They sound great but I do not think I will ever buy Grados again...my money is going to Sennheiser..better build quality...I am the biggest Grado fan. But I cannot accet these faults for the money they charge for their product.
I think your an exception.

There's always going to be an exception to the norm ... yes?

My own RS1's and GS1000's have been flawless in fit and finish.

And I think you'll find the vast majority of Grado owners will echo my statement ...

Yes ... the Grado build style is a bit ... er, medieval ...

Yes ... the Grado build style leaves a bit of room for architectural flaws (being medieval and all) ...

But no ...

There's not a tsunami's worth of testimony to back your own problem up ... so why not just get Grado Labs to own up and replace your bunk cans?

If they won't do so? Then I'll back you up in a witch hunt, friend. I'll back you up.
