Jaw-dropping sound ; They make you feel like a king ; Superb build quality

Jaw-dropping price ; They make you look like a bit of an idiot ; Very heavy

The Grado PS1000 is one of the most expensive pairs of headphones you'll find, but it's also one of the best. Powerful bass, wonderfully subtle-but-intense levels of detail and an incredible soundstage make this pair an unbridled joy to listen to, no...

Pwerful ; effortlessly dynamic ; the midrange detail is superb ; beautifully built

Everyone else will be listening with you

They justify their price with a simply astonishing sound. Headphones can't get much better than this

Tonally neutral to an extent most headphones and speakers only dream of, with detail to die for and effortless dynamics: revealing and involving in equal, large, measure

The combination of weight and rather hard headband can make long-term wearer comfort a serious issue

Differences between this model and other top headphones are really more a question of taste than of quality, which is undeniably high. Strongly recommended for audition: be prepared for a shock!

The PS1000s may not be the best headphones on every count — the Sennheiser HD 800s are more comfortable and offer a sound that's arguably a tad more "accurate" — but they're definitely the best Grado headphones ever made.

They may cost as much as a big-screen TV, but the PS1000s are simply the best-sounding, most comfortable, and best-looking Grado headphones we've ever tested.

KitGuru says: Astonishing sound quality, and it won't cause you to remortgage the house either.
