It's aluminium, so not really more heft to them now. Installing is quite easy as you have those screws for adjustment. Only getting the headband out of the original plastic rods was a little tricky and needed some brute force.

I wonder how my RS2e would look with the slim satin beadblasted version and the coffee Turbulent Labs headband. Hmm....

well ps1000e also using aluminium... an exact weight scale would be nice so we don't need to imagine things btw how about the adjustment part? is it using like lock scheme or is it just more firm? i mean the original grado's rod usually easy to just slide down

The whole RS2e including cables is 311g now.

The more you tighten the screws the less the rods will move. It's up to you how to adjust them, the possibilities are kinda infinite

I like the proportions of the original gimbals and rod blocks, i just didn't like the wooden cups and the brown leather with cheap plastic parts (I have nothing against this cheap 1972 transistor radio look of the prestige Grados, they look kinda cool, i just don't like the mix with better materials)

Infinite...until you tighten too much and you crack the wood.

Yeah it's all up to you, just because one of the infinite numbers of options will destroy the wood doesn't mean it's not an option!

I agree. I've thought of getting those gimbals and rods before, but I'm a cheap basta...err...individual.

Been using the hemp for a bit over a week

Pretty fun headphone

Main weakness is very noticeable HF rolloff. They look amazing though.

Not something I would consider as a primary headphone but an interesting diversion when you want something very laid back.

Which models do you consider to be primary headphones?
