Legendary HP1000 for sale too
I must admit I was captivated during the last month with the new Raal system. It was the only one which had something to give besides my Grados. At a much-much higher price!
Nevertheless I bought last week the RS-1x because I needed a smaller can than my GS3000e and my Hemp is terminated with a 6.3mm. So, essentially for the holidays, travels to go along with my fiio q5s.
I agree it needs the F pads...much more confortable as the stock L (and I always used the factory pad before). It really balances out the sound. Very smooth, probably the smoothest Grado I have, still punchy, nuanced...really like it! It is not as resolute and boundless as the Raal but I could totally live with it. It needed however in my home system a bit more powerful amp as the RA-1 to open completly up.
After reading some reviews I feared there will be no bass, but no problems with the F pads. A very well made, beatiful can! (And it smells good too!)
Ps: plus I am probably the only one, but I think the new cable is better as the old. It looks, feels more high value for me.
My kidneys are worrying.

That might be the one that tips me over to a high end headphone.

It looks identical, but he said there is a few changes. They brought back the 1/4" connector for example. Persoanlly I am done with the X Series, too many problems . Not as detailed even as the old one.
The goal after all is to be satisfied with your music. Sounds like you know what attributes you like. Carry on my friend!It looks identical, but he said there is a few changes.

Interesting…I never thought of Hemp as having ‘sub bass’…more of having a pleasing ‘warmth’ in the bass…Yeah the RS1x are something special. I wish they had a *bit* more sub bass like the Hemps but otherwise, they're near perfect for the price. F pads are definitely a huge improvement over the stock L pads for sure. Also, I agree with you - the new cable is great. Looks and feels more premium and my cups get twisted around far less often with the new cable. Plus it doesn't kink up like the old one sometimes did.
