Know before you buy
The open-back design allows air to pass through the earcups, which prevents pressure buildup and results in a more natural, expansive soundstage. Because they are open, sound will leak out and ambient noise will come in, making them best suited for quiet environments rather than noisy commutes.
Yes, the S750 features a detachable cable system that uses a 4-pin balanced mini XLR connection. This makes it easy to replace the cable if it becomes damaged or to upgrade to a custom balanced cable.
The S750 features a refined leather headband and the new B cushion design, which positions the driver closer to your ear to improve airflow. While they are built with a sturdy aluminum housing, the ergonomic design is intended to balance durability with comfort for extended use.
With an impedance of 38 ohms and high sensitivity, these headphones are relatively easy to drive. While they will work with most standard devices, using a dedicated headphone amplifier or high-quality DAC will help you get the most out of the 50mm S2 driver.
These headphones are designed with a folding mechanism, making them more compact for storage than traditional Grado models. While they are built for durability, the open-back design and premium materials mean they are best kept in a protective case when traveling.
No, the S750 does not feature active noise cancellation. They rely on the physical design of the open-back earcups and the fit of the B cushions to provide an authentic, high-fidelity audio experience.
