Looks interesting!GW100x released with triple the battery life of their predecessors, 60% less leakage than wired Grados.

I’ve had a pair for a while. Very comfortable, nice balanced sound, a bit better when wired.Looks interesting!
As mentioned, can't go from SE to balanced with an adapter, only the opposite.Hi everyone, i had Grado rs2e and bought a new hifiman ef400 amp, how can I connect my grado rs2e to the balanced connection of my hifiman ef400 amp? is there a converter for this? Thank you.
Prior to hearing the raves about the Hemp the RS2 was definitely in my radar, but finding an older one used in Europe is not exactly easy, that's why the lower cost option seemed appealing to me. But I am still considering the RS2x, it's definitely more expensive than the Hemp around here but not by a massive amount... the tone of some of the Hemp reviews makes it sound like they punch above their price range, that's kind of the interesting thing about them.I have a very similar story, if you decided Grado is something you like, I would recommend looking into RS2e, preowned you can pick one up for couple hundred. Much more mature sound when comparing to 325 or Hemp IMHO
So after a few weeks with the HiFiMan XS, which I still maintain are absolutely stunning headphones, the clarion call of the Grado Hemp brought me back and I'm somewhat sad to report that the XS will have to go back. It's a funny thing, I would say the XS is "better" in terms of technical performance but when it comes to making me just close my eyes and melt into the music the Hemp has that gold medal by a pretty solid margin lol
I’ve auditioned the RS1x, RS2x and Hemp. I have the SR325i and recently acquired the RS2e after having heard the above noted offerings. To me the RS2e is the best Grado in the entire RS lineup, past and present, unless of course you listen to EDM. You won’t find one in excellent condition under US$350.

It's weird because aside from some minor niggles I can't pick out anything wrong with the XS, it just doesn't "sing" to me like the Hemp does. I'm absolutely going to miss that huge, spacious sound thanks to those massive drivers and ear cups but in the end what matters most isn't what has the best measurements, it's what makes me enjoy my music the most lolThat was my experience with the XS; it was excellent in every way...yet somehow it didn't click, so I returned it and bought my RS1x.

Preowned RS2e without a doubt!! see my post earlier today!!!I'm on the fence about getting an preowned RS2e or a new RS2x, does anybody have an opinion about it? Thanks.
@Saudan, have you compared both the E and the X versions? Why do you prefer the E version in terms of sound signature and/or value proposition?Preowned RS2e without a doubt!! see my post earlier today!!!
