I had, and enjoyed, a pair of RS2's for over 14 years or so. I had them rebuilt by Grado in 2013. I always found them very engaging but ultimately they lacked definition and extension in the low bass and upper treble. I have since moved on to Hifiman 400's, as they filled my need for a fuller and more extended sound. They also impart more detail and are a great value, too.

My suggestion is that you continue to enjoy your Grado's but if you fancy headphone listening, you might want to add to your stable a pair of Hifiman 400i's, or the older 400's, which can be had used for around $200.00 or so. You won't be disappointed.

Happy listening!
