about grado labs
Grado Labs has been handcrafting high-fidelity headphones and phono cartridges in Brooklyn, New York since 1953. The family-owned company operates from a single building in Brooklyn, where each product is still assembled by hand, reflecting a commitment to traditional audio engineering. Grado's catalog includes both dynamic and open-back headphone designs, along with a full range of moving magnet and moving coil cartridges for vinyl enthusiasts. The brand maintains complete control over its manufacturing process, with every component inspected and assembled in-house, allowing for the consistent quality that has defined the company across multiple generations of audio craftsmanship.
