Grado - S950 - Signature Series Open-back Brazilian Walnut Headphones
Imagine slipping on a pair of headphones that feel more like a precision instrument than a consumer product—lightweight yet built to last, handcrafted from richly grained Brazilian Walnut, each piece unique. The Signature S950 merges form and function: an ergonomic build weighing just 395 g (0.87 lb) ensures long listening sessions remain fatigue-free, while the natural wood housing echoes the elegance of high-end audio craftsmanship.
Under the hood, the S950 features Grado’s newly engineered 52mm driver, tuned to deliver exceptional high-frequency clarity, a smooth and expressive mid-range, and deep, controlled bass—all with minimal distortion. The sound signature is at once natural and balanced, bringing out subtle musical details and powerful dynamics across genre boundaries.
Rounded out by thoughtful build and connectivity, the Signature S950 ships with a 6-foot detachable Signature Gold cable terminating in a 6.35 mm single-ended plug and 4-pin balanced mini XLR connectors—while future cable upgrades (4-pin XLR, 4.4 mm balanced) are on the horizon. The redesigned headband, with 50% more padding than previous models, plus the artfully crafted walnut housings made in Brooklyn, NY, elevate this headphone into the realm of high-fidelity luxury listening.
