  When I had on-call 24x7 work I got a blinking phone and kept my eye on it when my ears were otherwise occupied.

You just need a phone that vibrates. Then keep it in your pants.

Pretty good stuff for some young female vocals. I can't wait to hear Billie Tweedles voice in a few years....love her to death.

Grado impedance is only 32 ohm, compared to 300 ohm from the HD800 it is a lot easier to power. That said, they do sound nice with a good amp.

Stunning, thanks! Agree on Billie Tweedle.. she sounds awesome on the RS1i but out of this world on the HD800.

The HD800 is super clean and refined and really works with Billie. It's like being in the studio with her.. the RS1i is like the gritty younger brother, less refined, a little more fun. It's like the difference between being there and watching/listening and enjoying a great recorded performance. Must have listened to it 7-8 times switching between the two and enjoying both.  The RS1i can get a little shouty relative to the HD800.
HD800 = James Bond, RS1i = Jason Bourne. Both great and depending on the mood.  Love the combo.

  really, what do you prefer about the HD800?
