Grado GW100 Wireless Headphone

"A Wireless dream Come True"

Precision takes patience. With the new GW100, Grado Labs presents the first and only open-back Bluetooth headphone. Audiophiles rejoice. Grado made no compromises to bring you the genuine Grado sound in a wireless headphone.

Since 1953 Grado Labs has adapted at its own pace, and the first wireless Grado headphone is only the first step in what's to come. Grado took its time to get the sound of the GW100 just right, and in the end nothing has been lost except the wires.

Inside the GW100 are none other than signature Grado drivers. These speakers are the same ones that Grado builds for its wired headphones, which are finely tuned for the different enclosures Grado uses. Grado Labs' first wireless headphone is no different, with drivers configured specifically for them. The desired sonic capabilities of the GW100 would not be possible without decades of experience in driver design from a company with a long family heritage of headphone expertise.

"Nothing at This Price Point Can Even Compete"

"A wireless dream come true," reports Mario Aguilar, Gizmodo.com, October 11, 2018. "The headphones sound good! Super good! To my decent ears as good as anything I've ever heard that doesn't drive the price north of $400. Given the company's pedigree, that's not super surprising."

"This is one immersive, realistic, spacious sound. With the GW100, Grado delivers an awe-inspiring experience that just doesn't quit," raves Carroll Moore, MajorHiFi.com, October 8, 2018. "Nothing at this price point can even compete with the GW100 in terms of sheer sound quality."

A World's First

The GW100 is the world's first open-back Bluetooth headphones. No one except Grado has ever made anything like this, and Grado does it right. The speaker housings and the internals of the GW100 have been designed from the ground up, and the careful design notably diminishes escaping sound by up to 60%, as compared to Grado's wired headphones.*

Definitely Grado

There is a design language that's seen throughout all of Grado's headphones since Grado started building them nearly 30 years ago. A simple glance at the GW100 instantly confirms that it is part of this esteemed family. These wireless Grado headphones are a milestone in the company's 65-year history. They have the highest quality and performance level that you would expect from Grado.

Included with the GW100 are a micro-USB charging cable and a 3.5mm audio cable, which includes an inline mic and remote.
