I have a Schiit Modi Multibit and Vali 2 to go along with my Grado SR80e, GW100 and now custom, Grado-like headset with Turbulent drivers and Shipibo Zebra wood cups and aluminum gimbals and rods. They sound warm, bright and clear. The custom set just sounds "real" and more immersive but they all sound great. Schiit and Grado's go together like wine and cheese or peanut butter and chocolate.

RE the Grado, Schiit synergy, I agree. I use the Vali 2/Modi 3 MB combo for my work desk setup. Always a pleasure with stock or modded Grados, as well as custom builds. At CanJam the Grado room was set up with about 6 or 7 Schiit Lyr amps for listening.

Yayaya it's time for the GS2000e (2Ke) vs GS3000e (3Ke) comparison! Unfortunately, I don't have any other flagship headphones in my possession so I can't compare directly with other heavy hitters. But I primarily went with the 2Ke initially because it was a super lightweight wooden headphone. At the time, it was Grado's wooden flagship, as the 3Ke was released two years later. Anything over 350g is too heavy for me, so that rules out many flagships that I would've otherwise considered anyway. Let's get to it!

...

On to sound!

I enjoyed my 2Ke for 2.5 years, and it worked for me because I was willing to apply an extreme EQ to it.

...

@Gippy - what are you using for EQ? Software or Hardware?

I love my GH2's! I loved my GH2's more with a Burson Fun amp!
And now I love them even more.

My chain is now Sony DAP to SMSL DAC to Schiit Loki to Burson Fun. Insert GH2 and add bass. Audio nirvana! This is what I have been looking for.

So what is a fair price for a Grado GS1000 (original) in mint condition? I'm wondering if I overspent. It's hard judging the value when most of these GS1000's are the newer versions being sold. I paid $455. Now mind you looking at prices I see them going for $550 to $700+ so i think I got a decent deal but just wondering.

I think I like rs1i the most. I’am using chord mojo to drive my headphones and I think its perfect match. Before I used aune t1 and fiio e10k.

ps1000e or gh2 maybe

I can't find them cheaper than $500 online used. Most are much more expensive. I actually won these on ebay. Been wanting them for a very long time but never wanted to spend the money. Last time I heard a set was back at a can jam and I loved them.

The important thing for me is that I did not over pay so looks like im good.

yea. 450-500 looks more like a fair price to me. seems it's not that old, they also not using any "special" drivers, and i'm guessing not many people looking for that particular model,unless grado only sold a few of gs1000 in very short amount of time before they introduce the i-models( i'm not fully aware of this case though)

for the normal grado models most of the time the price are higher than standard because of the seller location in my experience. outside US, grado headphones are very expensive or the headphone is recabled usually with moon audio black dragon.

well enjoy your gs1000! happy listening!

Question about next Grado HP purchase.

I own both an SR-60 and SR-125 (L-pad) that are ~20 years old, and a GS2000e that's a couple years old. Owned a GS1000e that I never cared for. I had a PS2000e on loan from TTVJ, and loved it. Otherwise I own an AQ Nighthawk and a Senn 6xx

I'm finding that I actually prefer my 125s over the GS2000e in a majority of situations - the 125s are probably my favorite of all my phones. The midrange (voices, instruments) and presence are portrayed on the 125 in ways that are more pleasing, and more "real" to me (the soundstage is better on the GS2000e, but that's less important to me). Perhaps that means that the mids are more forward and closer on the 125, but apparently that's what I prefer.

That got me thinking that might be a model that takes the benefits of the 125s, and makes "more" of them - maybe same mids, but bigger soundstage. Would that be something like the RS2e/GH2/GH4 (or upcoming HF3), or the 325? Or maybe the PS500? Any suggestions?

since your sr125 is pink drivers. maybe rs1 with pink driver

Considering the RS1i offen goes in my country for around 450 USD, I'd take the GS1000 at $500 in a heartbeat. Well, if I had the money.

I think I’ll buy gh2. From what I read, they’re perfect match for me. Nobody from 4ourears replied for my email about international shipping and there is also lovely coccobolo wood on the gh2...

GH2's are awesome! But I am biased.

Does anyone know what these cans are based off of? Or what they most closely sound like? As in the GH1 or 325? trying to find some info on them...not finding much.

Never mind...it seems @pure5152 had a listen to them and said this: "Heard it in person and it sounds great, like a super rs2e, with better extension and soundstage."

That's better than expected. Ordered. I missed out on the GH2 and at this price I don't think I can pass on the HF3.
