This is assuming the the PS-1 has the same sonic "signature" or lack there of of the HP-2. I will say however that as far as I can see by examining the pics of the PS-1, I am not too impressed with the build quality. The hex into round plastic did not impress me on the RS-1, and will not impress me on the PS-1. Although a minor point, I am impressed with the engraved lettering on the PS-1.

I'm not completely clear anymore on whether it's engraving or paint. EyePod posted that it can be removed, so it may be a painted logo that looks like engraving in certain light. OTOH, the grip mechanism of the PS-1 (and RS-1) is far superior to the HP-1000, IMO. That headphone you're always tightening screws, which are always loosening (and falling out completely). The PS-1 moves into position and stays there. It may look cheaper, but it works better. The metal chambers speak for themselves.
