At the top of the Grado line, the RS1 escort you right into the middle of the musical presentation. Instead of being in the the room with the music, you're onstage with the band. Their dynamic presentation hits you hard and leaves you running to catch up. They deliver detailed highs and mids, along with tight bass. They are moderately comfortable, but for a more comfy fit you can bend the glove leather-covered headband. We should add that although the RS1 are the best headphones on the market for use directly out of a portable, for a more stunning musical ride you should use an amp. Less
SOUND CLARITY provides Full Rich Sound for people with normal hearing and Enhanced Sound Clarity for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.

Recommended it? Yes

Before purchasing these headphones a number of months ago, I had been using the Grado SR-125s, and I had been blown away by their sound each and every time I heard them since I bought them a little more than 6 months before that.

But let me take a step back and explain to you how and why... Read full review »

Huh? What'd You Say? My Sound Clarity Headphones Just Canceled Your Noise

byscmrak Jan 21, 2011
22 Helpfuls 23 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros great sound reproduction, blocks noxious noises
Cons bulky, not compact
Recommended it? Yes

A twelve-hour flight sardined into a "cattle-car class" seat some years ago convinced this traveler to never again suffer through the experience without noise-canceling headphones. And it won't: yours truly bought some Able Planet Sound Clarity Headphones (NC500SC) with "Linx Audio" noise-canceling... Read full review »
