GS300X

Leo from Sarasota, FL on 9/3/2022

Have had my pair for the last 3 weeks or so. Well over a hundred hours on them. I've had most all of the standard production Grado headphones at one time or another. Never had a GS series though until now. Oh my gosh. These are incredible. I've seen reviewers talk about timbre but never really understood what that meant. I sure do now. The music is perfectly balanced from the bass to the treble. It's one continuous blended range. These have more bass than any other Grado I've heard. It's tight, well controlled, and deep. Perfect for my taste. There is a well developed 3D soundstage (right/left, Up/down, forward/backward). They sound very "airy" in a way I've not experienced previously. Instrument separation is very clear. They are a warmer sounding headphone (at least with my setup and an OTL Tube amp). I don't hear any shrillness, that some of the other Grado models have. They have a new, wider headband that increases in the comfort level, from my perspective. I highly recommend these. I like them so much I'm selling most of my other Grado's, as well as some of my other high-end Headphones from other manufacturers. Leo

Pros: Timbre Bass Treble Construction

Cons: No detachable cables (an age old complaint)

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
