The ATH-M30 is a circum-aural, closed back dynamic headphone that delivers exceptional clarity and the sonic accuracy required for mixing. The headphone features 40 mm drivers and is capable of handling high power outputs from headphone amplifiers. A high sensitivity rating means the headphones will function well in noisy environments.

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

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 »
