Kudos and enjoy.  $$ well spent, No other headphone puts you on stage with the musicians like the RS1.  Give them time to burn in and enjoy the gig!!

I bought a used pair, but they only have about 50-75 hours on them supposedly.....we shall see.
 
kramer5150......I love what you are saying....I cant wait to listen to them.
 
I am planning an all nighter.....with the first album being something accoustic....maybe Neil Young

Others on the stage for the all nighter with definitely be Pink Floyd.....Robert Cray & The Beatles

The K701s and the RS-1s were my two main cans for a long time. The 325s will have more visceral impact with the aluminum cans compared to the wooden cans. But the RS-1s are a treat. Enjoy.

I've had probably a dozen or more mid to high end headphones, and none have even come close to the RS1s I had. This was pre-i series, but if they are even 75% as good, you will be selling the 325s the night you receive them.
 
Pair them with a Mapletree Audio amp and you'll never leave your chair.

kramer 5150 thank you for posting those youtube links.
 
I get more excited about the RS1i the more that I read you guys replies....saying that I won't listen to the 325i's after hearing the RS1i's.
 
That is just hard for me to comprehend, because I love these 325i's so much.
 
I will make sure I let you know what I think of the RS1's compared to the 325's.
 
The anticipation of getting these is killing me, lol......but in the meantime I am still going to keep rocking these 325's

It is like when I got the MS2i, I no longer want to listen to the MS1i even I have been trying lol. Maybe it will happen to the MS2i when I got a MS-Pro lol.

Congrats, the RS1i are some fine sounding headphones, and they look good too, i'm sure you'll enjoy them.
 
And be sure to give us your impressions.
