Grado RS-1 headphone

@A_COC0NUT do you know anything about the og RS-1?

Steve here gives his thoughts…

Seems a tad expensive?..

From what I can tell, that seems to be an early RS1i before they explicitly labeled them as an “i” generation.

Sadly not all the pictures are there anymore, but this is a pretty good resource for identifying older RS1 versions.

That price might be a bit high, but the RS1i is often more liked than the RS1e, so a good condition one could reasonably go for nearly the same price as a brand new model (is that about how much a new RS1e costs in the UK?).

As @A_COC0NUT said, this is a RS1i, and wayyy too expensive. I wouldn’t even pay half of the price (there’s actually one on UK eBay as well for less than £500). It’s generally not as valuable as OG RS1 (except the transitioning RS1) which don’t go more than £350 in the UK.

Brand new RS1e costs £699. Used around £500
