Grado Signature S550 Headphones

If You Prefer Musical Playback Marked by Warmth, Detail, and a Relaxed Presentation, You're Going to Love Grado Signature S550: Headphones Feature Brazilian Walnut Housings

Why settle on any headphones when you can get a pair exclusively tuned for warmth, openness, and clarity by a New York-based company that has been at it for decades? The fourth model in Grado’s Signature line, S550 specializes in a relaxed musical presentation that nonetheless conveys engaging speed, detail, and immediacy. 

Bolstered by a 50mm S2 dynamic driver engineered specifically for optimal interaction with its all-wood enclosure, S550 offers wide soundstaging and precise imaging all the while aiming for fatigue-free experiences that encourage long listening sessions. Brazilian walnut housings — each made individually, ensuring no pairs are exactly like — contribute stability, density, and natural tonality, as well as elevated levels of consistency and fullness that enhance the presence of the music you play. 

Shipped with a standard Grado Silver detachable cable terminated with a 3.5mm mini plug at the source end, the 11.8-ounce S550 equips each housing with a 4-pin balanced mini XLR input for compatibility with a wide range of other cables. B cushion earpads along with a leather headband featuring a flexible metal support for easy adjustment, engraved metal gimbals, stainless-steel height rods, reinforced junction blocks, and controlled housing rotation translate to desirable comfort and durability.
