Keep in mind that altough i have heard both, i do not own either of them, so i'm going on memory alone here. but in my opinion, compared to thr RS2is, the RS1is have deeper bass, altough not PS500s deep, a slightly wider soundstage and a bit more treble extension. and, in case you're wondering, i believe that the $200 price difference is justified in this case.
Hope this helps.
PS500's
What i liked:
The soundstage was more opened up compared to my 225i's but still remained intimate.. and thats what i want these for
I felt the bass had a little bit too much emphasis, i liked it still, but would really prefer a tad less. it came across as not bloated or muddy, but rather that more dominant than im used to with a Grado.
I liked the mids. Vocals moved me with some songs. guitars seemed aggressive, but a bit tamed (they hit me in the face, but knew when to?)
id have preferred a tiny tiny boost in treble energy, but again i liked it.
Generally i loved the ps500, there were minor faults (what headphone doesnt have them) but i was wondering if the RS2i does what the PS500 doesnt.
GS1000i:
I'm really sorry, its been a while since i heard it and don't feel confident commenting on its sound,
Since you have heard every grado, could you also highlight the main differences between RS2i and RS1i please?
Thanks.
