  RS2e for me has the best price/performance ratio. To my ears, it has better detail retrieval overall than 325e and has an edge when it come to bass performance over RS1e. PS500 while sounds good has strayed way farther from a typical grado sound signature. GS1000 and the RS2e seems similar to me overall but with a slightly bigger soundstage. I have yet to hear the PS1000 but the jump in price is just ridiculous considering how close each headphone sound like starting with 325e (or maybe 225e). 
 
The 325e having metal cups is heavy and the not comfortable for long listening sessions. The RS2e ticked all the right boxes in comfort and sound quality. The 30% discount offered by the local distributor made me sell my 325e and get the RS2e recently. Now I'm back into rocking with a grado can. ( I was force to abandon 325e before due to discomfort after 30 minutes in my head)

Which local distributor? Stereo, Jaben, or are you talking about local distributor in the phillippines?
if 30% cut of $500 I can get into that program!
 
And why 30% discount though if i may ask? I mean, normally they only cut 5-10% from MSRP in Singapore aren't they?

The main distributor for SEA. V2point0. You can buy direct from them via www.grado.com.sg. it's a short 3-day weekend sale I only came to know this on the last day (Sunday) while I was reading my mail.

Well, in case you are interested Song Brothers have existing stocks of the previous i models and selling them on a 20% discount. I was thinking about it, thank god I didn't pull the trigger and the V2.0 discount came along.

I want the brown one... It was 700 dollar isn't it? Discount 30%, 490 dollar is really good price.

 

[headwhacker]

Yeah, brown headband for a woody grado is a better color fit.

But the 20% discount on the i series is great as well. Grab a pair of RS1i before it's gone!

Like I said before (#bad_english)
 
Yeah I have vestibular neurinitis (plus rs1i is expensive even after 20% discount). The fact that the E series is more polite is good for my ear.
I may be getting the rs2e after the 400i sold. Not sure yet. >_<

Can confirm the new Grado leather is Coffee Tan and not Light Brown anymore.
 
@kayandjohn, is your rs2e coffee tan too like Mercuttio's rs1e, if i may ask?
or is it still the old light brown color?

I can't find it, how about a link on the RS1i if its still on going? Do they ship to the U.S./Pacific (hawaii)?
