Grado Headphones
GS3000x
Cocobolo precision. Statement detail.
The GS3000x is the flagship of Grado's Statement series — the first headphone to use the new 52mm X Driver, specifically tuned to embrace the tenacity of cocobolo wood and precision of its metal chamber. A more powerful magnetic circuit, decreased-mass voice coil, and reconfigured diaphragm deliver the most detail a Grado headphone has ever produced, with frequency response from 4 Hz to 51 kHz. The cocobolo wood outer ring adds a punchy, vivid character, while the metal inner chamber provides surgical control. A 12-conductor super-annealed copper cable and black leather headband with white stitching complete the Statement experience.

Key Features
52mm X Driver
The most powerful X Driver Grado has built — rare-earth magnetic circuit, decreased-mass voice coil, and reconfigured diaphragm for 4 Hz to 51 kHz response.
Cocobolo & Metal Housing
A metal inner chamber surrounded by hand-shaped cocobolo wood — surgical precision from the metal, vivid punch from the cocobolo.
12-Conductor Super-Annealed Cable
Super-annealed copper in a 12-conductor braided cable — improved purity and signal integrity housed in a durable exterior.
Matched to 0.05 dB
Each driver pair is hand-matched to within 0.05 dB at Grado's Brooklyn workshop for perfect channel balance.
Technologies Inside
4th-Generation X Drivers
More power. Less mass. More music.
Grado's 4th-generation X Drivers feature a more powerful magnetic circuit using rare-earth alloys, a voice coil with decreased effective mass using copper-plated aluminium, and a reconfigured 'de-stressed' diaphragm. Available in 44 mm (Prestige/Reference) and 50/52 mm (Statement/Signature) sizes, each driver is tuned for its specific housing material and matched to 0.05 dB per pair — improving efficiency, reducing distortion, and preserving the harmonic integrity of your music at every volume level.
Tonewood & Metal Housings
Every material has a voice.
Grado selects each housing material for its unique acoustic signature: cocobolo for vivid punch, Brazilian walnut for relaxed warmth, mahogany for tonal richness, maple for balanced clarity, hemp for smooth extension, and machined aluminium for surgical precision. Many models combine multiple woods — the RS1x uses maple, hemp, and cocobolo together — to create complex, layered acoustic characters that synthetic housings cannot replicate. Every housing is hand-shaped at the Brooklyn workshop.
