RS1x ordered. I've owned the original SR125, the RS2i, the SR80e, the 325e, the GH2 and currently own the HF3. Will post impressions and pics once they arrive.

Looking forward to your impressions. Just looking at these makes me drool. I own the original button RS1 and the Hemps. I really appreciate the build and acoustics of the hemp material Grado uses.

What’s the difference between the RS2x and the Hemp?

If I’m not mistaken, they have the same driver, the same woods (maple and hemp), the same headband, and the same cord.

It looks like the RS2x just has an extra layer of maple (a sandwich of maple, hemp, maple), while the Hemp just goes maple inside and then hemp outside. And then the RS2x doesn’t have the button, plus, the photo appears to be using the normal L pads, as opposed to the F pads we’ve been seeing with the 4th gen drivers everywhere else so far.

Anything else?

The RS1x are $750

So they pumped the price by 100$… i can swear it was 649$ yesterday before they removed them from the web page.

I live in Canada too and no shipping here now?

RS1x and RS2x went up by USD $55. They're $550 and $750. That means the RS2x is going up directly against the Pokémon woodie which is $496, the GH4 which was also $550, and the PS500e, which is $595. The RS1x would be compared against the GS1000e ($995).

Grado admitted that the $420 price of the Hemp wasn't as profitable as they would've liked but they wanted to meme it. The RS2x is pretty much the Hemp but at a higher price, and the extra maple probably makes the RS2x a touch brighter, as the Hemp sounded comparatively dull against the RS2e/GH4.

Really would like to see how they are building this 3 layer wood cup. One piece looks more durable to me.

Beautiful picture of the cup, but maybe to much different wood for me.

So you're sure this is not a partnership with Twix?

My guess is that the RS2X is going to sound similar to the Hemps. The only real difference is the outer part made of maple (the driver part is algo made of maple on the Hemp). It also has the 38ohm impedence and same driver size.

The major sound difference might be the pad. I'm curious to test both with the same pads

I hope I'm wrong, since the RS2e is my all time favorite from Grado

Can not wait for your comparison with GH2!

Interesting, so grab Hemp while the stock last because it's "roughly" like a cheaper price of RS2X.

Anyway I tried Hemp with bowl pad, and simply dislike it, become bright and peaky.

I’m happily married but if I wasn’t married I’d be buying the RS1x right now lol. I have the Rs1e so wondering how they will compare? I’m assuming the RS1X will sound similar to the RS1e but will have more oomf like the 325x but with wider soundstage and better instrument separation. RS1x would be some good sounding headphones if so.

I think it’s time for you to make a decision.

44mm/50mm driver

Also the addition of cocobolo on the RS1x, in addition to maple and hemp.

It’s two types of wood vs three.
