Image © GradoGrado’s All New Signature S950 Headphones: Premium Sound in a Hand Crafted Brazilian Walnut Shell! Grado Labs, world-renowned designer and manufacturer of award-winning headphones, announces the release of its latest open-back headphone, the Signature S950. Building on the success of the recently released HP100 SE, the Signature S950 is the second headphone to become part of the new Signature line.
The Grado Signature S950 is a premium open-back dynamic headphone with a neutral-leaning, highly detailed sound signature. It offers a spacious, immersive soundstage and crisp treble, though its bass is not especially deep and its midrange can be slightly recessed. With a lightweight build, detachable cable, and high sensitivity, it's easy to drive from a variety of sources, making it a polished choice for critical listening.

4 source(s) feeding this product's score.
Video reviews we found, each condensed to its verdict. They do feed the HearWiki score, at a measured weight below what a published written review carries.
10:27The reviewer finds the Grado Signature S950 headphones to be highly analytical and detail-focused, with a forward, immediate presentation that accentuates the music's core elements. While this makes them ideal for listeners who want to catch every nuance, the sound can be edgy and lacks the balanced, spacious quality of competitors like the Sennheiser HD 650 or HD 800. The reviewer ultimately recommends them for those who prefer an 'accuracy in extremis' approach.
