It's not a term you often hear mentioned in my part of the world.

I've gotta know before my HF-1's arrive!!!

It's Gray-do.

You can search on the interview with John Grado post. Unfortunately, a common misconception is to pronounce it "Grah-doh" which is incorrect.

"grah-doe" is the correct pronounciation of the NAME "grado" (in italian i think).

however, the grado family call their product "gray-doe" and thus when refering to the product it's "gray-doe"

Gra"h"-do is the correct pronounciation

Only americans say Gra"y"do, but who can blame them, they don´t know better

Jeez...do people actually have to argue this point every month or two? There's nothing to argue, we should pronounce it like John and Joe pronounce it. If they said it "Say-tan" we'd just have to get used to that, too.

It’s been Grado (Gray-Doe) as long as I’ve known of them. That is since the mid-70’s

Why does this topic continue to pop up?

 

[cheechoz]

It's gray-do, I asked them at grado labs in brooklyn.

I live next to Grado labs in Brooklyn, they say "Gray"-do. Maybe they don't know any better either.

 

[Chri5peed]

More importantly how do people pronounce 'Sennheiser'?

Lol, I say it completely wrong, 'Sign how-zer', but I 'think' its more accurate to go with 'Zen hi-zer'?

Not going to change, thats how I've always said it, same as 'Grey-doh'.

 

[Veniogenesis]

I pronounce it "Grah-do" and "Cen hi zer". I had it wrong for all this time?
