Pros: RS1's for $200 less - cans with solid bass, warmth and amazing clarity Cons: Too expensive for Grado newbies. At $69, the SR60s are a better introduction. from Shopping.com "Grado's RS-2 Reference Series headphones are strong contenders for world's best sound." from Cnet.com After reading the other reviews I expected the RS2's to hurt. When I put them on I realized that the only uncomfortable part of these cans is the pads. from Amazon.com I have bought neither the RS1 nor the RS2 yet, but listening to them (classical music & jazz) using an iPod, with Apple lossless files, and a Grado headphone amp, I was struck by how much better the RS1 was compared to the RS2. Anyone considering the use of such sound sources should check the RS1 out before committing to the RS2. from Amazon.com I can draw an interesting analogy to the Playstation 3 here. People have been saying, for example, that with the PS3, Sony has put technology first and gameplay second. Likewise, Grado has - beyond denial - put sound first and the actual "headphone-ness" of the headphones second. I normally wouldn't have a problem with that if the headphones weren't distractingly UNCOMFORTIBLE, but the RS-2s are. from Amazon.com By paying $500, it may seem like you should get the top of the line of a companies headphone. With the Grado RS-2, you nearly do. The RS-1 sells for $200 more but the difference is minimal. from Amazon.com The sound that this headphone produces is amazing. Now music has a new dynamic range. All it takes is one listen from these headphones and you have to own a pair. from Amazon.com By paying $500, it may seem like you should get the top of the line of a companies headphone.

OBVIOUSLY the sound is great, but a feature that is almost important as sound, when it comes to headphones, is comfort. from Amazon.com
