Grado
GH4 Open Back Headphones
The Grado GH4 headphones offer a captivating audio experience, featuring driver housings crafted from Norwegian Pine for a rich, warm sound. They present an energetic yet accurate low end with excellent detail and control, avoiding bleed or distortion. The midrange is full and detailed, with good tonal accuracy and separation, reminiscent of the RS2e. While the highs are slightly bright and vibrant, they avoid becoming shrill, though they may roll off at the very top. The soundstage is expansive, offering impressive depth and space, especially with larger earpads. These open-back headphones are ideal for audiophiles seeking precision and natural warmth.
