The GR8 is exceptional at reproducing vocals; its clarity with mass instrument recordings is unsurpassed and unlike so many in-ear headphones, the GR8 delivers realistic spatial definition.

"The GR8s give sensational clarity to vocals and present even the very highest register frequencies with precision and plenty of headroom. Per typical Grado fidelity, rock, pop, and soul tracks are rich with expressiveness and emotion and even classical tracks radiate through the frequency spectrum." — Bailey S. Barnard, TONEAUDIO

"Not only does the bass of the Grados go deeper and the treble sound more lifelike, but real instruments and voices sound much more like real instruments and real voices." —  Tom Lyle, Enjoy The Music

"As a music lover more than anything and also musician, the GR8est just brought out the heart and soul of the recording and music. I had a lot of fun listening and felt like I was listening to a very high end system. I could, and hope to, live with these for a long time as my IEM of choice and traveling companions." — Todd Green, TTVJ.com

"The GR8s gave me one of the most pleasurable listening experiences I've had from a set of in-ears in quite awhile... if your overall focus is getting great sound in a really small and lightweight design, they're pretty hard to beat." — Kevin Reylek, B&H Insights

"It's been written that the GR8s have that famous 'Grado sound'. We don't know anything about that because we haven't heard any Grado reference headphones. All we know is that the GR8s sound really, really good. What else matters more than that?" — Bill Henderson, iPhoneWorld.ca
