For Sale: Grado RS-1 Headphones - Mint.

[Neil]

Boxed with documention leaflet and in as new / mint condition my pair of RS 1s. I'm 'downsizing' my headphone set-up as it is almost never used. These headphones must have less than 5 hours use so I cannot justify keeping them!

I never thought I'd see a pair of these going second hand. Very very good headphones.

I'm off to buy some scratch cards - you never know!!
