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 »

Maxell's NC-II is the budget winner in Noise Canceling headphones.

byopenroad Mar 29, 2005

Pros Cheap, long battery life, decent audio quality, cancels a decent amount of noise.
Cons Artificial bass level, minor complaints with N.C. quality.
Recommended it? Yes

---- Why do I need 'Noise Canceling'? -----

During my last cross-country plane flight I was seated next to a young man wearing what appeared to be large silver earmuffs. At second glance I realized they were actually headphones, as if the large Bose logo on the side wasn't a hint. After... Read full review »

Great headphones, but not comparable to high end models

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Maxell's unit costs less and still are effective for those on a lower budget.
Cons Lower quality noise reduction may not be as attractive to those seeking high end...
Recommended it? Yes

ears. They look and feel solid too. These headphones easily fold for storage. Using a pouch supplied with the headset helps making cord and N.C. on/off slider safer when carrying it around. Noise canceling is good for low pitch noise. I haven't flown in them, but I've worn them in noisy places and... Read full review »
