Offered is „Grado Statement Series GS1000X GS-1000X High End Kopfhörer aus Demo“ by Grado as exhibit from the category „Wire bound Headphone“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1970989648 ends on 07.11.2026 at 06:09 o'clock.
This €1,169 asking price for the used Grado GS1000x is a clear bargain, sitting well below the typical used market range of roughly €950 to €1,100 and significantly under the new retail price of €1,499. As the GS1000x remains the current flagship with no immediate replacement model, timing is favorable for buyers seeking top-tier performance without paying full new cost.
The GS1000x is highly regarded for its fourth-generation X drivers, which deliver exceptional speed, detail retrieval, and resolution within Grado’s history, paired with a hybrid mahogany and ipe wood housing that enhances warmth. Its 50mm drivers, de-stressed for mahogany warmth, and 12-core annealed copper cable provide a uniquely rich, dynamic sound that few headphones match. For a well-loved, current-generation model at this price, this listing is a genuine buying opportunity.

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.
