Grado GS3000x Statement Series Headphones

Grado's Best Sounding Headphone in Seven Decades

Housing Grado's most powerful driver yet is a metal chamber surrounded by cocobolo wood, elevating the Statement Series GS3000x to the best sounding Grado headphone in seven decades.

Journey inside the music and hear the space between instruments with the unique soundstage of the GS3000x. This is only possible when Grado's large ear cushions, new 52mm driver, 12-conductor cable, and large cocobolo housing work in unison. This is the most detail a Grado headphone has ever delivered from your music to your ears.

"Even now that the market has expanded exponentially over the last few years, I feel the GS3000x to be one of the few dynamic headphones that can stand toe to toe with planar headphones," reports Gary Alan Barker in his headphone.guru review for October 13, 2022. "The Grado GS3000x is the perfect reference dynamic headphone that is both affordable and versatile whether for use in your library or on the road. Full recommendation."

The Sound of Wood and Metal

Teeming with texture and emotion, cocobolo wood’s sonic properties and innate mass makes it the perfect housing for Grado's new drivers. It's paired with a metal chamber to add even more mass, which controls the rigidity of the 52mm driver. A feast for the eyes as well as the ears, cocobolo wood has striking patterns and color that vary beautifully from pair to pair.

The Most Powerful Yet

The GS3000x is the first headphone to utilize Grado's new 52mm X Driver. Specifically tuned to embrace the tenacity of cocobolo wood and the precision of metal, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for Grado's first 52mm drivers improves efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of the music.

New Cable and Headband

Along with the drivers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the GS3000x. Housed in a more durable exterior, the now super annealed copper 12-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent.

Hand Assembled in Brooklyn with Love

Founded on a kitchen table in 1953 – and working with wood for over a quarter century – Grado Labs has been perfecting the art of sonic reproduction every day since. This GS3000x has traveled from workbench to workbench until ready for your ears. Every experience since that kitchen table has led to the creation of the GS3000x.

Grado Warranty Information

"The Grado Labs Statement Series 3000x Headphones are musical masterpieces and killer cans."

"...they performed with pure sophistication and high definition. More definition overall for any Grado Headphone I know of, they always communicated with a neutral and extremely linear presentation. Their sense of reality is state of the art. Their big surprise is their huge dynamic range and sub-woofer-like bass. What great fun! I happily give the new Grado Labs Statement Series 3000x my highest 'buy' recommendation."
