Grado GS1000e Open Back Headphones Preview

How do you improve on something that is perfect? GS1000i was one of my favorites choices of reference headphones when I want to listen to music or if I want to compare new headphones performance.

With the e series, Gradolabs were able to improve their award wining headphones, when I first knew about the e series and that Grado confirmed that the improvement was great in built and sound quality, I was eager to see and hear how much were they able to improve on the GS1000i.

They look the same as the previous model except for the matt finish mahogany wood and the e series logo engraved next to the model number, the built quality felt the same. Since I haven’t encountered any issue with the GS1000i I think it hard to not to compare the build quality.

The moment I plugged in the GS1000e I understood what they meant with great improvement, even though the sound of the previous model was almost flawless, the new edition is far better sounding.

Bass is much more present, it has a stronger kick and a greater and deeper extent with more control and no distortion of what so ever.

Mids are similar to the previous model which were already amazing, where as highs and treble sound more natural and easy on the ears.

The sound stage is huge, its exceptionally wide and spacious with superb imaging, and as usual for the over ear models from Grado the G cushions provides an amazing room effect and an outstanding soundstage.

To sum things the GS1000e are one of the best headphones I have ever listened to, and I would highly recommend them for everyone who is looking for best sound quality with any compromise.
