Grado Sound Now Truly Wireless
Renowned Brooklyn-based headphone maker, Grado Labs, has entered the true wireless earbud arena.
Grado has announced its GT220 true wireless in-ear headphones, its first offering into this particular market. Naturally, the New York company is no stranger to quality personal audio and proudly states that its tradition of putting sound first still stands in this lightweight design.
The GT220 earbuds sport 8mm drivers tuned for their miniature polycarbonate housings to deliver Grado's much-loved sonic signature and a claimed 20Hz-20KHz frequency response.
Each earbud weighs a featherweight 5g and comes with a choice of silicone ear tips and an innovative "twist to lock" movement that ensures a secure fit.
Battery life is a boast-worthy 6-hours with the GT220's Qi charging case adds a further five complete charges bringing the total playing time to 36 hours. Once they're low on go-juice, two hours fully replenish an empty tank using the bundled USB-C cable. You can also take advantage of Qi-compatible charging mats.
Control is via the touch-sensitive 'G' icon, and the GT220 earbuds are also compatible with Siri and Google Assistant.
With the latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology and aptX and AAC codecs on board, the GT220 should provide a stable wireless connection and high-quality audio from your favourite hi-res services.
The Grado GT220 true wireless earbuds are available now priced £249.95.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
