We are Grado Labs, a family-owned American company producing the finest audio products since 1953. Founded by Audio Hall of Famer Joseph Grado, we're known for inventing the moving coil stereo cartridge and pioneering the high-end dynamic headphone. Now in our third generation of family leadership, we still hand-build every product from our modest offices in Brooklyn, NY - the same building our family has owned since 1918. Putting sound first has always been, and always will be, our tradition.
