This page offers replacement parts for the Grado GT220 true wireless earbuds, including a charging case and individual left or right earbuds. The GT220 is a discontinued model known for its balanced soundstage and simple controls, without active noise cancellation.
The HearWiki takeAI-condensed
The Grado GT220 true wireless earbuds prioritize a lively, open sound signature that reflects the brand's audiophile heritage, wrapped in a lightweight and comfortable fit. They offer a solid six-hour battery per charge with a total of 36 hours via the case, support aptX, AAC, and SBC codecs, and include IPX4 splash resistance plus wireless charging. However, their feature set is deliberately minimal—no ANC, transparency mode, app support, or multipoint—making them a niche pick for listeners who value pure sound over modern conveniences.

- Lightweight and comfortable for extended listening

- Feature set is basic with no companion app or EQ

12:37Grado GT220 review: Better than Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2?
The reviewer finds the Grado GT220 earbuds to have excellent sound quality, particularly in the mid-range and highs, with a warm, bassy signature that suits rock music. However, they are let down by poor call quality, a bulky case, limited features like no noise cancellation or app support, and touch controls that are less intuitive. Despite these flaws, the reviewer considers them the best-sounding true wireless earbuds they've tested, even edging out the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 in overall sound, but notes they are not for everyone due to the compromises.
