Professional Series Headphones - The Very Best from Grado Labs! 

Grado's PS1000 is the finest headphone Grado has ever made!  Smooth, rich, powerful and dynamic, the PS1000 does everything that Grado headphones are renowned for, with greater resolution, smoother timbre and a more refined presentation than any other Grado headphone.

Physically the same size as the outstanding GS1000 headphones, the PS1000 uses the same oversized cushions and an improved and upgraded driver.  The outer housing is made of a metal alloy, but the inner housing is made of the same wood used in the GS1000.  This combination of materials allows the PS1000 to create a warm, rich sound with extremely low resonance and vibration characteristics for deep imaging and ultra-black backgrounds.  In keeping with the new i series of Grado headphones, the PS1000 receives an upgraded headphone cable with larger and better conductors than ever before.

Because of the physical improvements of the headphones, the PS1000 weighs significantly more than the GS1000, which makes their presence felt a bit more, although it should be pointed out that the PS1000s aren't that heavy compared to other designs and as heapdhone mass goes, the GS1000 is generally considered a flyweight. Despite the extra weight, the PS1000 is a very comfortable and balanced headphone, the design of the band and the headpads supporting the weight evenly for long listening sessions.

There's a wonderful in-depth review on the Grado website which explains the differences between the PS1000 and the other headphones that Grado has created in the past.  This is recommended reading for any Grado aficionado!

"Brilliant resolution; cohesive; rhythmic; strong dynamics; impressive bass insight. The PS1000s are undoubtedly one of the finest headphones money can buy." — What HiFi?

"I've been listening to Grado headphones for over 15 years, and I have to say that the PS1000 is the greatest headphone they've ever made." — Mark Rivera, long time member of the Billy Joel Band & Musical Director for Ringo Star

"...we think the PS1000 is the best-looking and best-sounding headphone we've tested from the company. That also makes it one of the best pair of headphones we've ever heard." — Steve Guttenberg, CNET

"Built to last and a masterpiece of engineering, they are the first conventional driver headphones to outperform Stax electrostats across the board. What an accomplishment!" — Robert H. Levi, Positive Feedback Online

"In any type of music, at any level, this is music reproduction of the highest order which convinces both instinctively and analytically. Hats off to Grado!" — Richard Black, HiFi Choice

"The Grado model PS-1000 is like a statistical anomaly that comes up once in a great while, like a great ballplayer that comes along once in a generation or two. The PS-1000 retrieves all the data sent it, with delicacy, or power (as the music demands), without smearing or masking. I think they are the Willie Mays, Derek Jeter or Peyton Manning of Grado headphones." — Max Dudious, Positive Feedback Online

"For a sense of the instrumental separation that the PS1000s can deliver, go no farther than Rodrigo Y Gabriela's version of "Stairway to Heaven". As a bridge out of the slow intro gets going, there is a lot of fast chord work happening on acoustic guitars and you can hear every string clearly. The sound on this track was amazing enough that I had to play it twice." — Tom Martin, AVguide

"...the PS1000s are simply the best-sounding, most comfortable, and best-looking Grado headphones we've ever tested." — Steve Guttenberg, Cnet
