Product Description

Leading the way for our 4th generation X Drivers, the redesigned RS1x combines Maple, Hemp, and Cocobolo wood into a vivacious and elegant headphone.

The Sound of Wood
For the first time, 3 different wood species are working together in a Grado headphone. The housing is made of a Maple sleeve, Hemp core, and Cocobolo outer ring. Built with wood for its warm and embracing tonal abilities, but finding the right balance of three separate woods is no simple task. The reward though is an RS1x that opens Grado to a new level of sound. Signature Sound - Pulling everything we can from the new 50mm X Driver, our signature sound is brought to new heights when combined with Maple, Hemp, and Cocobolo. Maple takes care of most of the work, Hemp smooths out top and low ends, while Cocobolo adds that extra punch. Together the sound the woods produce, when combined with our special processes, are full-bodied, dynamic, and truly defined. X Series Drivers - The RS1x is the first headphone to be built with the larger 50mm X Drivers. Specifically tuned for the tri-wood RS1x, this new speaker design features a more powerful magnetic circuit, a voice coil with decreased effective mass, and a reconfigured diaphragm. Reengineering these components for our 50mm drivers improve efficiency, reduces distortion, and preserves the harmonic integrity of your music. New Cable & Headbands - Along with the speakers, the cables and headband have been redesigned for the RS1x. Housed in a more durable exterior, the new super annealed copper 8-conductor cable reveals even more of your music with improved purity. The new black leather headband features a white-stitched accent. Our first wooden headphones were built in the middle of the night back in 1994, wood has been a staple on our workbench ever since. Each RS1x headphone is hand-assembled by our team in Brooklyn - these headphones go from workbench to workbench until they’re ready for your ears.

Grado, the Best of All Worlds

Grado, the Best of All Worlds
When this product was released, I was stoked to try it out. I had high hopes for it because, I really enjoyed the 60x, and the 325x. Both of those deliver on most of people would need, but this headphone is a BIG step up from those. When you feel it, the wood is smooth, the Cocobolo wood smells like it came out of a rain forest, and the rest feels very solid. However, these might not be a bid deal if they didn't sound the way that they do. For reference, I have around 15 hours on them as of this review, so they're not at their full potential yet. For the lows, they punch and and have such a rich tone. Compared to the 325, they sound more refined, and are more natural and soothing. The mids have a nice lush smooth sound, that works well for every genre. For the highs, there was a slight harshness on the 325, at the very top end, and that is since resolved. They are alot tamer, and are just "there", and never get harsh an any volume. The soundstage, thanks to the new redesigned 50mm driver, is more "in front of you", The sound is much bigger, and is more full bodied then the cheaper options. Overall, it's a huge improvement, that is without a doubt worth it. To the new design, build, and sound, these have my vote!

Incredibly lightweight and comfortable, amazing soundstage, midrange and vocals are impressive. I’m going back to my favorite music I grew up on, mostly classic rock, indie and jazz and it’s a whole new listening experience. I have several headphones, Sennheiser HD6XX and Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro to name a few . I know these are more expensive but it’s going from a Chevy to a Lamborghini. Worth every penny . Pair them with a decent headphone amp ( I am using the FiiO K11-only $129) and sound is incredible.

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2023
Color: MapleVerified Purchase
Grado may be a family business however their products need a serious overhaul. Form and comfort isn’t the best. Its doable but in trying other headphones you will find that this is by no means in the top or close to many others.
So what if you can deal with them? How is the sound you ask. Clear. Yes as many say rock and roll for those who have been to many concerts sat up front and lost their hearing. Yes midrange and highs are accentuated and one persons comment that the 325 was better is true only because it carries more weight to offset the mids and highs. So I have compared these with Sennheiser HDXX (massdrop) and a few other brands. Some close but not as neutral as the HD6xx. It’s all personal preference so maybe to your ears these are incredible. Personally I got ear fatigue.

I’ve had the sr80’s for over ten years, and until I purchased these, they were my favorites and go to Headphone’s over 4 other pair and brands.
That’s changed with the RS2x ! The rich deep and crystal clear sound of the Maple Wood design and advanced drivers, copper purity and housing has made these Totally different in a better way.
Upgrade or give them a try if new to Grado.
You will not be disappointed.

I had to send these back as there were two left ear speakers attached to the headpiece and the wiring was different inside one than the other. This made me think these were not actually from Grado. I ordered a pair direct from Grado and they were perfect. If you think you are saving money getting them here you might want to reconsider.

Color: CocoboloVerified Purchase
Unglaublich guter Kopfhörer. Ich komme vom GH4, und wollte die neuen 50mm X-Version Membranen mal ausprobieren. Der Sound ist sehr differenziert, Mitten und Hoch sehr transparent. Bässe kommen sehr neutral, nicht zu stark, nicht zu schwach. Man hört bei jedem Musikstück, dass dies ein ganz besonderer, sehr hochwertiger Kopfhörer ist. Und.. er macht süchtig. Stimmen kommen voll und natürlich rüber, nicht zu dünn, Schlagzeuge und Bläser klingen unglaublich realistisch. Für alle Genres geeignet, aber besonders für klassische Musik ist dieser Kopfhörer ein Traum! Man hat das Gefühl im Konzertsaal zu sitzen. Platzierung / Ortung im Raum von Instrumenten ist nochmal eine Klasse besser als bei meinem älteren Grado GH4. Der Preis - wenn auch hoch - geht absolut in Ordnung. Dieser Kopfhörer liefert ab wie kein anderer. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

5.0 out of 5 stars A rich take on the Grado sound
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 14, 2022
Color: CocoboloVerified Purchase
For context, I’m writing this as someone fully bought into the ‘Grado sound’, and own the SR80i, SR80e, SR125x and PS500e. I’ve also had time to compare the RS1x to the RS2x.

So where do these sit, in the product lineup? I haven’t heard the top of the line GS range, but where these headphones excel is giving weight and body to the mids (amazing for snares) and having detailed but not bright treble. I find the soundstage to be the same as other Grados above the SR product range. Bass is detailed and present in the mix, but there isn’t much in the way of sub bass so for those looking for nice head vibrations, they’re not found here unless you EQ/pad roll.

For people deciding between these and the RS2x - the latter felt faster, with more emphasis on treble, a bit more v-shaped as they have more sub bass and bite in the top end. These on the other hand have a more refined treble and as mentioned rich mids that admittedly at first felt a touch congested, but over time my brain has adjusted and now appreciates the timbre.

If you already have some midrange Grados then in truth these won’t offer a massive difference; the same dish but with some different seasoning. For those who are looking for their first pair from the brand, you can find most of the house sound in other pairs without the high cost.

I’m really enjoying my pair, but to come full circle, that’s as someone bought into the Grado sound and where small differences are interesting enough to warrant owning.
