Its 52 mm dynamic driver and G cushions are designed to provide deep bass extension, substantial dynamic headroom, and an expansive sense of scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X2 dynamic driver uses a Mylar diaphragm, copper voice coil, and rare-earth magnet system engineered for efficiency and dynamic control. Grado’s tuning is intended to improve balance, resolution, and low-frequency control while preserving the lively character associated with the company’s open-air headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCocobolo and Aluminum Housings\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GS3000 pairs a cocobolo outer housing with a precision-machined aluminum inner insert. According to Grado, the dense cocobolo contributes warmth, depth, and natural resonance, while the aluminum insert adds structural rigidity and helps control internal resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining the two materials allows the housing to balance the tonal character of wood with the stability and precision of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSignature Gold Headband Assembly\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GS3000 uses Grado’s Signature Gold headband assembly, the company’s most refined mechanical platform within the Classic Series. Engraved aluminum-alloy gimbals, stainless steel height rods, and reinforced aluminum junction blocks improve structural stability and durability while maintaining controlled earcup rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA genuine leather headstrap with contrasting white stitching provides cushioning, while an internal steel spring band lets you adjust the clamping pressure. The GS3000 uses a wider headstrap to distribute the weight of its larger housings more evenly and improve stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGold Cable and G Cushions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GS3000 is supplied with Grado’s Gold cable, developed to support the 52 mm driver platform while maintaining signal integrity and flexibility. It is available with either Grado’s standard connector or an optional XLR termination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GS3000 is supplied with G cushions, which position the drivers farther from the ears to increase perceived soundstage width and dimensionality. Because Grado’s cushions also act as acoustic tuning elements, they can be changed to alter the fit, tonal balance, and presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e52 mm X2 dynamic drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMylar diaphragms, copper voice coils, and rare-earth magnet systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen-air operating principle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCocobolo outer housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined aluminum inner inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignature Gold headband assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngraved aluminum-alloy gimbals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel height rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced aluminum junction blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide genuine leather headstrap with contrasting white stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable internal steel spring band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrado Gold cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard or optional XLR termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eG cushions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTransducer Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Dynamic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOperating Principle:\u003c\/b\u003e Open air\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEar Cushions:\u003c\/b\u003e G cushions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHousing:\u003c\/b\u003e Cocobolo with a precision-machined aluminum inner insert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadband Assembly:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCable:\u003c\/b\u003e Grado Gold cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnector Options:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard or XLR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDriver Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 52 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequency Response:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 Hz–51 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSPL (1 mW):\u003c\/b\u003e 99.8 dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNominal Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 38 ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDriver Matching:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.05 dB\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53765979013304,"sku":"GS3000","price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/GS32000-004.jpg?v=1785435602","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.com\/products\/grado-statement-series-gs3000x2-headphones","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
