Grado Reference Series RS2x Headphones

With 4th gen 44mm X drivers and a combination of maple and hemp. Hand assembled in Brooklyn.

Maple meets hemp to provide harmonic colors and a world-renowned mid-range. The sound the woods produce, when combined with Grado's special processes, is full-bodied with a rich vocality.

A family favorite, the RS2x has been completely redesigned to bring out the full potential of its maple and hemp wood. The housing’s sleeve and ring are made from maple, while a hemp core keeps everything together. For decades we’ve used wood for its warm and embracing tonal abilities, and the RS2x is an exceptional evolution to the RS2 line. 

The 44 mm X Driver

The RS2x uses the 44 mm 4th gen X driver which has been specially tuned for the dual-wood housing. The new design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components improves efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music.
