The open-back, on-ear design promise a frequency range of 14Hz-29kHz and the large diaphragms include rare earth metals including gold wire for maximum definition.

Grado’s UK distributor, Armour Home, says the new model offers “nearly all the performance of the £1,835 PS1000 at not much more than one third of its price”.

The PS500 shares the hybrid construction of the company’s PS1000 flagship headphones, with an inner sleeve of hand-crafted mahogany and a tough outer housing made from an extremely hard metal alloy.

Grado says the metal casing receives a special treatment to increase its porosity, so that there’s less chance of ‘ringing’ which might obscure detail or add coloration.

The PS500 will be available in silver and black from mid-October for around £700.
