Open-back hi-fi headphones from Grado's Reference series, with mahogany earcups and copper conductors, for enthusiasts of detailed listening.
Description
The Grado RS2x is a hi-fi headphone belonging to the Reference series from the American manufacturer Grado. It follows in the line of open-back headphones with wooden earcups, a signature feature of the brand across several generations of models.
Its earcups are crafted from mahogany, a wood that is worked by hand. The headphones also use copper conductors, a material choice that contributes to the transmission of the audio signal to the transducers.
This type of headphone is aimed at attentive listeners, in a quiet environment, who prefer open-back headphones over a closed-back or portable model. The wooden construction and open design make this model suited to stationary use, connected to a hi-fi system or headphone amplifier, rather than to mobile use.
