What customers say
The Grado RS22x headphones provide a musical and engaging sound signature, distinguished by superb midrange clarity and dynamic punch. Vocals and acoustic instruments sound intimate and lifelike, benefiting from the unique warmth imparted by the maple and hemp wood construction. This model represents a clear refinement over prior series. While the audio performance is exceptional, many users find the standard earpads compromise long term comfort, often requiring an immediate replacement for extended listening sessions. Ultimately, the RS22x is a specialized, high fidelity choice for listeners prioritizing dynamic performance and a superior midrange presentation.
