I would have thought a headphone connoisseur would pronounce it like gr-aahhh-doh, but with the (graaaa) part rolled, like "arriiiiba!"

just kidding by the way, I can't roll my words

My mother-in-law is from Rome so maybe I should consult her about this matter. I doubt she would suggest anything with a French emphasis.
Or I can go one step further and visit Sicily....

Russian wife,that must be something to have.

I am Italian, and the correct pronunciation of the italian word "grado" is with an "a" something like "car" in English, no "grey-doh" sound, however since it's a family name, you can just spell it as you please.

Negative.

 

[ldtboyl]

do some people here call Prada as prayda?

 

[volume]

I don't feel so, therefore we rule out GRAYDO

 

[stang]

No we don't. You do. I disagree and will continue to pronounce Grado as "Graydo". You can pronounce it however you wish.

I also pronounce it this way.

I always used to say Graw-Doe and no one at the fancy music shops I'd buy them from corrected me so I assumed I was right. But I called Grado and an elderly sounding woman answered most definitely Gray-Doe labs. I asked if she was close friends with the family and she said they go years back and then I said how I always pronounced it the other way and she said nope 100% confirmation is it's pronounced Gray-Doe.

I actually prefer saying it how I used to but the authority put the kabash on me. I still love them with as much passion.

And there I was thinking that it was pronounced "ger-ay-doh".

I didn’t mean to bring up such an old thread just was looking for threads on Grado and this came up and I wanted to share my encounter with the name confusion. My bad.

I see you have a pair of SR325x’s and SR80x’s as well as myself. I’ve been looking for a thread or spot to discuss the differences as I’ve discovered them unfold and see how others hear it…any suggestions?
