The Grado RS-1 headphones are the Masterpiece in the superb and world-class collection of Grado headphones. It is a stellar product, brimming with elegance in finish and sound reproduction. Featuring handcrafted Mahongany earpieces made using an intricate curing process, Grado has been able to optimize the tonal quality. The Grado RS1 headphones use dynamic transducers in an open-air configuration, the cups being open-backed. The result is a smooth, coherent sound with detailed dynamics. Frequency response ranges from 12-30 kHz and the drivers are matched to 0.05dB. Weighing 9oz, the headphones are an example of the wonder of mother nature with a gorgeous, honey-colored look.
As testament of their stellar performance, the Grado RS-1 RS1 headphones are the only product ever nominated by Stereophile for their “Product of the Year” distinction, two years in a row!
