About the Grado Signature S950 Open-Back Headphones

The Signature Line is Grado’s high-end range. Every model has a detachable cable and an updated Signature headband, and the line grew out of the HP100 SE. The S950 was the second Signature model and the first Grado to use Brazilian walnut.

Each walnut housing is made individually, so no two pairs have identical grain, and at 395 g it stays comfortable for long sessions. The headband has 50% more padding than earlier Grado designs and a stainless-steel band with adjustable rods. Both G and F cushions are supplied so you can choose the sound you prefer.

The open-back design gives a wide, airy sound and lets some sound leak, so this is a headphone for home. Pair it with a high-quality headphone amplifier or DAC.

Genuine UK stock from an authorised Grado dealer. Not sure which pair suits your amplifier or your music? Ask us and we will help you choose. See our audio and video work.
