One of our favorite wired headphone makers is back with a new Signature set, and I want them

  • New S2 driver for even more sonic subtlety
  • New Grado B Cushion for improved comfort and acoustic performance
  • Lightweight and comfortable for long listening

Grado makes some of the best wired headphones (and as our Grado SR80x review proves, they don’t always have to drain your wallet) although its Signature models are both incredibly attractive over-ears. And now there’s a third model in the Signature range, the Grado S750.

The headline features here are a newly engineered 50mm driver and a completely new ear cushion design, both of which have been made with improved audio in mind. And there are a host of refinements that should make these even more comfortable than their predecessors.

Grado Signature S750: key features and pricing

The S2 driver has been redesigned with a carbon fiber and paper composite diaphragm and a lightweight copper aluminum voice coil. The headphones have a nominal impedance of 38 ohms and deliver a frequency range from a low 6Hz to an airy 46kHz.

In addition to the newly engineered driver there are also new ear cushions, and their design isn’t just about comfort. They shorten the distance between your ear and the drivers and feature eight precision-cut slits to improve airflow and open up the soundstage. Grado says they deliver a “distinct new feel” and reduce fatigue during longer listening sessions.

The new cushions come as standard on the S750, but you’ll also be able to buy them separately. They’re compatible with all current Grado wired headphones.

The S750 are lighter than their predecessors, coming in at 460g – 10% lighter than the HP100 SE – and they have a slightly narrower but more deeply padded leather headband. The construction is aluminium and as with other Signatures the cables are detachable.

The S750 cable is a six-foot, gold braided cable that connects via 4-pin balanced mini XLR and terminates in a 6.35mm single-ended plug. Grado will release more cables and offer more terminator options shortly.
