Hello. i have had my rs1is for about a week now, and i started comparing them to the AKG k701.
I'm pretty disappoint about the grados, i mean yes they have that grado sound and all, good controlled bass, spectacular mids, but the highs...
I just can't hear them.
Compared to the k701s they are less airy and have less detail in the highs. The cymbals with the 701s just come through, while with the rs1s i have got to like figure them out.
I know this sound weird, but if you happen to have a pair of both phones, try listening to this:

i can only hear the grados from 20.5k while the k701s just go higher, i really feel the sound at 21.5k...
Is this just my impression? could it be that i have a pair of broken/modded/dysfunctional pair of rs1s? (bought them used here on HF with 10hrs on them)
Please tell me, because i just love their sound, except for that upper end i feel is missing...
thank you very much!
