Grado is pretty busy last 2 years: new 60/80/225/325/rs1x/rs2x line, new cartridges, hemp limited. Thumbs up for a 'small' business

It is remarkable that Grado Labs has persevered and excelled in transducers at each end of the music reproduction chain !

Don't forget about the Pokémon partnership, the GW100 (are they older than 2 yeas?) and the GT220 TWS!

Received a pair of PS500e today. Really strange initial impressions, there’s some stuff that they do so well but the bass is, for me, basically nonexistent. They have the L pads on, I’ve tried with the S pads too but that wasn’t a good pairing, increased the bass a bit but at the (too great) cost of muddying the overall picture.

I’d love an over-ear pad solution, but I’ve tried some third-party G cushions and found those (with SR80) to lead to some nasty treble + reduced bass.

Also the PS2000e and PS500e have been sold out for a while, so it looks like they could be revamping the Professional series next, after the Reference series.

And if I recall, there was a page people discovered on Grado’s website earlier this year that listed all the upcoming X series headphones, and so far it’s been exactly right, with the next ones being the PS500x and PS1000x (there was no PS2000x listed).

If you'd like to add some bass without bleeding into the mids, I recommend trying these ones:

I just purchased within the past ten days a PS2000e from Crutchfield (a Charlottesville VA company).

How are you enjoying them so far?

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.

Excited. I'm glad the RS has the L-cush and not the flats.
Flats for prestige, L-Cush for Reference and G-cush for the Statement and Professional (except PS 500X) makes sense.

I hope the RS1X fixes the treble issue of the RS1e.
The RS1e sounded different than all the on ear "e" series. Wonder how the RS1X will sound. Will it will be consistent with the "x" series or again, sound different like RS1e.

There is a pair of GS1000i for sale on Canuck Audio Mart, in exceptional condition for approximately $600 US. It appears from the description that he may be the original owner. Here’s a “copy & paste” of the seller’s description and two photos :

Grado GS1000i in perfect condition.
Original box, 1/4 to 1/8 adapter, 15 feet cable extension and replacement pads included.

Sound is amazing.
Not using them anymore since I have a dedicated listening room.

If I didn’t already own a pair I’d buy these myself.

I made him a trade offer, but he hasn't responded.

If he has a dedicated listening room (in lieu of headphones?), he is likely an outright seller.

Possibly/probably, but I am selling a couple of closed back sets.
I asked if he might be interested a set of mobile or take to work headphones.
Under the guise of nothing ventured, nothing gained.
