Grado - RS1 Headphones

Slip a Classic on Your Head and Experience Signature Grado Craftsmanship: Modern Iteration of RS1 Headphones Feature Tri-Wood Housing, X2 Dynamic Driver, Signature Gold Headband, and Leather Strap

Longtime audiophiles might recognize the significance of Grado RS1 headphones. Introduced in the early 90s as the very first wooden model in the New York company’s lineup, it helped elevate Grado’s standing as a high-end headphone manufacturer and served as a blueprint for many offerings that followed. The latest iteration of the open-air RS1 swaps the mahogany housing for a tri-wood blend of cocobolo, hemp, and maple, each contributing distinct acoustic properties that lend to density, damping, and stability. The result: Layered, controlled, well-defined sound marked by an expressive midrange and vibrant immediacy.

Fueled by a 50mm X2 dynamic driver complete with a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, and rare-earth magnetic system, RS1 replicates detail and tonality with fantastic accuracy and balance. A Signature Gold headband assembly — featuring engraved aluminum alloy gimbals, stainless-steel height rods, and reinforced aluminum junction blocks to improve structural stability and long-term durability while maintaining controlled rotation for proper alignment — and leather head strap with contrasting stitching promises pleasurable comfort even during long listening sessions. An internal spring band lets you adjust claiming pressure for an exact personal fit.

Sold with a Signature Silver cable, L cushions, RS1 is a classic in every sense. Order with the security of a one-year manufacturer warranty and our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
