Extensive noise leakage ; Mediocre battery life ; Poor call quality

Audio purists who want rich sound and reliable comfort in a no-frills package should seek out the Grado GW100.

Great sub-bass tone and impact ; Top quality stereo imaging ; Classic Grado elements are here

Sound a little soft and safe compared to some older models ; A lot of sound leakage ; Mildly flawed Bluetooth reception

The Grado GW100 are a great sounding pair of wireless headphones, but not all that practical to use if you're outside. With their open nature they don't block out much sound and are plenty leaky, making the addition of wireless connectivity less useful.

Clean, transparent, lively sound ; Solid, compact build ; Foolproof operation

A touch bright-sounding ; No in-line remote ; Poor battery life

Grado's first pair of wireless headphones is truly excellent, but won't be for everyone

Fantastic audio quality ; Cool retro design ; Comfortable

Heavy sound leakage ; Slightly flimsy build

The Grado GW100s sound stunning, with a wide, warm soundstage, but they won’t work for commuting or listening in communal areas.
