Happy with what I've got - but am tempted to audition the PS1000

This is exactly what happened too me!
Its almost impossible too stop. I said I would never buy the RS1i's, and I did…then I said I would NEVER buy the PS1k's...

So I shouldn't be telling you that I love my PS500? And how it works as a nice complementary headphone to the RS1?

I am going to get one more headphone (or so I say now) Only Grado I am possibly interested in at this point is the PS1000. Either going to be that or the new HE560 once the new wears off and all the frenzy dies down.

LOL!!!
The PS500 has had my interest for a long while from what I have read in their presentation...But I have resisted....And I must keep resisting.....

Has there been a thread that compares the HF-2 against the PS500? They seem to be around the same ballpark price wise. And I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get. DON'T SAY BOTH!
I stepped away from the headphone scene for about 6 years and have decided to come back on a "limited" bases... yeah right. And since I've always had love for Grado, I'm trying to figure out which to invest in. I had #23 of the HF-1's and apparently sold them to someone that turned out to be not such a desirable character around these parts shortly after the sell. So the chances of getting that pair back are slim to none
I previously owned 2 pair of SR60's (one stock and and one super modified by Church Audio - the thread is still here but the pics are long gone), I also had a pair of SR225 and the original RS2 (Thanks Dad!). But I ended up having to sell off all of my gear when my kid was born to help cover the loss of my wife's income since she stayed home with our daughter the first 2 years.
I went a little nuts on ebay the last 2 weeks and bought a set of SR80's as well as so UE900S iems (which I'm already selling the UE900s). And then I bought a pair of SR225's to tied me over until I get either the HF-2 or the PS500. I'll be keeping the latter pair at the office and use the SR80's for portable. Oh and I got a FiiO E18 to pair with my Samsung Note 3. I'm sure it will really help the SR80's and SR225's. But I am also looking at getting a Bravo Audio Ocean for use at the office as well.
The only other set of headphones I am contemplating are the Beyerdynamic T1's, but that is for a different thread. So if anyone can give me some pointers on the HF-2 vs PS500, I would greatly appreciate it. Especially if you have either of the amps I have mentioned here. I'm also curious if either of those would benefit from a set of G Bowls from the PS1000/GS1000?

I think the PS500 evolved from the HF1 & HF2
I have not heard any of them, but I can tell you the PS500 does like the G cushion, very much.....more so than most Grado cans that do not already use them.
By the way....welcome back......keep a tight watch on that wallet.

Then let us know your impressions
I certainly will, just hope I can get out sooner rather than later!

i previously owned the the ps500, and i had a chance last weekend to try the hf2, though there was direct comparison , from memory , i can say they sound very similar
