Grado GS3000e Statement Series Headphones

Grado's Finest Wooden Headphone to Date

The Grado GS3000e is the finest wooden headphone that Grado Labs has built to date. Using Cocobolo wood for the first time in a large-body housing, this headphone has some of the richest sound that Grado has ever produced.

Cocobolo wood is found in Central America, and just like the music from that region, it is teeming with texture and emotion. What was discovered from using this wood in the GH2 and Grado's flagship phono cartridge siblings, the Epoch and Aeon, has been brought over to the Statement Series process for the first time. This is the fullest single body of Cocobolo Grado has ever built, and the GS3000e is the perfect fit for this beautiful looking, beautiful sounding wood.

Carefully Tuned Signature Drivers

Being the first Statement Series headphone to use Cocobolo wood, the GS3000e features Grado's 50mm signature drivers which Grado engineers carefully tuned to not only take advantage of the larger soundstage, but also to embrace the deep and impactful musical character of this unique wood. Cocobolo continues to be one of the Grado family’s favorite woods to work with. One listen to the amazing GS3000e will give you one of Grado's many reasons why.
