The Grado PS2000e is an open-air, over-ear headphone featuring 50 mm dynamic drivers, hand-crafted maple inner chambers, and a metal-alloy outer housing. Its published specifications include a 5 Hz–50 kHz frequency response, 99.8 dB SPL sensitivity, and 32-ohm nominal impedance. The permanently attached cable is approximately 78 inches long and terminates in a 3.5 mm plug, with a 6.35 mm adapter included. Its open-back design is intended for spacious, detailed listening but provides little isolation and allows sound leakage. The PS2000e uses Grado’s padded leather headband and weighs approximately 24.7 ounces.
