Newbies here, exploring Grasp headphones, still deciding T70 hd650 and Grasp. May I ask are all the SR(Pretisge) series, ps500e, rs2e using the same type of 44mm driver ?

I'm one that can't stand any flats, Grado, TTVJ or Earzonk, just to uncomfortable for me. I also like the sound with G pads better than the flats and with the L pads it depends on the headphone. Since my 225e is modded it might be a reason why the G pads sound better to me. The other headphones like my RS2e sounds better with the G pads versus the stock L pads and the Ypsilon and Nhoord driver builds that I have built are tuned with dynamat, sorbothane and felt with G pads in use.
Thanks for the queries on 44mm drivers. The Ps500e and RS2e is 2 times and more from the 325e. How different is the driver ? It is on the sound tuning ?
@joseph69
may i ask you something? from ps1000e which stax suit you most? 009 or 007?
Sure,
I prefer the 009.
Please could you try and explain the RS-2e / G-Cush sound , i'm interested in this . Thanks
does it has to be driven from BHSE? do the KGSSHV could do the work?
Am shocked to only one pair of Grados in the What Hi-Fi Awards for headphones list. They only had the 325e there last year too.
This year:
Best Home on Ears under £100 - AKG K92 £50. I mean that's beating the SR60 and SR80e. However I think it's because they have not reviewed the 60e and 80e.
When you look back at their review for the SR60i. They say they wait to see if one day something will knock the might SR60 off the top spot.

Maybe this is why Grado have had a price change though; because competition has come along. As the SR60i was £100 when this review was made. Whereas today in the UK we can get 60e for about £70, and the 80e for about £90.
What Hi-Fi award for Best Headphone £100 to £200 is AKG 500 at £130. However this headphone won a plethora of awards at £250, and has since had price reduction for a long time.
The Grado 325e won best headphone £200 to £400. Which is odd when last year the Shure SRH1540 costing £400, won Best Home on Ears at £300+.
Anyway the top spot this year goes to Beyerdynamic T1 2nd Gen, at £850, for best headphone over £400.
It leaves me wondering what they would think of the PS500e if they ever bothered getting round to reviewing it. Quite a few folk have said the PS500e is identical to a GH-1 with smoother mids, or clearer mids, or something. Given folk love the GH-1, that's high praise for the PS500e. .....I was actually a little worried about the PS500e because the PS500 only scored four stars with What Hi-Fi. The comment that concerned me that they said the PS500, "Could do with a touch refinement". Funny really because they quote the PS500 when they talk about using various headphones for reviewing amps etc.
Anyway I am just thinking out loud and not planning on buying any headphones right now.
PM sent.
I wouldn't pay any mind to whoever thinks whatever headphone is the "best". From my experience with the so called "best" headphones their all "different" and it comes down to personal preference. Every time I read a review of the latest/greatest headphone (every other month it seems) their "the worlds greatest headphones"…what a joke!
