The Grado Signature S750 Headphones represent the next chapter in Grado Labs’ tradition of high-fidelity craftsmanship and sound excellence. As the newest addition to the Signature Line, the S750 builds upon the legacy of the award-winning HP100 SE and S950 models. It introduces a completely redesigned S2 50mm driver and a newly developed cushion system for greater comfort and acoustic precision.
Designed and hand-assembled in Brooklyn, New York, each pair of S750 headphones reflects decades of engineering expertise and a dedication to musical authenticity. With these headphones, Grado continues to redefine what is possible in dynamic, open-air headphone design, combining heritage craftsmanship with new technologies to deliver sound that is natural, engaging, and profoundly detailed.
Precision S2 Driver for Exceptional Sound
At the core of the Grado Signature S750 Headphones lies the new S2 driver, a 50mm transducer engineered from the ground up to deliver unmatched sonic performance. The carbon fiber and paper composite diaphragm ensures a perfect balance between stiffness and responsiveness, while the lightweight copper-plated aluminum voice coil provides clarity and low distortion.
This driver captures the full emotional depth of every recording, offering a dynamic range that is both powerful and controlled. Designed to maintain the natural tonal balance that defines Grado’s signature sound, the S2 driver enhances texture and realism across all genres. From delicate acoustic passages to intense orchestral or electronic layers, the S750 ensures that every nuance of the music is faithfully reproduced.
Enhanced Cable System and Connection Options
The Grado Signature S750 Headphones continue the Signature Line’s tradition of versatility with an improved detachable cable system. The supplied six-foot cable features the Signature Gold braided design, which is softer, lighter, and more durable than previous generations. Its enhanced insulation minimizes interference and provides excellent flexibility for home and studio use.
Each cable connects securely to the headphone housing via a four-pin balanced mini XLR connector, offering compatibility with current and future detachable Grado cables. Users can easily customize their setup with optional cables that include balanced XLR and 4.4mm terminations, providing tailored performance for a wide variety of audio sources. This design ensures long-term reliability and flexibility for both professional and personal listening environments.
Introducing the New B Cushion Design
Debuting with the Grado Signature S750 Headphones is the innovative B cushion, designed to improve both comfort and acoustic performance. This new cushion shortens the distance between the driver and the ear, creating a more intimate listening experience with precise tonal balance. The interior pocket is slightly smaller, optimizing airflow and enhancing the sense of space within the soundstage.
Eight precision-engineered slits further refine ventilation, improving stereo imaging and maintaining clarity. The flat surface distributes pressure more evenly across the ear, reducing fatigue during long listening sessions. Compatible with all current Grado wired headphones, the B cushion introduces a new dimension of comfort and sound quality. It represents Grado’s ongoing commitment to both listener satisfaction and acoustic excellence.
Craftsmanship, Comfort, and Durability
Every component of the Grado Signature S750 Headphones has been meticulously crafted for longevity and comfort. The aluminum housings are machined and hand-assembled in Brooklyn, combining strength with reduced weight at only 460 grams. The narrower leather headband retains generous padding for all-day comfort, while stainless steel height rods and engraved aluminum gimbals enhance stability and durability.
Reinforced aluminum junction blocks and a limited 105-degree rotation improve mechanical reliability without sacrificing flexibility. Each pair embodies Grado’s commitment to detail, ensuring lasting performance and comfort. Founded in 1953, Grado Labs continues to craft headphones by hand, passing each model through multiple workbenches before it reaches the listener. The Signature S750 is the result of over seven decades of refinement, innovation, and passion for pure sound.
