Tonight is Genesis "Foxtrot" and my PS2000e + Hugo2 setup with Roon and I'm loving these headphones with classic prog rock!

Have you discovered Nightwish albums? A real treat!

Solved my itchy ear problem (kinda-sorta). I purchased other pads, but these covers will work for now. They cover the the L-Cushions perfectly...and a little loose on Flats.

These are the poor man's version of BeautifulAudio pads. No change to the signature, BTW.

I have a question: what are the real sound differences between the rs2e grado and the sr325e?
is the rs2e superior to the sr325e?

Do you have a link to these covers?

Morning folks! I am looking at picking up the GS1000e. Reviews state "non-fatiguing" and "smooth high-end". Being a bit treble sensitive these are always my main concerns. Thoughts on these for folk, acoustic & classic (60's) rock? Thanks.

Grados in general have a lot of treble. They are smooth and non-fatiguing at low volume, so... maybe you should go for a darker headphone.

@ruthieandjohn has done an extensive comparison of Grado HPs. I decided to get a used GS1000i after reading the charts as this was a favorite of his. I have not been sorry.

So I guess the RS2 must be the second most photogenic headphone ever then....

Is it superior to the 325e sonically?

I should be able to tell you in a couple of days. I've got an RS2e in the mail on its way to me now.

I started with 80e's and soon after added a pair of RS2e's. I threw the 80e's in my briefcase to work in offices, and kept the 2e's at home. The first differences I noticed were the soundstage and low end detail. My biggest complaint with the 80e's was the narrowish soundstage and somewhat disjointed frequencies. I wasn't hearing a good hand-off between highs, mids and lows (I ended up getting a pair of 125e's for my portable cans, which I much prefer). The 2e is much more refined, and that stuck-in-your-head sound is gone. The bass is great because it's not overdone and as I mentioned has so much detail.

I think the 2e's are great for jazz and classical.

better rs2 or 325e?
