Wow, what ridiculous prices. 700£ for the RS1e, that's 880 euros or 1200 usd!!! Almost double the US price. At that price might as well just import them from the US and pay taxes:
700USD + ~30% including VAT+customs tax = 910USD (660eur/530£), 300usd less.

Too bad you guys in the UK can't get them used from each other.
As a devout Grado fan I feel for those outside the US who must pay exorbitantly inflated prices. That being said I must confide honestly my opinion that as good as Grado's are they are not the be all and end all in audiophile headphones. To me they're a niche product that expresses one of the most ethereal aspects of this very fun hobby, and that is personal preference. At our recent hp meet here in MPLS, actually it was in St. Louis Park, I got to listen to kvtaco17's Senheiser HD800's through my little WA6. All I can say is that those German engineers are some pretty smart fellows. I'm sure they have some kind of "sound measuring machine" that cost more than John Grado's whole operation. Vat r dose tings called again, lasers and computers? Diatribe over, I sit here with my RS1's on and am thankful that I was born in the greatest country ever! Happy Burthday USA! I have to add a short addendum: the super ultra-nationalism expressed by us Americans on this day is really just crazy over the top.Wow, what ridiculous prices. 700£ for the RS1e, that's 880 euros or 1200 usd!!!

No doubt, but it's not like the HD800 sells for inflated prices in the US either. In fact not long ago there was a deal on amazon to get it for 900usd new. We in Europe still pay 1000 euros.
I believe that price difference between the US and Europe is because America has a much bigger market. We might not make all the cool **** anymore, but we buy everything!No doubt, but it's not like the HD800 sells for inflated prices in the US either.
