Customer Reviews
On a recent car trip to Florida, I took my new Grado headset and plugged it into my cell to listen to music. My wife reflexively turned the car radio up because she could hear the music from my headset. I am asking myself WHY would I spend $500+ for headset that I have no privacy which is why one purchases headsets for. I would like an answer. I am considering returning these as they do not appear what your advertising promotes. Please answer promptly. Thank you
Hello Michael, I'm sorry the headphones were not what you expected but they are what an open back headphone is. An open back headphones is able to produce a different sound signature because of the air that is able to flow through the housing. If there is something misleading on our website please share that with me as I would address that. If you didn't have a prior knowledge of the differences between open back and closed back headphones thats fine and you are able to return the headphones for 30 days from the date of purchase, you will find more information about how to return them and what the policies are on our website, here is a link...

I would ask you to reconsider your 1 star rating though as the headphone is exactly what it should be, unless you don't feel they sound good. I would appreciate if you left your comment though so that if someone else is unaware of the differences between open back and closed back headphones your comments will help them make the right decision.
I recently bought the RS2x as a gift for my niece who is a singer/composer artist. Figured she would appreciate the quality of sound produced by a Grado product. My niece is pleased about the RS2x. Last I heard, she listens to music with the RS2x everyday since XMAS
Would you use a machine for copyiny your documents whose goal was to add color or change fonts or delete every occurance of a particular letter or word? Of course not.
Since I think in the way about my music, then the Grado RS2x are my first choice in headphones.
I hear a lot about "the Grado sound" and what it means to me, is fidelity. The artist's intent. The director's vision. That is what is brought here with a pair of RS2x's. Discovering something new in a song you have heard more than a hundred times prior, is what Grado will deliver. That is joy.
I wear hearing aids. . .and enjoy classical music. These RS-2X headphones certainly sound superb - and they solve an annoying problem I've had with other headphones. Over the ear headphones with a tight seal cause my hearing aids to whine with a feedback loop. However, these headphones, with the open foam cover, avoid that feedback loop. I've tried many alternatives over the years, and Voila - these RS-2X solve the feedback problem, and give exceptional sound. Bravo!
