A ’Coke bottle‘ tube on a Lyr? Intriguing!
What is it?

Yep. It’s a Shuguang Treasure.

Hmm…”straight out of the box” ==> improve over time …

That’s what I’m expecting!

Quick impression is that these are the best Grados I’ve heard straight out of the box. Detailed, but not sibilant. It’s missing the larger soundstage and extra bass I had with the Empyreans, but it’s great so far for the price.

Beauty!

Here’s a closer picture of the layering on the RS1x. This headphone is beautiful and has a very classic dark look.

Does the hemp wood have a rough or smooth texture to it??

Great question. I walked over to them now to feel it. The hemp section feels like a smoothed cork texture. I can feel that some of the fibers stick out. Definitely rough compared to the cocobolo top ring.

They have a very home style look to them. It’s growing on me fast. You are very fortunate to have them so early.

It was just good timing. Sold my Empyreans to have a better WFH setup with near field speakers and a decent pair of headphones.

It looks like particle board. I always thought that about the Hemps too.

Getting mine in a few weeks. Being patient. Thanks for the photos.

Looks nice! I def prefer their look to my RS2x. I was wondering if you had any initial takes on the headphones? I'm thinking of grabbing the RS1x to compare with the RS2x but haven't heard enough people talk about them yet.

The more I look at this pic the more handsome they look. Would love to hear what you think after they settle in for a bit.

Interesting times. I can't wait to reads peoples impressions on RS-1X and RS-2X and comparisons to Hemps, SRXx and what sort of amplification they pair well with.

I wonder how soon until Grado starts doing detachable cables. Can't be far behind. I think its the last thing modders do they haven't picked up
