Grado Classic Series
For decades, the Classic Series has formed the heart of the Grado portfolio. It stands for an uncompromising open-back philosophy that aims not to analyze music, but to make it a tangible experience. Instead of artificial effects or digital sound processing, Grado relies on a direct connection between recording and listener – open, natural, and authentic.
The Classic Series embodies precisely those values that have made Grado one of the most renowned brands in the field of high-quality headphones: musical proximity, high transparency and a reproduction that faithfully conveys the character of a recording.
Designed for music
At the heart of all models in the Classic Series is Grado's modern X2 driver platform. It is the result of decades of development work and is based on continuous refinement of the tuning through experience, critical listening and feedback from music lovers around the world.
The X2 platform forms the technical basis of the entire series and ensures that balanced combination of clarity, dynamics and musicality that has characterized the Grado sound for generations.
One family, many characters
From the accessible entry-level models of the SR series to the elaborately constructed top-of-the-line models, the Classic Series encompasses numerous variations. Each model is based on the same fundamental philosophy, but develops its own character through different materials, individual tuning, and specific acoustic properties.
This creates a family of models that appeals to a wide variety of listening preferences, yet remains unmistakably part of the same tradition.
Open construction as a principle
Grado has always relied on open-back headphone designs. This construction allows for natural air circulation behind the drivers, creating a spacious, airy sound reproduction that makes music sound freer and more authentic.
Voices gain more presence, instruments more room to develop, and recordings become more natural. The result is a listening experience that brings the listener closer to the music and strengthens the emotional connection to the recording.
A tradition that lives on.
Technologies, materials, and manufacturing methods have evolved over the years. However, the fundamental idea behind the Classic Series has remained unchanged: to develop headphones that bring music lovers closer to their favorite recordings.
The current generation of the Grado Classic Series continues this tradition, combining decades of experience with modern driver technology. The result is a series of headphones that not only reproduce sound, but make music a tangible experience – direct, emotional, and unmistakably Grado.
