Discovering new pieces in songs heard hundreds of times is what all of us are here for. The driver and housing working in tandem react to sound vibrations and virtually eliminate transient distortions. With harmonic colours and a world renowned mid-range, the RS2x immediately draws you in. The sound the woods produce, when combined with the special Grado manufacturing processes, are full-bodied with a rich vocality. 4th generation X-Drivers are here. Specifically tuned for the RS2x wood housing, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for the 44 mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music. Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the RS2x. Housed in a more durable exterior, the now super annealed copper 8-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent. The first Grado wooden headphones were built in the middle of the night back in 1994 by John Grado, and wood has been a staple on his workbench ever since. Each RS2x headphone is hand-built by the team in Brooklyn – these headphones go from workbench to workbench until they’re ready for your ears. The company started building on a kitchen table in 1953, and every experience since then has led to the RS2x.
