Those ultrasones would be very dangerous to wear while driving.

Any headphones are dangerous to wear while driving. Audio awareness is a key aspect of traffic and vehicular safety.

OK, dad cap is off. Back to discussion about Grados!

It’s really weird with Grados for me. When I first got my ps500e and my rs1e at different times. I was blown away like never before when I first heard them. Then after using them for a while I switched back and forth playing cds between the higher end models and the 80e’s and hearing absolutely no difference between the two. Do Grado users suffer serious placebo effect? If so, I’m one that does as well.

No more dangerous than listening to a full blown car sound system at extreme levels.. where even the sound of a semi truck horn be damned….

I got pulled over by the police for wearing headphones whilst driving. They weren't plugged in, forgot I had them on

The police ticketed you for not having the headphones plugged in …. also, a good thing that your music taste is …. the coppers aren’t too keen on boy bands, etc. ….

No ticket, just a stern look. Once they established that I wasn't drunk (their assumption n seeing me driving along with a pair of shp9500's on), they let me go

I showed them Pigs

You could say I fought the law, & I won

Questions to Grado Gurus
Which model is the follower of GH2 (GH1) - is that GH4?
Whats the difference between GH4 and RS2x?
Till yet, I seldom listen Grados and when for short time.

With the sound that this pairing conveys, I should be mulling multiple FS transactions in the Head-Fi classified adverts …

How weighty are those things? Just from what I remember w/ the weight of my sr325s, I'd imagine these tend to give one's neck muscles a proper workout holding them up.

I want one...

They are heavy but the headband distributes the weight very well. Also, the Nyczaj Audio gimbal assemblies hold the gimbal rods securely - no earcup downward sliding - and can be torqued.

So, today was the day... I picked up the GS3000x. The wood does look beautiful... but unfortunately it seems to have a bad left driver: not completely dead, but some frequencies seem very quiet, resulting in stereo mid moved to the right, esp. voices. Just checked with my GH2 to make sure its not the source material or the electronics, but the problem is there directly from my iPhone (where I checked with a frequency generator), my iPod as well as my Hugo. Hm. Not quite what I expected at this price. Also not nice: there's a mark in the wood on the right cup.

Not a state to do any judgments, yet... sound is... just so so. Might get used to it, but atm it seems quite likely I'll sell it soon after sorting this problem out. Part of this might be the frustration of receiving a malfunctioning unit, and hearing it correctly it might have been off to a better start. Yet it won't get any lighter, and despite the larger headband with even some cushioning I do feel its weight -- this is quite unexpected, but not catastrophic.

They are beautiful! But for that kind of money, I want perfect. They would be going back immediately for me. But I would want a replacement set ASAP.
