{"product_id":"grado-gs1000x-statement-kopfhoerer-offen","title":"Grado Statement GS1000x Open-Back Headphones","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Grado Statement GS1000x is a large open-back over-ear headphone with a 50 mm X driver in a housing made from mahogany and Ipê wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMahogany brings warmth and texture, while the very dense Ipê keeps the sound structured and stable. Grado calls this pairing Bi-Wood – it's the foundation for the famous Statement midrange and for a soundstage you won't find anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the GS1000x?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Statement series combines the large 50 mm X driver with a 12-conductor cable made of super-annealed copper. But the real star is the G-Cushion, affectionately known in Grado jargon as the \"salad bowl\": it creates real space around the ear and, with it, the most spacious imaging in the entire range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exceptionally large, airy soundstage with plenty of room around voices and instruments, plus a balanced, natural tonal foundation from 8 to 35,000 Hz. The large pad keeps the ear at a distance: that creates space – but costs a little of the direct bass punch of smaller pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the GS1000x for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor connoisseurs who want a big, open soundstage at home: classical, jazz, anything with space and reverberation. Straight talk: open-back and large – it doesn't isolate anything and isn't for use on the go. Anyone looking for maximum, direct bass punch should take a good look at the G-Cushion first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GS1000x is Grado's soundstage magician: mahogany, Ipê, the 50 mm driver and the G-Cushion combine for a spaciousness barely any other open headphone achieves. And at under 400 grams, this giant wears more lightly than its appearance suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Open-back over-ear headphones (open-back, dynamic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Grado Statement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating principle: Open air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver: 50 mm, Grado X driver (4th generation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriver matching: 0.05 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousing: Bi-Wood, mahogany and Ipê\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 8–35,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound pressure (1 mW): 99.8 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal impedance: 38 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad: G-Cushion (large, ear-enclosing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable: 12-conductor, super-annealed copper, fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadband: Leather with white stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: 6.3 mm jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: under 400 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturing: Hand-assembled in Brooklyn, NY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the Grado GS1000x sound so spacious?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large G-Cushion fully encloses the ear and holds it further from the driver. Together with the 50 mm X driver and the mahogany-and-Ipê housing, this creates the most spacious soundstage in the Grado range: air around voices and instruments instead of closeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Grado GS1000x need a headphone amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommended, but not essential. At 38 Ω it also plays from a good headphone output. A dedicated headphone amp or DAC gives it the calm, control and dynamics a headphone of this class deserves – audible especially in quiet passages and big orchestral moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Grado GS1000x plug straight into an amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The fixed 12-conductor cable ends in a factory 6.3 mm jack, so it goes straight into the headphone jack of an integrated amp or headphone amp. For a 3.5 mm output you'll need an adapter or adapter cable; you'll find both in our headphone accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Grado GS1000x at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the big soundstage of the GS1000x is a matter of taste – and taste is best discussed.
