Grado Bushmills X - Grado's first closed-back headphone?
I believe the wood cups are of a more fragile construction than the typical Grado wood cup because of the "side vent" approach used to compensate for the solid wood back on the cup.

1) buy the 500e 2) put the money saved into a fund towards the Hemp 3) buy the Hemp when you can afford them 4) compare and contrast both models 5) keep your favourite and sell the other or 5a) keep both :)- gregorya
