Grado Signature S750 Headphone

The Grado House Sound, Richer and More Detailed

The Grado Signature S750 is an open-back over-ear headphone hand-assembled in Brooklyn, marking a genuinely new chapter in Grado's ongoing pursuit of authentic, musical listening within the brand's premium Signature Line.

A new 52mm X Series driver delivers an expansive soundstage, vivid midrange detail, and powerful low-frequency control, with instruments feeling tangible and vocals sitting centered amid genuine air and ambience.

The S750 earned an Editor's Choice award from The Absolute Sound in 2025 and Recommended Component status from Stereophile the same year, recognition for a genuinely refined take on Grado's signature character.

Where the 52mm X Series Driver Earns Its Keep

Engineered for Speed and Low Distortion

The 52mm driver's diaphragms are carefully tuned for extended dynamics and effortless transparency, while Grado's open-back architecture maintains genuine clarity and openness throughout an engaging, natural presentation from top to bottom.

At 38 ohms impedance, the S750 sounds great from both desktop systems and mobile devices alike, offering genuine flexibility without ever compromising the fidelity this driver is capable of delivering.

Aluminum and Maple, Built to Minimize Resonance

A precision-machined aluminum and maple hybrid housing minimizes resonance around the driver, while Grado's upgraded braided cable ensures pure signal transfer and genuine long-term durability throughout regular, everyday listening use overall.

A comfortable leather headband and plush foam ear cushions make the S750 genuinely well suited to late-night listening sessions, home studio work, or relaxed weekend enjoyment at your own unhurried, easygoing pace.

Who Is the Signature S750 Best For?

• You want the Grado house sound in a genuinely refined package: two 2025 industry awards recognize this as a meaningful step up
• You listen to jazz, classical, or rock and want emotional connection: this tuning reveals texture and nuance in every performance
• You value comfort for extended sessions: the leather headband and plush foam cushions suit hours of continuous listening
• You want flexibility between mobile and desktop sources: 38 ohms impedance works comfortably with both without compromise
• You want added refinement in Grado's Signature line — the S750 steps up to an aluminum housing

How Does It Connect to Your System?

An 8-conductor cable terminates in a 3.5mm plug with an included 1/4" adapter, connecting easily to headphone amplifiers, DACs, and portable players without any additional accessories needed.

At 38 ohms, the S750 produces sound from a phone or laptop easily enough, though a dedicated headphone amplifier still reveals more of what this driver can genuinely do.

Pairs Well With

What finishes the system around a Signature S750:

• Headphone amplifiers — reveals noticeably more detail and control than a portable source alone
• Digital-to-analog converters — a clean digital source feeding your amp matters as much as the amp itself
• Headphone cables — the included cable covers most setups, with aftermarket options available too
• Headphone stands — a proper resting spot between listening sessions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a headphone amplifier for the Signature S750?

Not strictly. At 38 ohms, it produces sound easily from a phone or laptop, though a dedicated amplifier reveals noticeably more of what this driver is capable of.

What does open-back mean for everyday use?

Sound leaks freely in both directions — people nearby hear your music, and outside noise comes in. Reserve these for quiet home listening, not a commute.

How is this different from the Signature S550?

The S550 uses a walnut wood housing tuned for a warmer, more forgiving presentation. The S750 uses an aluminum and maple hybrid housing for a different, more refined character.

Is the cable detachable?

The included 8-conductor cable terminates in 3.5mm with a 1/4" adapter included, connecting easily to both portable and desktop equipment right out of the box.

Where is the Signature S750 made?

By hand, in Brooklyn, New York, where Grado has assembled headphones since 1953, bridging decades of audio heritage with today's driver technology.
