GRADO - RS1i HEADPHONES

Two Time Stereophile 'Product of the Year' Winner and 'Class A' Rated Component!

The RS1i is a substantial upgrade from the previous generation RS1, note the difference in the driver cabinet and the thickness of the wires, this is a big improvement. Featuring a new species of handcrafted Mahogany earpieces made using an intricate curing process; Grado has been able to optimize tonal quality. The RS1i uses new upgraded dynamic transducers and the new 8 conductor cable design all in an open-air configuration, the cups being open-backed. The result is a smooth, controlled and coherent sound with detailed dynamics. Frequency response ranges from an incredible 12Hz to - 30 kHz and the drivers are matched to 0.05dB. Weighing only 9oz, the RS1i are an example of the wonder of Mother Nature with a gorgeous, dark-colored Mahogany finish.

"We've always had bit of a headphone fettish at What Hi-Fi? We're often talking about how they can create your own private universe, plug directly into your favorite piece of music. Now we've heard the Grado RS1s, and our fettish has become an epic, full blown love affair. Ooooh..."
