This new headphone incorporates a redesigned
driver, a new and larger wooden housing and much
larger foam cushions that are extremely
comfortable.
Grado's new cushion design actually creates a room
for the ears to sit, creating a larger soundstage and
greater spatial experience for the listener. It was
most important to design the correct balance between
the driver and our new wooden driver housing to give
us the resulting sound that we desired. This has been
accomplished. By creating this oom for the ears to
sit, positioning of the cushions with regards to the
ears (i.e., forward or back) is somewhat critical in
finding the absolute sweet spot.
