Grado Labs is a Brooklyn based headphone company and they specialize in cool open-back headphones in a wide range of prices. The eGrado is a specifically unique headphone because of its lightweight and portable design.

The eGrado headphone is so light and stylish that a major airline even uses them on select flights. And as with all Grado headphones, the sound is spectacular. All Grado headpones are open-back however, which means you’ll be sharing your music with anyone in your vicinity.
