Product Information
At the top of the Grado line, the RS1 escort you right into the middle of the musical presentation. Instead of being in the the room with the music, you're onstage with the band. Their dynamic presentation hits you hard and leaves you running to catch up. They deliver detailed highs and mids, along with tight bass. They are moderately comfortable, but for a more comfy fit you can bend the glove leather-covered headband. We should add that although the RS1 are the best headphones on the market for use directly out of a portable, for a more stunning musical ride you should use an amp.

The RS1 has gone through many iterations, and these fall into the early "Classic" period of production.  These headphones are very finely made (the wood really looks beautiful), and this example, though nearly 8 years old, is in excellent condition.  The only thing I've noticed, if you want to get picky, is that the black metal grill on the right cup has a tiny spot where the silver metal is showing through.  The sound is amazing (my favorite grados so far - I've owned the SR60, SR225, HF1, HF2, RS2 and RS1) but my interests are always shifting so I'm unloading these.  To many people the older RS1s sound superior to the new model, yet you can get these for significantly less money, making them a great value.  The only reason I'm selling them is to put money towards a different hobby.  Free shipping to anywhere in the CONUS, $25 to anywhere else in the world.

Note - please don't be put off by the one negative feedback I received.  I been on ebay since 2002 and this was the first time a buyer was disappointed (out of almost 100), and they would not have been disappointed if they would have communicated with me.

Since I'm getting questions - these will come with the extension cable and grado 1/4 to 1/8 adapter, but no box.  Thanks!
