Grado is one of the oldest U.S. companies in high fidelity. In the 1950 phono cartridges are manufactured turntables, and speakers. While rating remains a full line of cartridges of great prestige, which is perhaps best known today for your headphones, which come from the professional line which began manufacturing in the 1980

Grado PS1000 apart from anything else, really raises the current maximum price of dynamic headphones, but given our recent experiences with headphones, we are happy to accept that it also raises the bar in terms of performance.

It is clear that its design owes at least something to the GS1000, as the general form is very similar. The most obvious is the change from the wood of the headset to an alloy metal.

Technically, the PS1000 seems relatively simple and straightforward, but many an unpretentious audio product has proven to be spectacularly accurate. Degree has paid much attention to the conductor housing, consisting of a mahogany interior section and an outer frame of a hard metal alloy. Grado also said they worked long and hard to get the air behind the driver in an appropriate way to minimize the transient distortion. That is a statement we will agree with.

CONCLUSION: Grade PS1000 is a well-balanced headset that stands out in the details and subtleties in music.

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!
