Grado GW100x

These headphones bring a rare, airy soundstage to wireless listening, delivering the kind of natural detail usually reserved for wired studio gear. The open-back design means you’ll hear everything with incredible clarity, but keep them for quiet spaces—they leak sound just as easily as they let it in.
