Overview

SRP £685.00 GBP

The RS2i is the little brother of the RS1i and shares all of the characteristics of its distinguished elder sibling. It also boasts upgraded drivers, the new 8 conductor cable design and a handcrafted wooden air chamber. However, although the carved mahogany enclosure of the RS2i is smaller than that of the RS1i, it still produces a sound that is pure Grado; full bodied vocals, excellent dynamics and an ultra smooth top end.

The Frequency response is 14Hz - 28kHz. The drivers are matched to 0.05dB.

Jazz-Now - Magazine

"If you audition the Grado RS2s, you may find something you never heard before: the calm artistry of well made sound."

- Jim Merod

STEREOPHILE

"it's the full-bodied sound - especially the luscious, rich resonant bass - that makes the Grado phones special."

- Sam Telling

Wired Magazine

"Just as oak barrels enhance the flavor of wine, these mahogany drums refine the sound of music. The earpieces on Grado's RS2 headphones are handcrafted from specially cured wood and have a large open-air chamber. The result is a complex bouquet of decreased distortion, accentuated bass response, warm harmonic tones and a supersmooth top end. Sweet!"

- Seth Feman

CNET

"...the RS2s big-hearted sound won us over. It's more vivid than that of other high-quality headphones-bass is reach and touch-realistic, midrange is clear and true, and treble livelier than any other headphones we've tried."

- Steve Guttenberg
