Without a doubt one of the best sets of headphones ever constructed, the Grado RS-1 Reference Headphones deliver the most advanced sound available from a headphone. The craftsmanship is at a performance leading standard, with the cured mahogany being hand crafted with the greatest attention to detail. 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 that ooze class. What HiFi? Magazine loves the RS-1, giving the Grados a five star rating and noting, “Unbelievable: look at the price, then look at the five star rating. They really are worth every penny”.

The Grado RS-1 is like nothing you have ever heard before from a headphone. It’s just like strapping two amazing speakers onto your head without the weight!!! The Sunday Times say: “Wearing them…is like sitting in the ideal spot in a room designed for acoustic perfection”. These are the serious headphone listener’s dream come true.
