Grado PS1000e

They are open-backed, over-ear headphones designed for critical listening. The open-back design allows air to pass through the ear cups. This prevents pressure buildup and creates a highly spacious soundstage.

They feature Grado’s proprietary Silvergrass stylus element and a phenolic cone driver. This specific driver architecture is designed to deliver a highly detailed and dynamic sound signature. The components are meticulously matched to handle high frequencies.

They are known for delivering a detailed, dynamic sound signature. Most notably, they feature a pronounced treble response that highlights vocals and string instruments. Some audiophiles find this high-end clarity incredibly engaging for rock music.

Because they feature an open-backed design, they do not block out ambient background noise. Sound easily leaks in and out of the ear cups. They are designed for quiet, private listening environments rather than commuting.
