Grado RS-1

The RS-1 is the Masterpiece of the Grado collection, the Top Of The Range product which oozes class both in looks and sound. Featuring hand crafted mahogany earpieces using an intricate curing process, Grado have been able to optimize the tonal quality. The RS-1 uses dynamic transducers in an open-air configuration, the cups being open-backed.

The result is a smooth, coherent sound with detailed dynamics. Frequency response ranges from 12Hz - 30KHz and the drivers are matched to 0.5dB. Weighing 9oz (255g), the headphones are an example of the
wonder of mother nature with a gorgeous, honey-coloured look
