Grado
Grado Labs was founded in 1953 by audio legend Joseph Grado, inventor of the stereo moving coil phono cartridge. Today Grado makes world-renowned hand-built headphones and phono cartridges. This three generation family-owned company still operates out of its original Brooklyn location, led by owner John Grado, who’s joined by sons Jonathan, VP of Marketing, and Matthew, VP of Operations. The company has been called “the finest electricity-to-sound transducer in the world,” and sound remains the company’s top priority.
