Grado Mini Adaptor Cable 6.3 mm to 3.5 mm

The Grado mini adaptor cable leads a 6.3 mm headphone jack via an approximately 20 cm braided cable to a 3.5 mm plug – so your Grado also runs from small headphone outputs.

It is the cable version of the Grado adaptor: the heavy headphone jack does not hang directly from the device's output.

Why the adaptor cable?

With a directly plugged-in adaptor, the full connector with its housing sits on the device. A short cable in between relieves the socket on the laptop, DAC or smartphone. Grado makes it in the same braided design as the headphone cables.

What you get

A compact adaptor cable with gold-plated contacts in Grado design. Plug in and listen.

Who is the mini adaptor cable for?

For anyone with a Grado headphone with a 6.3 mm plug who uses it occasionally on the move or at the computer. Plain talk: the cable does not change the fact that an open Grado lets noise in and out when you are out and about, and it does not replace a headphone amplifier.

Our verdict

A small part with a clear purpose: well built, short and exactly what you look for when the output is only 3.5 mm.
