Glad you already like it. It will improve a lot over time, softer and with more bass. You will have a lot of fun. I almost return mine and it became my favorite one.

I miss very badly the old white website. All those amazing photos, the limited editions page, the timeline, it was so inspiring and cool. I hope they planning to get it back. The current looks so old, the photos are terrible, doesn't do justice to what they are. A fan's lament. :smile_phones:

They are very different. 325x it's dark and physical, RS2x energetic and fast. 325x very easy do like. RS2x it's a wild beast. Sometimes it's horrible, sometime the best in the world. I bought the RS2x because fans said it has the classic John Grado sound. It's really unique and worthwhile...

Just check at their website, apparently not.

And dont give up the stock pads either! :)

The RS2x takes long long long time to show what it can do. I almost return it because it was thin and harsh compared to the 325x. Thank God I didn't. Recently I think my RS2x get it's final warm touch. I still love my 325x, but after 3 days I get tired of it's rounded sound and go back to my...

Maybe it's just the version of the 80x?

Wow, I want a repair just to have this new cable! :dt880smile: Looks like a lot less bulky and nicer.

I mean, I have the 325x and RS2x, but always keep rotating and coming back to the 80x and enjoying all the same.

I agree, keep enjoying your 80x. Technically for sure the higher models are better, but subjectively for me they are all great, only different but with the same DNA.

Wow, you put quite a lot treble extreme test with all those black metal stuff. If you already don't dislike it those situations, thats great news. My guess is that with burn in time you will enjoy so much more. My 325x was very hard in the beginning, it becomes much loose and warmer over time...

If that is really the case, it will be a really big news. And x cable made of fabric will be so great.

I have the 80e, 80x, 325x and RS2x.

Yes, it's insane how much value they put on the cheapest models. The last two days I was listening only to the 80x. As much I love and appreciate the higher models, the 80x could easily be my end game.

Just watch this: https://www.instagram.com/p/C34-uJrgta3/ I was struggling to recognize what Grado model was but I guess that has a "Monk" written on the wood... Never know of this Thelonious Monk edition. Almost nothing about it on the internet, just this page...
