The New York manufacturer developed the limited headphones from the highly exclusive "Golden Ear Edition" together with the specialists at AUDIO+stereoplay. Technically, it is based on the SR-2x from the new "Reference Series". However, the sound-relevant supply cable is taken from the more expensive "Statement Series". The drivers are also highly selected.

The headband made of cognac-colored leather contributes to the elegant design.

Anyone who thinks of the elaborately hand-built Grado headphones always assumes that the exquisite masterpieces made of precious wood also have a particularly exclusive price. However, the Grado RS2x turns such assumptions on their head. As a smaller model in the Reference series, the RS2x has almost all the genetic makeup of the larger models from the same company. Only the multi-layered wooden housing and the air chambers are a little smaller than the noticeably more expensive family members. So it's no wonder that the RS2x, as a high-end headphone made in New York, has all the well-known sound characteristics for lifelike music reproduction. In particular, the new X-drivers with a weight-reduced voice coil in the elaborate sound body made of hemp sandwich and maple wood play a significant role in the sound.

With its detailed resolution and outstanding neutrality, the RS2x covers all musical genres. This makes even the most extreme musical passages and large orchestral works a pleasure to listen to. Where many other headphones reach their limits, the Grado RS2x really comes into its own.
