Description

This is a premium tone-wood clad with metal alloy over-ear open back DIY kit built by Earphone DIY Labs inspired by Grado PS1000e, a $1,700 premium price product, and the finest wooden + aluminum alloy cups we have ever made. The EDL PS1000e is an open-backed design to give audio professionals the security of consistent response throughout the frequency range. Also the cups look shinning and awesome!

Note the kit works with most original Grado headphone headbands perfectly, from low-end SR60 to SR225 series. Of cause it works best with genuine leather headbands in GS and PS series.

Know about Grado Labs PS1000e

Grado Labs PS1000e got 5/5 all star rating on What’s Hi-Fi (Review):

The PS1000es are an open-backed design of course, because that’s what Grado has always favoured. Even the company’s brand new wireless offerings, the GW100s, follow the same principle. That’s a surprising engineering choice for such a product when you consider the amount of environmental sound that gets in, let alone the almost unhindered way the music being played leaks out.

There’s an upside though, and it’s a big one. An open-backed design does away with the enclosure behind the drive unit and, with it, all the resonances and reflections that are part and parcel of such a configuration. The result, all things considered, should be a better, more articulate sound – on paper at least.

The earpieces on the PS1000es use an inner core made of handcrafted, specially cured mahogany, while the outer housing is made of chrome-plated aluminium. The combination of the two materials results in a well-damped, low resonance platform for the new 50mm drive unit to work from.

Grado’s engineers have worked hard on this driver, refining the voice coil and diaphragm to improve responsiveness and accuracy…
