Image © majorhifi.comThe Grado PS2000e is a high-end open-back over-ear headphone known for its detailed and honest sound signature, with a comfortable but somewhat heavy design. It improves on the PS1000's issues while retaining a great base sound, though its fit may be loose for some users.
The Grado PS2000e is a wired, open-back flagship headphone that delivers a fast, detailed, and natural sound signature, appealing to both long-time fans and newcomers to the brand. Its 50mm dynamic drivers are easy to drive, yet the headphone benefits from high-quality sources and amplification to fully shine. While built with premium materials and offering strong dynamics, its high price, open design, and unconventional aesthetics limit its appeal to dedicated audiophiles.
