The newest edition to the Grado family, the RS2i is the little brother of the RS1i. The characteristics of the RS2 remain the same as it"s distinguished big brother, with the hand crafted mahogany, but there is a smaller wooden air chamber. Although a miniature version of the RS1, they still maintain an overall sound that is pure Grado - warm harmonic color, full bodied vocals, excellent dynamics and ultra smooth top end. These truly are an avid audiophiles dream. Great sound is also alligned with superb comfort. The Grado RS2 has an upscale flexible, leather-covered headband and old-school metal height adjusters that connect the earpieces to the headband which allow for up-and-down height adjustment. You can also control full 360 degree rotation of the earcups.
