Ok. It's not my cup of tea due to its suboptimal performance, in my opinion, when I evaluated it against other good headphones, during a week of comparative listening. It was the new Rs1e version.
Only reason I mentioned it is because people can read it and dismiss the Grado RS1 while it's actually a great headphone for rock (and other genres for that matter). A statement like that can steer them away from a headphone that might be their best choice. But yeah, you either love or hate the Grado sound. For you it was a definite miss, for me a hit.
However I love the Hifiman sound too. HE-500 are still my favorite headphones to date. I will be getting the HE-400i and probably be done for a while. Although I tend to say that a lot haha
