Not content that is revealed with the fantastic anniversary Grado Signature HP100 See by the end of 2024, Grado is looking to exceed these cans with Grado Signature S950, which not only has some impressive speakers but also somewhat mighty enticing tree.
The most attractive design feature of the signature S950 is definitely their Brazilian walnut trimming, giving these headphones a unique and elegant look. The said shell will also help improve the sound quality, Grado claims – the company promises a more consistent listening experience, “thanks to the lack of expansion and contraction due to changes in temperature or humidity that help preserve the acoustic properties.” Wood Wonders, EH?
On the audio front, Signature S950 uses an updated version of Grados 52 mm S drivers, originally designed for its former flagship model. The Brooklyn-based company set its sights on creating speakers that offered even more high frequency clarity and details than the drivers for the HP100 SE, and Grado promises that the S version will deliver “a smooth midrange and powerful bass while maintaining minimal distortion ”. Translation: Your favorite tunes should sound the harmonious business on the Signature S950.

Of course, there are many more technical details to lure audiophiles looking for the best wired headphones. The S950S Driver uses a “lightly copper -plated aluminum coil”. Paired with a “highflux magnetic circuit made of rare earth alloys”-as really sounds like something from Back to the future – We have high hopes of the dynamics and power of these headphones.
The second set of cans to be displayed in the character’s signature range after the aforementioned HP 100 SE, the S950 headphones weigh 395 grams. The fact that they are relatively light (for serious, advanced headphones) must ensure that they are easy to wear for hours.
The comfort factor must be further increased by a revised version of the PH 100 SE’s headband, which now includes 50% more padding. As is custom for Grado’s signature series, the S950 is also sent with removable cables.
Of course, all this comfort and high flux magnetic parts come at a price. Want to pick up Grado Signature S950 when these cans are launched in March? Prepare to cough $ 2,195 / £ 2,495 (around AU $ 4,900). Hi, your Audio-occupied ears deserved nothing but the best right-ice with a walnut in the middle of the century.
