Saw this pic on a celebrity-gossip site. Taken yesterday, the pic is of John Mayer sporting Grado RS headphones. I'm sure he's an audiophile; he mentions in a recent guitar magazine interview that he uses Alessandro speakers and cabinets, mogami cables, and A/Bs tubes in his guitar amps for the hell of it.

Anybody know of other celebrity audiophiles?

[Meliboeus]

[ford2]

Ford2.

They are Grado RS's for sure, unless the MS Pro's have wood that light in color.

Then again... can't be sure... Got a higher rez picture?

I am pretty sure they are the MS-Pro. Look at the letterings near the bottom of the cup, which should be "Grado Labs". The new RS-1 should have "RS-1" instead near the bottom.

Btw, the photo is over-exposed and that's why the colour of the wood is so light.

Also, if the guy promotes Alessandro speakers and cabinets, then wouldn't it be logical for him to also use their Headphones?

they are missing the wooden button in the middle of the grill that would read "RS1" so are probably alessandro

 

[kingkevo25]

Good points! Dumb of me to forget about the wooden button considering I own Grados and Alessandros.

And indeed he is an A-list celebrity... dates Jennifer Aniston, dated Jessica Simpson, toured and is friends with Clapton. I know too much about pop-culture :/

guys, the new grado rs1s and rs2s have no more buttons in the middle. Anyway, they are probably alessandros because looking at the bottom part it seems to be longer than just rs1 or rs2. It probably says grado labs which definitely means it is the mspro

 

[Cankin]

looks more like MS Pro to me.

Which probably means he didn't pay a dime for them.

I think we need someone to stalk him to get that paparazzi photo. I nominate you!
