Grado GW100X Headphones - Over/On Ear For sale a set of Grado GW100x. Bought from A2A in July last year. Replacing them as I recently picked up a set of Focal Clears which have scratched my open back headphone itch. The Clears are obviously better but have to say the Grados aren't too far behind and, if you're into rock, far more engaging. Sound great over bluetooth but, typical Grado, even better wired. Superb 5* reviews across the web etc. and a big improvement on the previous 2 generations of GW100s Postage will be $14.65 signed for. Condition: Used excellent Payment Method: Paypal
A strong buy: at A$255, this sits well below the A$385 25th percentile and far under the A$394 median of recent AUD comps, so it reads as a genuine bargain rather than merely a fair ask. For a wireless open-back Grado, that’s a notably sharp entry price in the current used market.
What makes it appealing is the GW100x’s easy, lively Grado tuning and the convenience of Bluetooth without losing the brand’s energetic, immediate sound. In excellent condition, the main upside is getting a well-liked daily-driver headphone at a low outlay; just make sure the battery life is still healthy and the original pads/cable/box situation matches what you need, since accessories matter more when you’re buying used.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Grado Labs, a family-owned American audio pioneer, traces its roots to 1953 when Joseph Grado, a former watchmaker and Audio Hall of Famer, founded the company in Brooklyn, New York. Starting in his family's kitchen—once a fruit store—he and his brother John developed the world's first moving coil stereo phono cartridge, patenting it in 1959 and earning a reputation for precision engineering that propelled millions of units into recording studios and homes worldwide. Still handcrafting products in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, under third-generation leadership, Grado embodies enduring Italian-American ingenuity in high-fidelity sound.
The brand focuses primarily on phono cartridges and headphones, categories where it has defined benchmarks for decades. Early ventures included speakers, turntables, and wooden tonearms before concentrating on cartridges in 1963; by the late 1980s, Joseph Grado pioneered high-end dynamic headphones that rivaled top speaker systems in dynamics, pitch control, and bass. Today, iterative lines like the Prestige, Signature, "E," and "X" series deliver open-back designs prized for their natural timbre and detail, all assembled by hand without venturing into amplifiers, DACs, or speakers.
Grado occupies a niche boutique position in the high-end market, revered by audiophiles for its uncompromised, value-driven performance and vintage-inspired warmth. Free from corporate gloss, its handmade Brooklyn products command loyalty among discerning buyers seeking authentic vinyl playback and headphone immersion, blending collector appeal with modern relevance in an era of digital dominance.
