Maybe they just dont like Grado in general

You just wait what you may think after you have heard RS2

This is fun! One nice thing about having two pairs of opposites phones is the ability to look at tunes from two different directions! I did have a funny thing happen about two days ago. I bought a new/old "Doors" CD and it turns out that the thing is recorded so brightly that it came out sounding harsh on my MS2i. It sounds great on my HD600s though! But yeah, the Grado sound sure is a good one for unrestrained head bobbing at that! The only problem I have with my MS2i is that I had to train myself to head bob side to side, and transfer some of the energy to foot stomping. The aluminum cans are so heavy that they'd fly all the way across the room if the cable didn't stop them!

As far as why the RS-2 can get a bad review ANYWHERE is a surprise to me too. I have not actually heard them, but my impression is that they have a fairly strong family resemblance to my MS2i. An nobody doesn't like THEM!(heh heh heh) But yeah; I guess not everyone is a fan of the overall Grado sound.
