Grado Headphone Recabling & Balanced Conversion Service
What is the Grado Headphone Modding Service?
Grado headphones have a devoted modding community — and for good reason. The stock Grado cable is one of the weakest points of an otherwise exceptional headphone, and replacing it unlocks a noticeably more dynamic, more detailed, and more controlled sound. Beyond recabling, Grado's relatively accessible internal design also makes balanced conversion a popular and worthwhile upgrade for owners of powerful balanced amplifiers.
Headgear Audio's Grado Modding Service is a professional recabling and modification service carried out in our Mumbai workshop. We handle the full process — from inspecting your headphone on arrival, to desoldering the stock cable, fitting a new cable or the Leo Copper upgrade, and testing the finished result before returning it to you. The mod is carried out by experienced audio engineers who work on Grado headphones regularly.
Send us your Grado, choose your cable and termination, and we'll return it transformed — ready to plug into your single-ended or fully balanced amplifier.
