Frequently Asked Questions - RS2x Grado

Do I need an amplifier to use the Grado RS2x?

While the RS2x can be driven by portable devices, they benefit from a dedicated headphone amplifier for optimal performance. With 32 ohm impedance and 98 dB sensitivity, they work well with most audio sources.

Are the earpads replaceable?

Yes, the earpads are replaceable. Grado offers replacement pads (e.g., G pads) that can be easily swapped to maintain comfort and sound quality.

Is the cable detachable?

Yes, the RS2x features a detachable 4-pin mini-XLR cable. You can upgrade or replace the cable easily.

What is the recommended burn-in time?

Grado recommends a burn-in period of 50-100 hours at moderate volume to allow the drivers to settle and deliver their full sound.

How do I clean the wooden cups?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the mahogany cups. Avoid water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners to protect the wood finish.

What is the warranty period?

The Grado RS2x comes with a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Proof of purchase is required.

Can I use these headphones for gaming?

Yes, the open-back design provides a wide soundstage ideal for immersive gaming, but they lack a built-in microphone. Use a separate mic.

Where are the RS2x headphones made?

Grado headphones are hand-assembled in Brooklyn, New York, USA, using locally sourced materials.

What is the difference between RS2x and SR325x?

The RS2x uses a mahogany housing for a warmer sound, while the SR325x uses aluminum. Both are open-back with similar driver technology.

Do I need to register my headphones?

While not required, it is recommended to register your product on the Grado website for warranty support and updates.

Three Generations of Sound
