The 125i is the least loved Grado of them all, closely followed by the RS2i in terms of sheer numbers who own them.
 
I believe it's the pricing and acclaim of other models that makes them an invisible model in the line-up.
 
Most jump in with the SR60/80i and then opt for the 225/325 or straight up to the RS1.
 
I suppose you could also mention the GS1000, a very misunderstood model.
 
 

wait the rs2 isnt loved? you high?

I just meant in terms of popularity and ownership numbers outright against other models.
 
Will say this though, the RS2i down under in Australia is awkwardly priced.
 
SR225i is $350 Aus dollars
SR325i is $450 Aus dollars
RS2i is $680 Aus dollars
RS1 is $999 Aus dollars
 
We should conduct a poll on current model ownership and see what comes up.

Those were the prices back in March, then they dropped in April to:
SR225i $300
SR325is $400
RS2 $600
RS1 $800
 
Now they're back up again????

You guys should buy from TTVJ. For some reason, they can ship Grado internationally, unlike other US dealers.

Hey Nick,
 
Just checked Audiophile's latest pricing online and those prices are correct.
 
Like most small boutiques though, that could be a different story over the counter,
especially when $cash$ is involved speaking from personal experience.
 
Only update is that the RS1 is $980AUD.
 
The prices in Norway are off the scale in a big way.

Really? I phoned them a month or two ago about whether or not they would ship internationally and they said they couldn't. I understand all Registered Grado Dealers are not allowed to ship outside their country due to Grado's international pricing policy. I checked out quite a few American registered dealers and it was the same story all over. I considered using an import service which allocates me a USA postal address, but found the pair I wanted on the head-fi for sale forum.

I can't imagine myself buying any Grado headphones in Europe now knowing how much less you can get them for in the US.
It is almost cheaper to fly over there to buy them.

320 quid for a 325is on your end last time I checked. Ouch.

Meanwhile in Latvia... The RS1i is 912$ and oddly so is the RS1. The RS2i is 668$ and so is the RS2. Provided there are actual headhones in stock and the names aren't messed up.

Really? Well I never phoned them, I just ordered straight away, the first time was for a pair of flat pads (2 weeks shipping time via first class mail), and a month later I ordered the GS1000i, they were out of stock so they told me to wait for about 3 weeks, then another week shipping time via express mail.
Also I checked out Moon Audio and they also allow shipping to Australia.
I think Woo Audio might too...
After I placed my order for the GS1000i, I was very anxious, worried about getting a email from them saying they can't ship overseas and have to refund my money. But instead they told me the good news that my pair has been ordered from Grado. Now I'm a very happy owner the GS1000i. Will never ever sell them.
