The New York headphone company Grado is expanding its portfolio and offers its first true wireless model with the GT220, which now wants to conjure up the familiar Grado sound in your ears completely wirelessly.
Thus, the midrange reproduction is supposed to be neutral and musical without any coloration, while the bass is supposed to be more pronounced. The high-frequency reproduction is natural and without any sharpness, it is said.
With Bluetooth 5.0 and support for AAC and aptX codecs as well as voice assistants, the in-ear is on the cutting edge. Media and call management is of course done via touch sensors.
Play time is said to be around 36 hours, including the extra charge of the charging case. The GT220s are supposed to play for around six hours with a single charging cycle, and the case is able to charge the small earbuds up to five times. You can recharge via USB-C or wirelessly via Qi.
The Grado GT220s cost around 260 US dollars and can be pre-ordered in the US now. It is not yet known when they will be available in German-speaking countries.
