About this item

The Grado Signature S550 brings the core values of the Signature Line into a more streamlined and approachable form. Designed for listeners who prioritize musical engagement as much as technical performance, the S550 delivers clarity, balance, and energy suited for extended listening without fatigue. At its core is Grado’s 50mm S2 dynamic driver, engineered for a balanced presentation with speed and clarity. The driver is housed in a hand-crafted Brazilian Walnut enclosure, contributing warmth and natural resonance to the overall presentation. The S550 features a detachable Signature Silver cable connected via 4-pin balanced mini XLR, allowing for cable replacement and alternative terminations. A refined headband design with genuine leather and contrasting white stitching distributes weight evenly for long-term comfort. Ships with B Cushions, with compatibility for S, F, L, and G alternatives. Assembled in Brooklyn, New York.
