haha, yeah, I dont think the average person would really appreciate Grados. I know a lot of people who tend to focus on the bass more than anyhthing else, and Grados just won't do it for them. As far as portability, Id be way too nervous to take my Grados out of the house. I have some Beyer 1350s that are fantastic portables, so I keep my Grados safe and sound at home. 
 
What sort of work do you do in the hospital, if you dont mind me asking?

PM'ed :wink:. I guess I might have to get a cheap SR60 or 80 for port..
I was just thinking of getting something that can cover my ear during winter time. It is like hitting 2 birds with one stone.... Ear muff and fueling the hobby. :wink:

Yep, that would make sense for sure...I wouldn't have nearly the same problem taking my 80s with me as I would my 500s or GS1ks...got the PM, thanks!

Focker, thankyou for the comparison, although the T1s can be had for only $200 more than the PS500s, used ofcourse but still quite close.

True, I was going striclty on MSRP. I usually suggest people consider Jan Meier's package deal if they are interested in the T1s....I ended up paying around $900 for my pair new....it's a great deal, and the Meier amps are a very nice pairing.

Just like if I was FORCED to choose between the GS1ks and the 500s, I'd keep the 500s. Ive really become fond of the woodies, but the 500s just are a slightly better match for my ears. I still want to pick up a pair of RS-2s or RS-1s, though. I enjoy having a little collection of Grados....I sort of regret selling my 325s, but once the 500s showed up they just didn't really get much head time.

Are woodys cool looking or dorky if wear outside? I guess the only one who will appreciate it are the audiophile geeks... LOL, but the rest of the population is questionable. :xf_eek:. Also, since Grado are open back design, is it safe to use it outside during winter time? Going in and out of the workplace creates moisture or condensation. I wonder if the woodys will last longer than the metal ones if used outside.
My impression now are silver Grados such as PS500 , 325is seem to be like by the general population.
Any thought or experience from the massess?

Doesn't Gwarmi wear his RS-1 as a mobile headphone?

Anyways, I personally wouldn't take my woodies outside - the UV and weather damage is nothing something I want to imagine. I don't know if they look dorky or not, never looked at myself in the mirror with them on. I'm guessing yes though, since they're weird wooden tubes sticking off the side of your head; I suspect I look a lot like Shrek when wearing my RS-1. Whatever. They sound good. :D

I think regarding the general population bit - a lot of people are conditioned that metal products are best for any situation. Aluminum sells for whatever reason.

No, I don't own one of every one they produce, I have surrendered to the fact I will eventually end up with the entire family.  I only own 4 Grados right now, SR80i woodies, SR325i, RS-2 and GS1000is.  Gave my pair of SR60s to a friend in need a little while ago.
PS500s are on my "to get next" list.
