When I bought the 660S2s, I had a 6XX with really worn pads and there are so many out there, it didnt seem like it was worth it to sell it, so I picked up some non-OEM velour pads (very similar) and replaced my SE cable with a ddHiFi BC150XLR balanced 4pin XLR cable. I can't tell you what...

The most I've ever spent on a pair of HPs is ~$1400 for original Beyerdynamic T1s with a Black Dragon recable right after they came out. Were they worth it? Hell yes they were. They were my absolute end game and ended a continuous cycle of purchasing pairs and selling them. I will never, ever...

Listening to david guetta should be avoidable for everyone.

Un-discontinue! HF-4 limited edition!

Produce more housings - they will sell out.

I missed the PS500Xs by a few hours (likely for my own good), but would encourage everyone else that wanted one to send an encourageing email to Grado to do another lot of 50. :gs1000smile:

This seems a bit generalized considering the vast catalogue of music that includes a guitar, along with personal preferences. :relaxed:

This is what I'm wondering. Changing my 1st gen T1s and 6XXs to 4pin XLR have resulted in massive improvements (the 6XXs almost sound like a different headphone). I figure when I do replace the RS2x cable (in no rush rn), I might as well terminate with TRRS so I can use that output on my...

Looking for a balanced (TRRS), silver-plated copper replacement cable for the 660S2s for around $200 or less - any suggestions? :smile_phones:

Or, he might like the sound on a different setup, because they are certainly not a "drastic downgrade in sound" on mine. Of course they sound their best with the pads they were designed for. But do the G pads still sound good and bring something different to the table? Better comfort, and and...

OK, well my RS-2Xs with G pads sound terrible out of my phone with a $40 DAC, and fantastic out of my main setup. You can believe what you want to believe.

You don't have enough power and/or EQ.

Not before I try to get a friend to buy a pair so I can swap one of mine for an extended demo :smile:

Damnit why do they have to do this when I just got a pair of 660S2s and a balanced silver cable for my 6XXs :unamused:

There has been a "light version" of the HD25s for decades - I believe it used to be called the 25sp. I had a pair a long time ago, and they were incredibly flimsy and were not worth the discount from regular HD25s. I have 2 pairs of HD25s and I use them for DJing, monitoring when I have to be...

I got a small bottle of the Feed N Wax for my RS-2x. I think I probably need to do this, because I had a pair of HF-2s and one of the earcups cracked after a few years. Im in Omaha and it gets dry as F and cold in the winter here (in fact, low in the negative teens all weekend). Chiefs vs...

I read a lot of replies on this thread about pad rolling and decided to pick up a pair of G pads and try them in my RS-2Xs. I figured there was a good chance they wouldnt work out and I'd sell them for a little less than new in a few days. Well, they actually work really well in my case, and I...

I've heard GS1000s but not RS-1s. Just from following this thread I surmised that the RS-2x's were darker and bassier than the RS-1x's. Don't find the RS-2x's bright but years of using gen1 Beyer T1s may have gotten me accustomed to a brighter sound. The system matching is very important. I was...

I have the 248th pair of Beyer T1s with a balanced Black Dragon cable that I purchased from Moon Audio shortly after they released. I guess they have conditioned me to really appreciate a brighter sound. I'm glad I stuck with them and built a system around them, because I have recently acquired...

How did you avoid opening them for so long? 😂

How about sell "reference" headphones with a cable that is long enough to listen to some tunes on the couch?

Lol I was thinking the same thing last night. I wonder if they would still honor the warranty if I got it recabled at Moon Audio (as he does sell them new/recabled)? So expensive, but the Blue Dragon sounds like a good match with Grados.

Have had my RS-2x for about 2 months now. Absolutely fantastic headphones. Previously owned HF-1s and HF-2s but sold them - wasnt listening to enough music that complimented them Havent bought many headphones in a long time. Pretty much disappeared from here after I got my 1st edition Beyer...

Nah sold both a while ago - just didnt use them enough. Just need to know how the RS2x handles bass heavy electronic music. I guess I could consider a pair of Hemps too because I dont mind neutrality.

Can someone give me some advice for deciding between 325x and RS-2x? If I want a pair of Grados for rock (nearly every Radiohead album) and fast/ glitchy electronic music with a lot of bass - are the 325x better suited for this? I dont need boosted bass - just wondering if RS2s have more of the...
