Anyone compared the RS2x to GH2/4?

Whatever you plug it into, it won’t have a fat bottom end. There is no chance for that. It’s strengths lie elsewhere.

I need to let one of my Grados go and was thinking The White, but after listening more I think I might rather part with my PS500e instead. I already have headphones that do similar things, but The White is pretty unique.

You are spot on! It’s definitely not a one and only headphone. It’s just a very different flavor if you already have your bases covered.

That’s a great collection of wood! 🙂👍 The White needs time. I run mine out of a neutral solid state and there’s no sharpness at all. It’s bright and detailed, yet very musical.

And The Beatles sound great on it, too! 👍

I’ve been listening to these for the last few days. @ilomilo was right about the frequency response. It’s weird and it really is like a vintage radio. But it’s a high end vintage radio, I must add. The lower bass is non existent, midrange is neutral and very detailed and highs are airy and very...

About 200 Euro.

I won’t be sending them to Grado for repair. I’m from Europe, so it’s too expensive shipping both ways plus taxes plus a cost of repair. They can be fixed by a local independent service. The cable won’t be replaced, just both drivers. I’ll let you know if I decide what to do. That might be a...

Ok, so my RS-1 button’s driver is dead. The voice coil has detached from the diaphragm. I have two options: switch both drivers to new x-series drivers or look for a 1st gen driver to install in place of the dead driver. What do you think? Does anyone have experience with old RS-1 with new drivers?

I have the grey one and can confirm it sounds great! 😉👍

Nice wall! I really miss my RS-1 buttons. I’ve sent them to a specialist headphone service for inspection. I hope the driver can be fixed. Fingers crossed! 🤞

You are right @plakat. These are really similar. From what I hear, the GH2 is slightly “faster” (attack, transients, decay) and the GH4 seems a touch more warmer with fuller bass. Is seems to me that the midrange is a touch more forward in the GH4, too. It’s probably due to different wood types...

These two really go head to head 🔥🔥

Here in Poland Grados are not popular. There’s an audio dealer in my city who sells them, but since there’s no interest, they don’t have any stock. You can only order them. I’ve spent a chunk portion of the day with the GH2 on my head and I’m really impressed. Since I already had GH4, I never...
