Re: has anyone road tested these ?
to be honest @ full price neither can i, but i recently read a reveiw of them and they said that speakers that produce the same quality of sound as them would set u back @ the very least 4 grand. i,m always getting hassled for playing my speakers to loud so i was thinking of investing in a decent set of quality headphones and these are supposed to be the best for around this price range ( believe me i,ve seen ones @ a much higher price than this ) and i was also recomended sennhiesers hd 650's. i currently have hd 25's the 600 ohm studio ones but although they can handle high pressure sound they lack a true depth.Comment

Well, these headphones really aren't about looks. It's function over forum. And yes I have a pair of these along with a pair of Sennheiser HD600s. I purchased the Grados used for ~$500 US. If you're an audiophile/you're serious about your music you won't regret it.Comment

Re: has anyone road tested these ?
I haven't heard the 650's so I can't say about that. All I can give you is a comparison btw the 600 and RS-1s. Basically it will come down to what kind of music you want to listen to with the headphones. 95% of the time I use my RS-1s. They have really tight punchy bass that's great for uptempo music - I use them to listen to house and rock. I also use the flat earpads vs the bowl shaped ones. I hated those. The very first time I listened to my RS-1s was with the bowls, it made me sick to my stomach. The 600s really shine when you're listening to silky, smooth female vocals - nothing can match it. The Senns also has a really wide soundspace - and trust me if you ever do an A to B of the RS-1's to the 600s, you will notice the soundspace difference immediately.
Another thing to consider is the price of course. Last I checked, the RS-1 were still more exepensive than either the 650 or 600.
There's also issue of amplification. I have a dedicated headphone amp, a Singlepower PPX3-6cg7. It's the old model with the p2p wiring. I think I dropped another ~$550 US to purchase a used model. But it was a great buy - I use it all the time and it goes well with either of my RS-1s or 600s.Comment

Re: has anyone road tested these ?
yea the rs1's need to be driven properly but i was also looking @ the dedicated grado headphone amp the RA1 as i can get a package deal thats not going to break the bank but will hit the pocket a little but i will benifit me in the long run and again there are other headphone amp options and to be honest i dont like the fact that the RA1 is made from a solid lump of wood, looks good on the headphones but not on the amp, i quite like the look of the valve amps like your singlepower 1 but again its just a case of finding what one is the best for driving low resistance phones, theres alot of options out there, i was looking @ the 650's which as basically the 600's only improved by designing new drivers for them, the grado mid range is legendary which is pulling me towards getting these...i listen to a range of music so i dont think that the sound i listen to comes into it really as i,m just looking @ buying a good investment into my music life if that makes any sense... i think its worth it but i,m wanting to make the right choice, to be honest i think its going to be the rs's anyway with the 650's being sold for less than ?200 i guess i could pick them up later if i dont like what i hear.
hey thanks for helping me its appreciatedComment
