Description
For listeners who want audiophile-grade open-back sound without a heavy commitment, the Grado RS2x Reference Series delivers a warm, full-bodied tone wrapped in a featherweight wooden shell. Hand-assembled in Brooklyn since 1953, this on-ear headphone pairs a maple sleeve and hemp-wood core housing with Grado's 4th Generation X Drivers — a 44mm dynamic transducer specifically tuned to the bi-wood construction for improved efficiency and reduced distortion. The super annealed copper 8-conductor cable and black leather headband with white-stitched accent complete a design that reveals detail in familiar recordings while keeping things easy to drive from any source. Music-lovers describe the RS2x as drawing you in with its distinctive mid-range character and rich, natural presentation — a natural fit for vinyl enthusiasts and digital listeners alike.
