    Done. Sorta kinda. They are all built, soldered, glued etc. Sadly I had two issues. I left the "big girl's drawers" at the other place. The original RS2E pads seemed fine, though when I went to fit them they literally disintegrated in my hands. I didn't want to make a big mess so I...

    Thanks man ! Well, the deed is almost done. For any one wondering what the differences are (having had both sets in pieces lol) I can state - SR80 - faux leather head band. However, this is probably best suited to bald folk like me who sweat when working and gaming ! SR80 - drivers are .5mm...

    Indeed. I love my T5P for being the perfect all rounders. They play everything to a satisfactory degree. However, when I put my Grado back on it feels like I am sitting behind the band as they play. Obviously rap and so on are not so good on the Grado, but if you are into real music played with...

    Oh man you have nothing to worry about. Seriously. One area I can not criticise the RS2E is rock. You won't get that thunderous bass, but the precision in the guitars and drums is so accurate it's mind blowing. When I said I listen to everything I mean, everything. Reggae, rap, jazz, pop and...

    Because I love them. I've had many pairs of headphones (now all gone apart from the RS2E and T5P) and those two offer everything I like. It's not just the sound for me. I love how light they are, how comfy they are (with the big girl's drawers pads (that's what I call them) and most importantly...

    Possibly yes. TBH? I did not fall in love with the RS2E because of their amazing bass performance, or suitability to all kinds of music. I fell in love with them for their stage, their quirks, their ability to show you why your music collection should be FLAC or WAV and their accuracy. I can't...

    Apparently with the RS they need to be replaced in pairs as they are matched. TBH? I mean yeah I love how they sound. The sound stage is quite simply the best I have ever heard with a set of headphones. However, right now I just want them working, and £88 for a full kit is perfect. I can...

    The penny drops. The drivers are all the same size. What threw me was the construction of the 60s. They use a two piece cup rather than a single piece. So the drivers themselves are in carriers that make up half of the cup. I went in search of some 60s, but they are £80 and not Prime. The 80...

    I found a thread in the US where they charge $100 for drivers and a new cable. That's fitted. I can get really good after market drivers for about $80. At some point I will rebuild them hopefully improved, but right now I am looking for a cheap solution. I've read that the 60 and 80 drivers are...

    Hello guys. Noob here... I bought a set of RS2E about 8 years back. Since then I have used the absolute bejesus out of them. I am autistic, so it's pretty common of me to get up in the morning, put them on and leave them on for 12 hours. As such they are pretty worn out. The head band is...
