I'm sat in a holiday cottage overlooking the sea with the sun begining to set and the sky turning red. I have my RS1 plugged in to my Mojo2 and streaming Hi-Res Masters: Classical Essentials from QoBuz. Absolute bliss.
The EQ in the Mojo2 makes for a truly magical experience. The venerable RS1 is still a winner for me.

Great phones and amp.
But the DAC and View are incredible.
TV people…
Your RS1i is the absolute masterpiece in terms of raw and also micro dynamics.
Never heard another dynamic driver match these. So it might perfectly match the Mojo2‘s FPGA. It does great with the Mojo.
The RS1e changed direction to carve out slightly more detail and much more sound coloration.
Regrettably a little but audible bit at the cost of these very special dynamic talents of it‘s predecessor.
Eventually I will find a chance to compare all 4 versions, especially i to x.
But started to look for a holiday cottage with such a view.
(KANN, Mojo and both RS (e) will definitely join in)
I’ve been listening to these Oreos all night, and compared them to my other Grados (Hemp, ps500, rs2e and sr225) and to my ears these are better. They have the upper hand in slam, staging, background, soundstage and details. They also sound more airy than the rs2e, and they seem faster on complex music. I just bought them yesterday, and they have about 7 hrs of playtime. Looking forward to the burn in process.

Bought them used from a member here, they had about 4 hrs of use before I got them. Must say I was pleasantly surprised with the sound, it ticks all the boxes for me.

This RA-1 / RS-1x duet is transcendent, makes me wonder: why the other gear?…music listening could be…(the inner dialogue continues…fun with music…fun with gear…)
Isn't the clamp pressure a bit too much on the RS1X for you? I'm saying this because the first thing I do when I get new grados is to open the headband and widen the space between the cups. It feels much more comfortable on my ears after doing this.

• I don’t have an issue with clamp pressure per se on the RS1x. I do have issues with the L-pads. I find them uncomfortable, and they produce for me a ‘cupped’ sound that makes saxophones / voices somewhat hollow and shrill.
• This does not happen with either the F-cushions or the G-cushions. I alternate between these on the RS1x depending on the perspective that I am in the mood for.
• If carefully bending the headband to open it up works for you, that is great. It seems that the headband is built with user adjustment in mind.
Before Grado used 40mm,44mm and 50mm driver.
Now they use 44mm and 50mm.
so 225e compared with rs2e, the bass is far better.(cause of 44mm driver?)
But will the 325x offer same good bass as rs2e/x ?
