I somewhat disagree with this line of reasoning, as it almost argues that Grado can do no wrong. In the entire history of Grado, do you think they have ever come out with a poor model? Every company has its misses. It's just that it's more difficult to determine that with Grado models because the buyers aren't looking for neutrality in the first place. The RS1e and GS2000e got slammed but there are still some fans of them. I hold a minority opinion that I didn't care for the Hemp's stock tuning, but that's because I prefer boosted mids. I suppose that's why everyone just says to go SR60x/RS2x, and if you're interested in anything else, you're on your own when it comes to demos.
I certainly was not meaning to suggest that at all, sorry if it seemed that way.
In my own opinion I never really cared for any of the various SR325 and GS1000 variants. Of course other listeners may find them among the best ever.
The current SR325x is actually the first of that model series that I can enjoy.
The final arbiter is one’s own ears and how you react to hearing any particular brand or model of phone and make your choices.
RS-1X prove a headphone could be one hell of fun and at the same time still project nice technicalities in term of detail, speed, and soundstage quality (imaging and pin point).
p.s: Finally I've tried RS2x, a bit too bright and thin for my taste. So RS-1X is my true winner this time.

Friends, I`m afraid this is a stupid question, but do you think that make any sense in downgrading in the Grado line? I have the 80e and 325x (which makes me laugh while listening to music because it`s so damn good!). Naturally thinking about planning for the RS2x, but now I felt like trying 60x, just for the fun (and because of the price, and simplicity and humbleness) and to taste something different from Grado. I try not to think in terms of better/worse, but I like different taste. Does this make any sense or I`m getting crazy? Thank you!
I have had more time on the RS1x and agree with Jonathan C. regarding how it evolves. I think the RS2x bass seems more there and lends that to the overall sound so it might seem like more bass. The RS1x does take longer to evolve and results in a better detailed and deeper reaching bass and to me is the more refined and articulate throughout the full spectrum. For me to pick one it has always been the RS1x that I find more satisfying. It might also be more reflective of what amp you are using than the RS2x and scale accordingly. That said, there are plenty of amps that I have found that satisfy and marry well.
The RS2x is still excellent overall and a great choice if you don’t want to spend the extra $200.
