i've searched every thread about these headphones but still don't feel like i have a good grasp on them. they seem to occupy an obscure spot overshadowed between the 325i and RS1, treated as if they're not a legitimate headphone in their own right but instead a junior version of the RS1. i've read some reviewers claim otherwise, that the RS2 have a unique character and actually best the RS1 in some regards. is there anyone that's heard both and can elaborate on the differences and merits of the RS2 against the RS1?
also, for reference, i started with the 80's and now use the 225's, and i can definitely hear a lot of improvements between the two. how can i expect the 225's to compare to the RS2's? i've heard some people say they have a similar character, although i think i've heard that comparison made with every single grado headphone so i don't know if it's meaningless jabbering. if anyone can tell me specifically what separates these two phones it would be the most helpful to me of all the questions i have...
