Very true I never purchased the RS1es mainly because of what people were saying about them but then I got a great deal and just wanted to try them out, glad I did because they sound darn good!

I do think if there were any issues (ear clearance, etc.) they were corrected. When I heard them for first time I was happy to hear how well they performed.

My vintage RS1 uses flat pads and sounds superb. The new RS1x fits perfectly into the slot left by the RS1e.

When I got the GS2000e some years back, it did come with the 6.3 to 3.5 mm adapter as well as a quite long 6.3 mm extension cable (I think it's ~12 feet long)

Hi Dana!

Yes, this is what it should have come with according to the Grado website.

Hi both my PS 1000, and my second hand Gs 1000 not the Elgrand version. Came with the 6.3 short adapter and the long extension cable. In the box there is a space on the left for these cables. What's your box look like ???

Hi funkymartyn!

The box is approximately 35 x 25 cm (14'' x 10'') in size and has a magnetic 'flap-type' top cover and contains a foam insert inside. The headphones are on the right hand side and the cable is on the left. But I don't think the provision for the cable is large enough to accommodate an extension cable. The cable is very thick and not very flexible at all.

Cheers!

Which of the several models you mentioned sound like they have a lackluster high frequency?

Sorry for the late response, I'm talking about the RS1e vs RS1i. Most people seem to like the treble in the RS1i more than the RS1e. I've seen some people say they like the RS1e more but they definitely seem to be a minority. I guess that doesn't necessarily mean the RS1e treble is bad, just in comparison to the i.

Has anyone ever compared a Grado with a ZMF?

Hi!

When you say JetCarrier gives you an address in the US, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean you buy the item anywhere in the US and then have it shipped to this address and then they send it to you from that address? A mediator of a sort?

Also, what is the largerst and heaviest thing you have ever bought and how much did you pay for the shipping? If it isn't a secret, I'd really like to know. I have some friends in the US but the shipping prices are dreadful - 250 dollars at least.

Cheers!

Go to their website. https://www.jetcarrier.com/cms/en/
Check pricelist for shipping by air or boat.

My RS1x showed up today, along with an extra set of G and L pads. Now I can do head to head with my GS2000e with the same pads.

Congratulations, enjoy the new phones, they are really well balanced in my opinion. Nice to have the extra pads. 50 to 100 hours gets you there in my opinion but they do sound good out of the box. Have fun….

So far, nice right out of the box. Will be a nice replacement for my 325s which are in rough shape. I just find the G pads to be a lot more comfortable to wear over long periods, so if they work well with these RS1x, and are more portable than the GS2000e, it’s a win win

So far my favorite Grados are the GH4s. I've been eyeing the statement series for a while hoping to get better soundstage and I wanted a set that was designed for the G pads for better comfort.

I came across a deal on a GS3000E pair and got them. So far I'm not sure I like the sound. The bass seems like it might be slightly fuller which I like but the mids sound a little muddy and highs not as crisp as with the GH4s. Should I try the GS1000E or stick with the GH4s?

If you end up wanting to sell your 3000s let me know. I’d like to compare them to my 2000s but don’t want to buy a brand new pair

I love Grado!

If anyone’s interested, it appears Bay Bloor Radio is selling the GH4 for $499 CAD, compared to the retail price of $750 CAD.

It says “Store Demo”, so I’m guessing that means it’s just one unit and they’re trying to offload it for cheap on Black Friday?

How do you buy just call them ? Don’t see a buy button

I’m in the market for a GH4 or an RS2e. GH4 seems interesting.
