I wondered if anyone here has any experience or info about Geshelli HP amps and DACs. They seem to be aiming for performance at a very reasonable price. A friend reached out to me asking about them and I found a few things online. His main phone is a Grado RS2x.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I own a Erish 1 and can't recommand them for Grados. This little thing is so strong that you - with Grados- never get out off the range where that cheap poti has still unbalances. The sound is very fast and clear but misses body and musicality. The highs of Grados get too much and sharp, the mids are bloodless. The only headphone of my collection I can hear with the Erish is Audeze XC. So if you looking for something to drive a dull, warm headphone with balanced connector, may be give him a dry. But don't expect a nice combination with Grados.

Yeah it says 4ourears is the Grado store. I read that only things sold by Amazon directly can be returned when already opened, and that third party sellers can deny returns on opened products?

Not if you're Prime and that third-party seller clearly listed the item as Prime, I don't think.

To be sure you can order them direct from 4ourears instead of Amazon.

Looks like a 15% restocking fee as well as 4% credit card fee, and return shipping.

Sounds like you should fill gas tank and enjoy the drive although parking probably won't be free either.

I recently purchased a pair of used PS500s, and at almost the same time a new pair of Audeze LCD-X which were much more expensive. The Audeze's sound really nice but its like having a pair of actual speakers strapped to my head, and the Grados just sound as good and are much more reasonable to wear. The Audeze's are going to be sold!

Hey guys! What is the difference for Rs1x and Rs2x?

 

[Plautus001]

RS2x = tastes great

RS1x = Less filling

 

[boromcom]

RS2x = tastes great

RS1x = Less filling

Thx! The price is different though.

You have both?

Have you ever heard the RS2e?

Ouch. That sucks.

But hey, it is still better than selling a headphone you don't like. You would probably lose more than 15% on a new headphone if you sell it even after a week and you need to deal with paypal fees.

Only the RS2x, GS1000, SR325x...

Most people that have sampled the the 1 and 2 seem to say.. 1 soundstage/imaging champ

...and 2's somewhere between 325 and RS1x... not as bright as RS1x

My first post on this topic was an attempt at humour some may have missed...

I got the humor.

I'll pass on the less filling option (I'm not on a diet). I'm thinking of selling my RS2e and buying the RS2x. Why? Why not?

I'm trying to determine if they are too similar to bother with the plan.

So I finally found some pads that will not go into the drawer.

I got them on aliexpress for $5.00. I figured that if they sucked I would give them to my dog as a chew toys (chew toys can cost way more than $5).

I bought them to try on my GS3000e but they did not fit (they were supposed to...meh to aliexpress). They did fit my RS2e...and they did not change the signature at all. I'm still listening to an RS2e with these pads on. They perhaps (if I'm not imagining things) bring down the highs half a notch and they may increase both the mid and sub bass half a notch. Oh yeah, and they are very comfortable. They are similar to the Dekoni (never used those), but a lot cheaper.

I'm surprised they work so well since they are very deep. When I took them out of the package and I saw them I almost called my dog to go play fetch with the pads.



I also bought a cheap headband set ($16) so I could scavange the metal rodblocks. I already had a set of aluminum gimbals mounted on my RS2e (with the plastic Grado rodblocks).

Years ago when I tried all the Prestige "e'"s, I only liked the SR225e and 60e

I hated the 325e and RS2e...

But I love the SR325x and RS2x

SR325x for Rock and intimacy

RS2x for everything else... More comfy too.

Another note on the SR325x's bass...

I remember listening to Alabama 6 "Woke Up this Morning" with Modius > Asgard 3 > SR325x and thinking, "Holy Schiit! these are Grados?".

They were hitting like the sub in my van...
