hahaha it is pricey, you could buy sr60 with that money :D i don't think it's worth the money for prestige series model but reference series, worth to try at least

Thanks for your recommendation. I already sent them an email just now, which do you recommend? The Merino, or Leather, or both? Both look good, and comfy. :) They're from NZ, so not very far from here.
edit: I probably will buy both and resell the one I like less. Hehe.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother tryin either of them. I purchased the EZ leather pads (which weren't as deep as these) for my 325is and I found the only thing good about them was that they will definitely destroy the Grado sound signature if that's what you're looking to do. There's a good reason Grado uses the material they do.

i remembered there were 2 members said they already ordered the pads and waiting for it to be arrived and then no more update :D Nope, never heard another thing about them.

OK... snow cleared up... off to the Grado dealer (Overture Audio) to pick up my PS2000e and GS2000e, and to the post office to send off some of the headphone gear I sold to help afford these new Grados!

I do have the merino headband which I use and earpads which I don't use. I would sell them if anybody is interested to fund a RS2e or a part of it :)

Listening proudly to my PS2000e's with the GS2000e's close at hand. As with my review of the demo unit, PS2000e > PS1000 (> PS1000e!) Neither of these balanced headphones included the 3.5mm mini adapter that the Grado website says should be included (and IS included on the single ended version), so the dealer is going back to ask about that. My own conversations with Grado taught me that for their GS2000e and PS2000e, where they use the 12-conductor cable, they also use a 12-conductor 3.5mm adapter, NOT the same as the one you buy when you buy the Grado mini adapter on its own (which is thinner cable). I can verify this, as my GS1000e adapter had a thicker cable than my other Grado adapters.

I have the XLR to SE adapter. It is the 1/4” to 1/8” adapter that I am missing on each. Yeah, i know, I’m making a chain of 3 cables if I use it, but I want it and it should be in there.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't receive the mini adapter either, but then again, I already have one, but I understand you wanting what you're supposed to get. Maybe if you order the balanced cable the XLR to SE replaces the mini?

Now listening to the GS2000e balanced and loving them! I am using the Sony PHA-3 DAC/amp, which has a balanced output using two 3.5mm mini plugs, and a special "Pono-to-XLR (4 pin) adapter from China to drive my GS2000e balanced in a portable setup. Here is a picture of the setup (Sony NW15a player) and the eBay listing for the special connector.

There is someone selling a used RS2e locally here at $330. In case you're interested.

Nice, glad you're enjoying the PS2000e. I was close to buying a used PS1000e before, but found a seller for PS2000e and chose that instead. It's good to hear you favour the PS2000e more.
