I guess I’m a bit disappointed cos these don’t look like the free systems models at all. But at least they didn’t follow the eGrado style. The blogger said it should be retailed for a little more than 1000 CNY, which could be about 150 - 200 USD I think.

They’re pretty rough looking but I’m buying them if they’re $200ish, in any case, since I’m also relieved they didn’t go the eGrado route in terms of build, and these look closer to an SR80.

Probably closed back or semi closed, unless they found a way to make circular batteries. It would be pretty cool to have a circular battery in one of the cups and the other a circular circuit with al the electronics to leave the centers empty. Probably the circuit can be in multiple small flat circuit boards around the cup.

comments like this scare me lol . i think because i have nlo way of testing before purchase. what would you reccommend as a comfier alternative in the same price and performance?

For me its generic G-pads that make any Grado comfortable enough that I can use them for 7-8 hours at a time but they will alter the sound a bit, a bit more bass and sound stage but the bass can be a bit muddy at times and you loose a little of the in-your-face presentation that Grado's are known for. Or if you have the funds then the higher end models in the GS and PS line come with G-pads to start.

Check this video it’s in Japanese but shows the new wireless headphones.

I’ve seen folks mention looking for a MAD Ear amp in this thread often...they are renown for the Magic they make with Grados, and barely ever come up second hand, so if you’re interested, check out this classified:

It’s a tricked out one, so not as cheap as some would like, but...

Hi All,

I recently got into head-fi and got a Chord Mojo and my first Grado, a sr225e. Level of detail is/was amazing but in particular female voices spiked too much in the treble for me (I let it burn in around 100h). I could return it and now have a RS2e and this looks like a keeper Sounds incredible even after giving it a quick spin, I also got a GH2 arriving next week to compare (knowing myself I might end up keeping both, lol). Honestly I never thought this level of enjoyment could be achieved with head-fi. My main stereo system is composed of a Bluesound Node 2, Resolution Audio Cantata music center, Sugden A21 SE and Harbeth m30.1 speakers (known for their transparancy and midrange) and the ipod-grado-mojo combination really rivals this on a smaller but so convenient scale.

I own both, RS2e and GH2. You'll be pleased, they compliment each other very very well! Most of the time I use the GH2 these days, but for acoustic guitars and live music the RS2e are my preferred cans.

 

[goldminetrash]

also, don't judge the GH2 without long burn in. when I first got them I thought they sound just like the RS2e with a little bit more bass. played out of the box I preffered the sound of my well worn in RS2e. only after about 200 hours of playtime and burn in the GH2 now sounds significantly different to the RS2e, more mature and authorative, while still keeping that Grado sparkle we love.

Thank you very much for the insights, goldminetrash. I went to sleep way too late last night...the RS2e kept 'whispering' in my ears and looks like the GH2 may get me into insomnia territory .

Good evening all. Any of you Grado bunch with a chord mojo use/tried a different ‘usb to micro usb’ cable ? (So not the stock one supplied with the mojo). As I mainly use ipod/ipad the Apple cck is mandatory. As I believe in component synergy down the chain I’m asking here instead of the mojo thread. Thank you for any feedback.

USB cables are digital and can only affect the sound if they are defective. Some may be more rugged or have nicer connectors but that is about it.

i think grado freesystem just way ahead of its time
