Great product, best quality.

Gorgeous sound is what you need, loud, works well at a distance from the source, I did not check further 5 meters. Comfortable pillows. The battery charge lasts for a long time, I have enough for 3 days.

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

3 buttons, easy to read by touch: 1. On/Off + Pause, 2-3. Volume + Track. The sound of the GW100 is thoroughbred, its own. Stock price $250. Minus DAC, amplifier, battery ., therefore, they do not sound like SR225. When using in wireless mode, you should pay attention to whether the source supports the correct BT codecs such as aptX / AAC. The sound with them is strikingly different for the better. Ear pads can be changed to L-Cush, although the landing diameter of the GW100 is slightly larger…

Pros
  • The sound is at the level of junior SRs in my opinion. The battery holds a charge for a long time. Allows wired connection. There is a built-in microphone, ie. they can be used as a headset.
Cons
  • In V1 with micro-USB charging, the plug is held insecurely, plus not every wire will fit - the connector is somewhat recessed into the case. No ANC (Active noise control).

Great wireless headphones/birthday present

My wife bought this for me as a birthday present. The sound quality is really great, I'm very impressed. Lightweight and made of plastic, but the sound quality is more than worth the price.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Very expensive

piss off! No Grado tone signature!

I was surprised at how bad the Grado headphones sounded. I've heard that these wireless headphones for the SR80 and SR225 have nothing to do with Grado's sound signature. The heavy bass, harsh highs and mids just disappeared. They were probably made for Bose and Beats Heads.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Reliability

Sounds amazing! via headphones

I ordered both Grado GW100 and Sony 1000xm4 and will return Sony. Don't get me wrong, the Sony's were great, but the sound of the GW100 is amazing. Yes, they look cheap because they don't weigh anything, but they wear well and the sound is so open and clear. The battery seems really good, still at 100% after two days of listening, probably 2-3 hours. The only thing that could be improved in my opinion is the build quality, they are well built, just feel like a toy.

Pros
  • sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • speed

Great sound and comfort, a bit overpriced

Tried many different headphones. These are the best non-noise-cancelling open-back headphones. I was initially concerned about audio leakage, but that's not an issue. Super convenient, great sound and long battery life, charging via USB C and BT 5.0. My only complaint is the notification that the headphones are plugged in and/or unplugged. Too loud and obnoxious, but not enough to confuse her. They feel slightly overpriced. I think less than $199 is closer to what it should be. In any case, the

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Long delivery time

First off, I expected these headphones to be pretty light ("weak") , as some say), and they are; I was really looking forward to that aspect and thought they would be very comfortable. However, the sound was terrible, worse than any of my cheap BT headphones. The real comparison, however, was with a pair of HIFIMAN Devas. There is no competition at all. Grados sound tinny and cheap. It's not even worth commenting on the different frequencies. Coming back to the seizure: Grados sat on my ears a…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Big and chunky

I'm not new to the audio world and I know what I'm looking for, so "OPEN BACK" with bluetooth with a unique sound that doesn't belong to Sennheiser, AKGS, Bayer, Audio Technia, BW, Sony and more from an endless list of 99.999% open-back headphones, from low to high. So to compare this to other Bluetooth devices - Sony WH/WF XM3 - I also have both. The GW100 V2 literally ran great for less than a week. In terms of audio quality it tops the Sony WHXm3s and has names - remember this is an open…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Good but not great

Avoid problems with headphones

tl;dr: They're great when they work. But in 8 months I had actually spoiled two of them. I've had two pairs of these headphones in the past 8 months. In short, for the first couple, they stopped taking responsibility. They turn on and off but don't charge and keep beeping "low battery" no matter what charger or cable I plug them into. I contacted Grado regarding this and was told my only option was to send them in and pay for the required service as the warranty had expired. It didn't sound…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Incredible headphone sound

Absolutely beats other headphones I've tried in terms of sound quality including the HD 660S, DT 1990 Pro and Sundara. Regardless of the quirks/faults, they are worth 5 stars. Pros: - Sound quality, sound quality and sound quality. (UPDATE) Thought I'd add one more thing to this pro since I've had them for a long time. The highs are a little quieter, maybe a little warm, neutral but still quite clear. The mids are the bomb and the strings are to die for. I really can't believe the clarity and…
