I haven't heard anything from TTVJ, regarding my GH-1. Who did you order yours from, Joseph?.

I ordered mine from Overture Audio, and they called me this afternoon and told me they're shipped mine out (as we were speaking) and to expect my GH-1 delivery this Tuesday.

Hey Eric510,
Congratz on the GH1.
Just want to confirm with you no protrusion on the drivers on the ear side, are they flush with wood housing?
Also can see the red painted drivers with black blob
Enjoy them...
Edit :Joseph can't wait to read your thoughts opinions and comparisons

CRAP! I wanted to run down and try to listen to them, unbeknownst to you joseph69, before they sent them out!

Interesting thanks.
Looking forward to more impressions.
Is there any info about the drivers floating around? Same driver as in the RS2e?
Also would love to read some comparisons, especially with the GS1000i/e.
Every time Grado announces something new, its worth a celebration.

Initially, I thought I'd prefer the tan band also but... The wood is VERY light in color. Not sure it would've matched well with the GS1Ke band.

Yeah, I can't wait to hear them…after some burn-in I'll post my impressions.

Glad their back, but where were they?
I asked Tom at OA if he had the chance to demo them, but he said they didn't get a pair for the store to demo. By all means if you would have gotten there before they shipped you would have been more than welcome to hear them!

I have no idea about the drivers, but from the photos that @Eric510posted I can see the drivers are flush with the cups.
Congratulations on the GH-1's…hope you enjoy them, and I'm looking forward to your impressions.

So... having spent a bit more time with them, having run them on my desktop rig, and having compared them to my GS1Ke's... I think we've got a winner here.
I need to preface this by saying that I've only got my old SR80's and GS1Ke's to compare these to. That being said, to me, these feel like a lighter, leaner GS1Ke. The highs are beautiful, the mids are classic Grado, and low end is surprisingly satisfying (Grado low end has always left me a bit wanting, generally).
I leave the real impressions to the regulars of this thread... I've never been one for posting impressions - though I love reading everyone else's... I just can't articular what I'm hearing.
But as I said before... I'm liking what I'm hearing. A lot.

I'm in love with Grado sound. Crispy, clean and open.
I have found this:
Rock and Jazz fussion sounds superb with S cushion modded (red) amped or direct from my Ipad3.
Jazz voices are very close with L cushion.
It is not for classic or folk.
Grado 125e sound is warmer and bright at the same time. It what I have being looking in a headphone.
Sennheiser HD 650 for classic and opera.
I just order a case because they look very fragile.
This is not an analitical sound. One thing is true I'm enjoying today more my music (I'm Jazz fussion fan) with this can.

Yep, they're flush - no protrusions.

they really aren't that fragile, though a case is always nice, and safer
yeah, i agree as most here will, grado's aren't analytical , they connect emotionally to the music, they have soul !

Many thanks bro
Looks like if anything this new model is akin to RS2's sound signature not the RS1's.
Here is my RS2i and Eric510's GH1.
If so the sound signature will be excellent all around..
I will be curious a comparison between RS2e and GH1 where possibly only the maple would be the difference in sound(minor??).
Here is Eric's cup depth followed by my RS2i's
Looking closely reveals a slightly larger diameter outer cup on the vent side.
Interesting...Can anyone post a photo of RS2e side profile?
Tia.

In my opinion, the leather doesn't have to match the wood, for it to look nice.
The Bushmills's earcups are light colored too, and they look great, with their tan headbands.
Speaking of the Bushmills, you were saying that the GH-1 had more padding in the headbands, who knows, maybe Grado still had some leftover Bushmills headbands. John might want to chime in, and confirm that I'm not hallucinating this, after all, my meds are pretty strong, so...
You seem to be enjoying your GH-1, so I'm hoping to hear from TTVJ in a not so distant future.
