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!

The RS-2X headphones are beautiful to look at and even better sounding. The first time you pick them up you are amazed at the crafsmanship of the real wood and leather. Secondly, I was surprised at how light weight they are. However, good looks wouldn't mean much if the sound wasn't great. The sound of these headphones is awesome no matter what kind of music you listen to. The real test of any audio gear is if you sit down to listen and the next thing you know 2 hours have gone by. The Grado sound draws you in and I keep wanting to hear another recording to see what I've missed in the past with my other headphones or speakers.

The customer service is outstanding, as well. Rich Grado does a great job of taking care of the customer.
