Up for sale is my prized Grado Rs1. They are classified as Vintage A Rs1 with pink drivers. I've had them for over 7 years I think. I never thought I would sell them so I modded them from stock.

Mods done:

1. Hd800 detachable cable mod. The cable fits a tiny bit loose when connected to the aftermarket female hd800 jacks on the cans so I added a tiny smidge of super glue on the male connectors so they won't slide out when being worn. Unnoticeable but I need to be transparent about it.

2. Gimbals are newer Grado rounded post gimbals. I cut a slot on the bottom to better accommodate the hd800 style cable.

3. I exchanged the stock leather headband for the legendary jmoney leather headband. It is wider and thicker, best headband for a Grado IMO.

I also need to mention the original wooden Grado box is included but as you can see in the pictures a piece of the bottom foam is missing.
Only cable included is a Cardas 1/8" cable.

The cans are in 100% working condition with no rattling or other shenanigans going on.

Pads included are a new pair of original Grado L-cush worn less than an hour and also a pair of Geekria comfy pads, also worn less than an hour. The Geekria pads somewhat mimic the ttvj flat pads having a more upfront/intimate bassy sound and reduces the highs. These two pad choices compliment each other nicely for different sound signatures.

I can also throw in the pair of ttvj pads that are in some of the pictures but be advised that they are already disintegrating so I would only advise for you to use them just to get an idea of what they sound like with ttvj flat pads.

$650 includes PayPal and shipping in the US.
Please pm me if interested. I can only post 10 pictures on this new format but I can send you more through pm.

Thank you my friend. I had been thinking about selling them for some time and due to what happened recently it definitely influenced my decision to finally let them go.

I'm happy they're going to a good home though! Apparently the buyer had one of these in the past. His pair died some time ago so he immediately jumped on these. I'm glad they'll get some more use and appreciation from some else as I wasn't using them much the last few years.

Thanks wormsdriver for the sale! Yes I’ve been a longtime grado fan as well, having owned many of the old style Grados including the PS1s but it was the RS1s with pink drivers that stuck. It was really sad when one of drivers died so super exited to receive these!
