Product Information
A classic by name and nature, the Grado RS1 Classic headphones remain a top choice for natural sound at their price point.
A Grado classic
The RS1 was first launched over three decades ago and was the first wooden driver-housed headphones from the company. Refined over the years, the RS1 Classic now encapsulates decades of continual improvements, making them more of an engaging listen than ever. Constructed from a tri-wood, Cocobolo, hemp and maple housing, each material contributes a unique acoustic property. Beautifully damped yet supremely lifelike, the beguiling sound will soon have you hooked.
New 50mm X2 driver
Larger than the models below, the RS1 Classic features 50mm drivers for deeper bass and stronger dynamics. The Classic generation of the RS1 gets the latest X2 Series drivers for improved consistency, control, and refinement. Built around a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil and rare earth magnetic system, they deliver weight, midrange clarity and strong musical presence.
Signature Gold assembly with leather headband
The RS1 Classic features the Signature Gold headband assembly. Featuring engraved aluminium alloy gimbals, stainless steel height rods, and reinforced aluminium junction blocks, it provides the ultimate durability and controlled alignment. A genuine leather headband with contrasting white stitching enhances the style and feel, while the internal steel spring band allows listeners to easily adjust clamping pressure.
Signature Silver cable
Supplied with Grado’s Signature Silver cable in a fixed configuration, the wired connection is durable, resistant to interference and provides a low resistance link for sparkling sound. With reduced weight and improved flexibility compared with earlier designs, it’s more comfortable in use.
Durable design
Built simple and tough, the RS1 Classics make the ideal headphones for a life on the move. Folding earpieces make the headphones easy to pack once you’ve arrived at your destination.
Hand-built in Brooklyn
Each pair of RS1 Classic headphones is hand-built in Brooklyn. With a history that stretches right back to 1953, the company is still run by the Grado family, giving continuity to the product design and style. Evolution rather than revolution has kept the Grado headphones at the peak of their game and top of their class.
Experience Classic Grado sound, with the best-sounding RS1 headphones to date.
