I agree with your first thoughts. Depending on what size you need, I'll send you a pair of the westone star tips I use for free. Much better than the foams.

thank you for the offer, I just ordered 5 pairs of the star tips assorted sizes and some Audeo silicone tips. will have those tuesday. after shoving the foam tips on harder getting a bit better highs, less bass tho.
 
hard to believe how bad the included tips are.

  I'm sorry, I used the wrong words when I described were I put the glue. Clean ALL of the glue off the driver/cups. Put a thin ring of hot glue around the inside the (CUP), about 3/16"-1/4" from the edge of the (CUP), then slide the driver housing into the cup, this way you will not see any glue or have a mess, and let the glue dry, hot glue dries pretty quickly. Sorry for the wrong description of pieces. I'm going to delete that post!
Do you follow what I'm saying?

Now it's clear. I recalculated inches to mm :)
Thank you very much.

  I found the same with my HD650's, they sound like a good sound system playing in the next room. I have just bought a pair of HE-500's and its the first time i have heard anything that can surpass the Grados in detail and resolution.  I can highly recommend them to any Grado lover, they are damn heavy though.

 
Interesting...would you care to elaborate? 
 
From what I have heard, HiFimans are supposed to be quite darker.

I'm listening to Larry Carlton's "Last Night" album this morning and being amazed at the RS1's ability to resolve detail and the nuances of a live performance. Though I think my critical listening skills are better in the morning than at the end of the day when I tend to crank it up just so I can relax.

If y'all want some more music to listen to on your Grados, check out this playlist I made on Spotify.  It's 100% rock, 95% classic rock I'd say.  230+ songs, and I add to it every day. I tell people I'll listen to anything, but this is just about all I listen to :veryevil:  :gs1000smile:
The Lord's Music

Good job. You have +1 follower!
