I put the RS-1s on (out of curiosity) , listened for about 3 minutes, walked them over to the counter and told them to wrap em up. I came home with the headphones, did some googling and came across this site. I'm now searching out amps and DACs as I become further and further addicted to head-fi all thanks to the RS-1s.


Hahaha. I like this story

They're tremendous phones. I have an older pair that sound wonderful and with flat pads I find them more comfortable than quite a few of their competitors. They're also small enough to wear lying down and they do scale well -- using them now with my MAD I am impressed all over again, and with all kinds of music from rock to jazz to electronica (!) to chamber music. Nothing does cello like an RS1!

enjoy and best,

just ordered a pair from headroom myself. i auditioned one in an audio store a month or so ago and was absolutely blown away. at the time i thought "these are great, i hope i can get these someday." what can i say, i have a complete lack of self restraint.

Well, you could have a better deal for sure. But Headroom is a great company and their refund policy really makes things more comfortable for the buyer. Although i don't see you returning them. You won't regret, the RS-1 is simply amazing ...

Where do you find the best deal for Grado RS-1?

I am green with envy.

Enjoy

Congrats with the purchase!

The RS-1 is awesome, and I am certain it will sound sweet with the 336 using the right tubes!

In December, I paid $630 for mine from TTVJ including FedEx 2-day. You have to be a member of his newsletter for an extra 2% discount from his special price.

I don't think it's possible to regret the RS-1 purchase - it is an awesome headphone. Not to sully it's name by association with Budwiser, but it's the King of Dynamic Headphones!

You guys are killing me, ever since I got my SR225's (which I love) I have been wondering if I just should have gotten the RS1s.

It sounds like I desperately need to try out these headphones. I wonder what stores carry them in Seattle.
