  No doubt you are correct about his motives.  Still, it ended well, and I am happy.

I couldn't quote your post for some reason, but I definitely agree that the asking price was high for the RS2.

When I first started this hobby my first cans were the sr60i. I loved it and I do a lot of researching, which of course included headfi, then I decided that the ms2 would be my dream cans. Time passed and I forgot about it, I was very happy with each and any of my 325s and I even had a ms pro and a rs1i. Now that I've got the ms2e, I suddenly remember I was a broke ass student living on the edge of Germany where I got my first Grado. I really wanted the ms2 and it would be my endgame, I really thought that would be my limit on audio.

Then you guys spent 5 pages talking about the rs2e and now my upgraditus is really tingling...

  Spent a couple hours at Audio Advice in Raleigh, NC today.  Great folks.  My thanks to Ivan for putting up with me.  Purchased the Grado RS2e.  Had a chance to listen to PS500e, SR80, SR325, and GS1000...not sure which letter suffix on all of these.  I am burning in the RS2e now, but will give them a listen later on tonight when things quiet down.  I will say that the GS1000 are indeed very sweet, but I cannot see my way clear to drop a grand on phones...not right now, anyway.  So, my Grado journey has begun.
 

Congrats on your new RS2e’s - they’re my go-to headphones - hope you enjoy them...

I know you love your pet (dogs?) and everything, and since I have allergies I can't do this but in a parallel universe I would gladly take the AD2000 off your hands so you can fund them rs2e. Maybe just get them, maybe.....

Thanks!  So far, so good.  The clarity of the sound is astounding.  Like nothing I have previously experienced.

I just ordered the RS2e. If you search this thread, you will see I tried the 225e almost two years ago and LOVED them but had to let them go due to financial circumstances. I told myself I would buy them back again, and I suppose this is my way of redressing that wound.
 
You guys are bad.

Hello, somebody can tell me the differences betwen SR80i and SR80e and if the change is interesting?.
 
Thanks

Hey everyone - Guess I am on the hype train too!

I went to a local dealer yesterday (only one around) and luckily they had most of the E series on display.

I tried a lot of headphones and through careful listening I chose the RS2e. It is just so clear and open and transparent!

I JUST purchased the 80e the other day but all it did was give me an itch that these new RS2e's scratch!!

At the store my personal preferences were 60e < rs1e < 80e < 325e < 225e < RS2e

(Those were the ones I did the most listening to)

By the way, the 225e sounded really awesome, it was a decent second place for me!

Lots of love for the RS2e right now: it's gorgeous.

The e-series is the new series. The i-series was the previous generation of Grado Prestige Series headphones.
 
The general opinion is that the e-series is clearer and more weightier sounding, as well as being less bright. The bass is said to be fuller too.
 
I can not fully speculate, because I owned the SR125i and now have the 225e. I can hear the signature change, but I did very much love the 125i. (I have a hankering to hear the 125i again.)
 If you want further reading there is a thread called something like the Grado e-series thread. Lots of impressions there.

Congrats!  Hope you enjoy the RS2e as much as I am.  My initial impressions were like yours.  The clarity and transparency is unlike any headphone I have ever owned.
