Grado GW100x Wireless Open-Back Headphones with Superior Bluetooth Performance Now Available

Grado's first wireless headphones become even better. Following the announcement of the renewed Wireless headphones featuring fourth generation X series drivers, earlier in 2022, Grado now launched the GW100x Bluetooth open-back headphones – the third model in its wireless series. The GW100 is an unusual open-back Bluetooth model, combining the new X series driver design with a Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.2 wireless module with aptX Adaptive, and improved 46-hour battery life.
 
The new Grado GW100x will appeal first and foremost to anyone that recognizes the quality and value of the brand's products, now redesigned with fourth generation X Drivers that offer superior sound performance. And being a wireless design, the Grado GW100x will be appreciated for its improved 46-hour battery life from a two-hour charge from USB-C, thanks to the low power and low latency Bluetooth 5.2 module that also brings a more robust connection. The Grado GW100x headphones support the standard SBC and AAC audio codecs, but also add aptX Adaptive for high-quality and low latency wireless audio. Enhanced pairing also lets users switch between two devices more efficiently.

This GW100x boasts Grado’s enhanced fourth generation X series driver design which features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. The re-engineering of these components for the brand's 44mm drivers improves the efficiency while reducing distortion and preserves the harmonic integrity of the music. Based on the original GW100 design, the speaker housings and internals have been designed from the ground up, now working in tandem to notably diminish escaping sound by up to 60%. There is a design language that’s seen throughout all Grado headphones since the company’s first ever model was released in 1991. The GW100x continues this seven-decade history, looking like it’s part of the family simply at a glance.

The GW100x will still work in wired mode with the supplied 3.5mm headphone cable, and is lightweight and comfortable, with a padded headband. A perfect choice for long listening sessions, the built-in microphone also makes taking a phone call or getting on a virtual meeting simple. Easy to locate controls on the earpiece offer full functionality, and users also have the ability to control the GW100x from a connected device.

The Grado GW100x headphones are available now, priced at $275, including a USB-C to USB-A cable for charging, and a 3.5mm headphone cable for a wired connection.
