Note the lack of protrusion of the 50 mm driver above the wood edge! Wooden it be mind-blowing if they also had burned them in for at least 300 hours prior to sale!? Those 50 mm drivers in the RS1e, PS1000e, and GS1000e REALLY benefit from burn-in.

so it's right under the ps1000e.
Will we have a ps2000e soon???
In addition every component in the GS2000e is considered carefully, the new purpose built 50 mm drivers, the 12 conductor ultra high purity copper cable and ear cushions, all work together for an engaging musical experience.
Been listening with my new GH-1s lately. I'm pretty new to this high end headphone thing, and was wondering if anyone can link to some audio/music which illustrates the "soundstage" of these headphones. I'm listening to my AAC music which is 256kbps through my Mac's headphone jack and im not sure if I can comprehend what the soundstage is.
Cheers

The thing that helps me set the benchmark for how big a soundstage can on a headphone is having access to a higher end reference setup. My brother has a completely balanced setup in a Sennheiser HD800 and Hifiman HE-6 going through Schiit Mjolnir 2 amp with the Benchmark DAC 2. For all the headphones I've heard, the HD800 balanced is the soundstage King. If you have a local Hifi shop nearby you could audition some other headphones to get a good idea about soundstage width.
Some of my own personal reference material in regards to soundstage:
David Bowie – Scary Monsters songs Ashes to Ashes, Fashion
Let’s Dance songs China Girl, Title Track
Dire Straits – Brothers in Arms songs Money For Nothing, Walk of Life
Frank Zappa – Joe's Garage song Watermelon in Easter Hay
Huey Lewis & The News – Sports song Heart & Soul
Led Zeppelin – II
Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon
Radiohead – OK Computer song Subterranean Homesick Alien
Rage Against The Machine – S/T
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Blood Sugar Sex Majik
Rush – Hemispheres song La Villa Strangiato
Permanent Waves song Freewill
Moving Pictures songs Red Barchetta, YYZ
Power Windows song Mystic Rhythms
Talking Heads – Remain In Light, Speaking in Tongues
The Cure – Pornography
The Smiths – Meat is Murder, Strangeways, Here We Come
U2 – The Joshua Tree
The Unforgettable Fire songs Pride, Wire,
War songs New Years Day, Refugee
Yes – 90125 song Owner of A Lonely Heart
Fragile song Roundabout
Yes the list looks like old grandpa music but it's tough to find reference albums in the modern age. The closest to it would be some Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson solo, and Opeth clean vocal stuff.
