About the Signature S950
The Grado Labs Signature S950 headphones are part of the new Signature line, succeeding the HP100 SE. They feature hand-crafted Brazilian Walnut shells—the first use of this wood by Grado—paired with newly designed 52mm dynamic 'S' drivers using paper composite cones, high-flux rare earth magnets, and copper-plated aluminum voice coils. This delivers warm highs, relaxed mids, controlled bass, excellent resolution, and precise imaging with drivers matched to 0.04 dB. Open-back design provides a spacious soundstage. Includes detachable Grado Gold cable (73" or 6 ft, 6.3mm termination, 4-pin mini XLR), two earpad sets (G-cushions and F-cushions), padded headband with stainless steel adjustment. Comfortable at 395g for long sessions. Easy to drive, suitable for various amps.
