Grado Signature HP100 SE Headphones
Grado Labs, world-renowned designer and manufacturer of award-winning headphones, announces the release
of its newest and flagship model, the Signature HP100 SE.
Grado Labs founder Joseph Grado created what many consider to be the high-end headphone market with the release of the
Signature HP1 headphone in the early 1990s. In recognition of Joseph Grado’s 100th birthday and this industry milestone,
Grado Labs is introducing these Special Edition headphones.
While the HP100 SE pays homage to Grado’s illustrious past, these headphones are a contemporary version of a true classic,
with a new design from the ground up. With newly engineered drivers, the HP100 SE also boasts detachable cables, as well as
a fresh headband assembly. This also ushers in a new direction for future Grado headphone releases. As always, the HP100 SE
is hand-assembled in its Brooklyn-based headquarters.
- Newly designed 52mm drivers offer excellent dynamics
and transient response, along with a highly refined sense
of space, soundstage and image.
- New detachable cables are engineered to a softer but
durable braided finish, with cable insulation that improves
flexibility and decreases the overall weight of the cable.
- The new cables are terminated with a 6.3mm plug and
connects to each housing via a 4pin mini XLR plug.
- Additional detachable cable options such as 4pin XLR
termination, 4.4mm balanced termination, and various
cable lengths available in the future.
- New headband design features 50% more padding than
previous Grado designs, while new gimbal and rod design
enhances stability.
