Immerse yourself in finely handcrafted cocobolo earcups, uniquely matched for both finish and sound. Paired with a metal chamber to control the largest Grado driver yet. The new 52mm X Driver, finely tuned for cocobolo and precision metal, enhances efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves harmonic integrity. Not just an auditory delight, the GS3000x boasts redesigned cables and a durable exterior, housing a super annealed copper 12-conductor cable for optimal sonic integrity.
The black leather headband, featuring Grado’s signature metal gimbals and large “G” foam cushions, adds comfort to style. Despite the cocobolo and metal’s density, these headphones sit lightly on your head, offering a comfortable listening experience. The GS3000x reveals its exceptional efficiency and dynamic range across various sources; whether enjoying classical piano duets, rock tracks, or Broadway the GS3000x delivers a musical, mellow, and detailed sound. These headphones excel in spatial representation and dynamics.
Switching to different sources, from a high-end tube amp to a portable DAP or a smartphone, the GS3000x maintains its musicality. Grado’s decades-long reputation for audiophile-quality dynamic headphones is affirmed with the GS3000x, standing tall against planar headphones. Light and easy to drive, they excel in various settings, offering an affordable and versatile solution for audiophiles on the go or in their libraries. The GS3000x is the reference dynamic headphone you’ve been waiting for, delivering exceptional sound and comfort.
Teeming with texture and emotion, cocobolo’s sonic properties and innate mass makes it perfect for our new speakers. We paired this with a metal chamber to add even more mass, which lets us control the rigidity of our largest driver yet. Cocobolo has striking patterns and color that tend to vary from pair to pair.

The GS3000x is the first headphone to utilize our new 52mm X Driver. Specifically tuned to embrace the tenacity of cocobolo and precision of metal, 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 our first 52mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.
Customer Reviews
This company has impressed me from their earbuds through the middle-tier, so it was time to go big. And these do -- beautiful to behold, comfortable, and massive in soundstage and clarity. Everything from the rock classics to my own homemade folk tunes sound better than they ever have. Excellent 'phones.
They were my childhood dream. Extremely pure and Crystal clear sound....fantastic
The best experience ever! Highest quality ever felt, heard, experienced. Should have gotten this 35 years sooner
Close your eyes and you will feel the artist is in the room. Best headphones I've ever owned.
Headphones sound terrific. One question though: The cable has become brittle-ish with what appears to be permanent waviness. In other words, it is not very flexible. Was this intended?
