Hey man, is that your new RS1x ?

Indeed. Got them a a couple weeks ago.

How do you like them ?

I dont wanna talk about the cable.

Ohhhkayyy . . . how about the sound?

They sound delightful. Like my gold 325i and the Harman Target had a baby. But I dont wanna talk about the cable.

Are they more musical, or more analytical ?

When I play music through them they are extremely musical. When I listen to a philosophy lecture with them they are extremely analytical.

Those triple wood cups look pretty sweet !

IMHO they are the coolest wooden cups on any headphone this side of ZMF. Thats is the main reason why I bought them despite having 18 other Grados. But I dont wanna talk about the cable.

What amps do they pair with ?

Yes.

So, like, they would pair well with my Intergalactic Endgame TS 9000 with the special tubes that they recovered from the wreckage at Roswell ?

Yes.

And with my 1986 vintage Walkman that I bought off of a homeless guy in Detroit ?

Yes.

How do they compare with your other Grados ?

You know that meme where the guy is with his girlfriend, but he's checking out another girl that's walking by ? I'm the guy, RS1x is the other girl, and all my other headphones are the girlfriend.

But I dont wanna talk about the cable.

How long do they need to burn in ?

I dont recommend actually burning them, but just let them get a little toasty on the outside, like S'Mores around a campfire.

Can you give us a detailed breakdown and ranking of them relative to all your other Grados based on Aristotle's original treatise on the
45 most important attributes for headphones?

Sure, but only 44 attributes. I dont wanna talk about the cable.

Sounds like a new Disney song...."we don't talk about cable " "no no"

I reckon you could pull a car out of a ditch with it...
Love X series .... apart from he who must not be named.

I feel like this applies to EVERY damn cable in the Grado world. Testing out my new to me Hemps keeps reminding me of how much I HATE their cables!

Back to a 'phone with a Hart Audio Cable attached today. Yesssss.

I think the standard length leaves something to be desired too. Typically if you’re listening on your desk or from your pocket, 3.3-4 feet is ideal, and if you’re running from a system on a stand, 8-10 feet is more typical. 6ft standard with a 15 foot extension seems odd to me.

All the annoying twisties of a regular Grado cable, but somehow twice as stiff. It's like they specially engineered a "solution" to make a bad thing even worse.

Damn do they sound really, really, really good though. They might have ruined me for other Grados.

Viagra cable

The one on the 80x is like it too but thinner ... infact guage wise it's about right for the higher X series .
It makes the 80x almost impossible on the go although they wouldn't be much good because of sound leakage too.

Viagra cable

If I'm listening for more than 4 hours should I see a doctor ?

That cable ain't going soft anytime soon. ... My advice is have a break

 

[carboncopy]

No I wanted to buy it in Europe .. so I bought a used GS300e for 1400€ (new one are sold 2390€) In US used one seems to be more or less 1000 $, which is really cheaper than in Europe.

Did you buy it here on head-fi? It seems someone sold you a defective unit

As for the new price, you can buy it at most for 2000EUR.
