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.
