GRADO GW100X

GRADO GW 100X new version 5.2 46-hour battery life

Grado Labs brings its tradition of acoustic quality and construction technique to the field of wireless audio, building the first and only open Bluetooth headphones (Open-Back). With this new series, Grado embraces a rapidly growing segment of the headphone market, but, as is the custom of the Brooklyn company, the approach remains "audiophile": ease of use must not be at the expense of performance, a choice that favors those users who do not intend to give up the proverbial sound quality of Grado products even in those conditions of use that are traditionally seen as the antithesis of true hi-fi. A listen is worth a thousand words... those who know the extraordinary naturalness, linearity, cleanliness and timbre coherence of Grado headphones will find the same genetic imprint in the new wireless model and the absence of connection cables will constitute a further and convincing element to appreciate their use. GW100 - The new benchmark in wireless listening All the features that have made Grado famous in the audio world are present, only the cable is missing..... Thanks to the adoption of the same type of transducers used in the wired models, the result of experience gained in decades of design and construction, it has been possible to create a listening tool that combines comfort and performance, without the care of one aspect having to compromise on the other.

Everything has been optimized for the reproductive and functional particularity of a wireless headphone, therefore not only the purely acoustic aspect, which follows paths already widely tested by Grado (choice of materials, choice of transducer and acoustic adaptation to its container), but also all the electronic equipment, a real novelty of the creation, which allows coupling and communication with the source devices, manages the optimal transmission to the acoustic part of the headphone as well as the purely electrical aspects that include the rechargeable batteries and their activity (autonomy, recharging).

The adoption of the apt-X Codec for Bluetooth v.5.2 wireless communication enhances the quality of the acoustic construction of the headphones, offering them, in terms of performance, the best system available for wireless audio. The provision of a microphone allows the user to operate in telephone conversation where the paired device is a smartphone. Someone exclaimed: "It's about time!". Yes, why give up the convenience of the absence of connection cables, to preserve the enjoyment of quality listening? The answer has once again come from Grado, it's called GW100x, hi-fi and freedom.
