I feel I may be a bit late but actually I'll check tomorrow when the store opens. Few weeks I think I've had them.

Anyone know how to create a listing? Wanting to put my up GS3000x for sale but I can't see anywhere on the site to make a listing.

You have to go to the classified adverts section, then get set up for “dual authentication” ….

Wow! Which color headband is that? Full size gimbals right?

Colour is coffee. Gimbals are classic size, aluminium satin finish.

Dang, friend. That sucks you didn’t get along with them. Wish I had the coin at the moment you should have no problem selling them at a good price on here if need be.

The rs1x usually looks pretty ugly with that naked hemp wood behind the cocobolo in pictures. At least I think so. Maybe it looks better in person?

RS-1x is definitely amazing looking, one of the best headphones I’ve ever had.

Uncomfortable for long periods, a bit too bass light for me. Seen an Oppo PM1 for sale I'm tempted to try planar magnetic.

Agreed. L-pads are the most uncomfortable pads ever.

Uncomfortable for long periods even with g-pads huh? Are they heavy? I’ve never tried a g pad. But seems like all Grados aren’t good for very long periods of listening and the lighter the headphone setup is (including cable.) the longer you could realistically wear them.

G-pads sounds wrong on RS-1x. If you like the soundstage of G-pads look for GS1000 or GS3000 series that were tuned for it.

Oh if I ever went rs1x I would go f pad. Are g pads better for long term comfort in your experience?

** An absolutist view. For me, if I want RS1x rendition of “Row M”: G-pads. If I want RS1x rendition of “Row C” or closer: F-pads (Grado or TTVJ Deluxe Flats).

My heart skipped a beat seeing those pics of the rs1x. Man I was wrong those are stunning headphones.

…? … have you listened to these … ?

I have had several models made after 2016 in L pad or f pad form. Honestly the only Grado I could wear around the clock were my 80e’s with L pads after I really stretched the pads just enough to clamp on my ears and softened the pads. I have had 80e, 225e, ps500e, rs1e, and now I just have my hemps. Which sit right in the middle of those for comfort. Ps500e being the worst.

Honestly looking back now it seems the better they sounded to me the worse the comfort was for me. I thought I seen someone on here stating that g pads weren’t good for long term comfort, but no I have never tried them.
