For the rest of the world Grah-doh would be the proper way to pronounce it.

If it's Grey-dough, fine, but I hate when words get completely miss-pronounced by ignorance.

As an example, how would you pronounce Enrique? I'm gonna assume En-ree-kay, right? Without a second thought, that would be the first assumption. Which is utterly wrong.

Isn'r Grado a European name/word? If so, I bet a pretty penny that it's not Grey-dough.

No, we pronounce it exactly how it sounds. Excuse my American ignorance but from my standpoint you seem pretty ignorant as well. Don't bring this whole "American" thing into the subject just because you've been pronouncing it wrong the whole time.

I still <3 you MLE :).

@Mad Lust Envy

just accept that its pronounced "grey-doh"

MLE already did..no need to make a big deal about this anymore..the Op already got what he wanted from this thread...

I don't really care if its Gray-Do, because Grah-Do sounds better and more refined. :D

In our country, we pronounced "a" as in "ahhh" so I read it "Grahhh-dohh" SR60. However, the reseller in our place call it - "Gray-do". Therefore, I assumed that the reseller is speaking it in the American way. Anyway, I love my Grado SR60!

"Mahhhhry" Christmas everybody, I mean "Merry Christmas Everybody!
