Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

General:
One of the most sought after and best performing vintage headphones. 

Handmade by Joe Grado himself, this is quite a rare and legendary pair of classic headphones.

Only 1,000 Grade HP-1000 Series headphones were ever made, with even fewer "HP-1" sub-models produced.

The Grade HP-1000 Series includes the "HP-1" with polarity reversal switches, the "HP-"2 without switches, and the "HP-3" which is a “downgraded” version. 

This particular pair also comes with its original box which is a nice addition to these very collectible Grado cans.

SkyFi Cosmetic Notes:
This pair of headphones shows some wear on the leather headband. The silkscreen lettering has some issues on the L / R indications. The lettering on the earpieces was almost completely missing, and we opted to remove what little remained of the original lettering. The HP-1000 series number can still be seen lightly, but it is no longer colored red.

SkyFi Technical Notes:
The cable on the headphones is approximately 6ft in length.

Brand Background:
Founded in Brooklyn, NY, Grado Labs has been perfecting the art of sonic reproduction through headphones and cartridges since 1953. Through three generations the family has kept the tradition of putting sound first.
