Grado Labs Launches Limited Edition Bushmills x Grado Labs Headphone

Friendship, music and whiskey have converged in an unprecedented new way at the Brooklyn HQ of Grado Labs.

This NYC audio hotspot has distilled – and just launched – the limited edition Bushmills x Grado Labs headphones. Designed by none other than acclaimed actor Elijah Wood and LA music maven Zach Cowie, these gorgeous-to-behold headphones are crafted from recycled white oak bodies from the wood of old barrels from Bushmills Distillery in Ireland.

Drink in every aspect of the new Bushmills x Grado Labs model.

Over-engineering was NOT allowed in the design, which retains Grado’s trademark sound and feature a vented back design — representing a first in Grado headphone history. They also sport a custom brown leather headband, with a wooden outer box.

These intoxicating headphones sell for $395. The first run sold out in one day, but visitors to this page can sign up for an email alert if/when the next shipment arrives. PLUS, five more pairs are up for grabs: visit the Giveaway’s FB page to enter by December 9th.
