Wow those are probably the best looking rs-1s I have seen posted here before. Unfortunaltly I don't think I will ever have $700 to go to headphones. Its too bad the didn't make all their headphones out of wood like that.

I don't think I will have $700 for cans either. But the posibility of scraping up $200 less for RS-2s made of the same wood, is not totally out of the question!

heh. nice pictures. i can't help but feel that the dof is a bit too narrow though. there is always some portion of the cup out of focus. but great lighting nonetheless. makes me wanna get some woodies.

I have to agree that Grados look ugly. They are ugly, they have an ugly design and I think the wood Grado uses is not too nice looking either. Open grain, not too well finished and a cheesy looking cheap headband. Yes they are indeed ugly. As to the studio shots, in the right lighting, anything can be made to look cool and sexy... though in the cold light of day they are still ugly.

Bleh RS-1 = teh ugly

K1000s and K701s ftw

I'd have to agree. There was someone a while ago, (I forget who exactly), who took some beautiful shots of the MS-2is. Even though I have no need for them, they were good enough for me to check the prices of a used pair...

 

[F107plus5]

Very true, guys; lots of good shots of MS-2s, some of them my favorites, with 414s.

Ran copies of them long ago! Part of the "pros of this, cons of that" mug shots of those guilty of putting my wallet in geopardy!!

Even found some good ones of pre "i" MS2s done by a pro in a portfolio of photographs of various subjects!

Very photogenic cans at that!

Wouldn't mind a few more good shots "suitable for framing"!!!

EDIT: As a matter of fact, a few weeks back I broke forum protocol by resurecting a "Share the love" thread about MS-2s so I could access the photos more easily!! Oops! Me bad.

Thanks for the upload, very nice pictures indeed.

Pictures no. 3 and no. 4 are may favourites - I like the diffused, soft lighting a lot. Nice job !

Some quite stunningly beautiful pictures there, I'm now using one as my desktop, where it has replaced the long established WW1 navy fleet. I personally find the RS-1 a gorgeous headphone, likewise for the metal Grados, but then I'm not renound for having the greatest taste in headphone aesthetics.

 

[dj_mocok]

Not all Grados are ugly. MS2 and RS1 are beautiful headphones. I don't know why some people call it ugly.
The plastic, black version ones (SR60, 80, etc), yes they are ugly.

But not MS2 or RS1, they are beuatiful.
The wooden RS1s (providing it's properly made

) IMO look classy.
MS2 (I don't really like the new, golden-finish MS2i) : Has a very stylish look to it. Black and silver colours go well together.

Nice bubinga HF1s!

Still those RS1 photos are something. That plug is so sexy I don't know where I'd stick it.
