I took a look at the video again to make sure, and he actually does use the GW100 in wireless mode, and from the sound sample, it's too boomy. The wires coming out of his ears are from his in-ear microphones. So you're correct here.
Boomy? No
Lovely…❤️

So, do you guys have any news on which drivers the pokemon models use?

Grado said that they are specifically made for these models, but I think they are probably 80x and 325x drivers, just concluding by the price and the looks of the drivers, I have no official information on this

I thought the official site said SR 80x for all the models, which I found strange given the cups and price differences.

That's why I think it was a mistake on that page. The part that talks about the drivers on Pokemon center says:
  • Includes Grado Labs Prestige Series SR80x headphones with attached auxiliary cable
  • Part of the Pokémon Audio Collection collaboration with Grado Labs

But it also says that its impedance is 32ohms, whereas the 80x is 38 ohms

On the official release, they say "Our 4th generation drivers were just released and can be found in each Pokémon headphone" and that "These speakers were specifically fine fine-tuned for their Pokémon housings (for example, a wooden housing paired with a ventilation system in the shape of a Poké Ball)"

But I still have no idea which 4th generation drivers they used and why the impedence is 32 ohms, instead of 38.

Back in may/june they write 32ohms for the new x- series on their site.
so maybe they mean 38 insted of 32?
Is it same driver in all prestige and pokemon?

IMOHO: RS1e is more recessed than the SR325x, I like the RS1e as it's lighter and prettier, but I think the SR325x sounds a bit more opened and forward.

I really like both of them, but if I had to pick one I would most likely choose the SR325x.

I own both.
Ok great thanks! I was wondering since there is a lot of hate for the RS1e and I’m getting a pair soon.

people hate on everything. dont overthink it. there are really only subtle differences between models and its mostly preference. wood cups and metal are both awesome. only mistake would be to not use flats :wink:. at one point i sold off my $1200 rs1i system to go back to sr60 straight from the laptop lol.
