It's always wet around here, i'm no expert but i think being near the Pennines increases rainfall. The best days in winter here are when it gets very cold as the rain tends to stop and the sun comes out. Having lost both my dogs last year, the wet weather is the main reason we don't have plans...

I've just got the same as you, the rs2e. My previous headphones were a non 'i' or 'e' sr125. I also have a Sennheiser hd598 which i use for gaming or the odd movie if it's late and i can't use my home cinema speakers

Third game in row against Burnley that Arsenal have scored a late winner. A shame but it's been a fantastic start to the season for Burnley. Glad you're enjoying your new headphones, so am i, well my new headphones that is.

Them as well

As you've learnt today i have a big head, i also have big feet and you know what that means...... Big socks!

As i said in the post just above yours i've put my 125's rod caps on. The rs2e rod caps were as you said about 14mm and my old ones were about 10/11mm. Doesn't sound like much difference but it does for my head. Every mm counts, dammit.

Just a little update on this, if anyone's interested. The black caps just twist off easy, almost too easily even. I then put the black caps off my 125's on and they fit great, maybe a nicer tighter fit. I'm calling it the 'big head mod'.

Yeah maybe not as comfy just yet, but not far off. I think when you've had Grados before it's not a shock to have a little bit of comfort issues initially. It's was more of a surprise when i first got my 125's when i'd previously been using the Sennheiser px-100's. Third album and something a...

Yeah it's removable. They both were removable on my old pair. Maybe i could switch them with the two on my old pair? To be honest they seem pretty great at full size anyway. Maybe i where them a bit low on my ears, or maybe because my old pads were were so flat they seemed lower on my ears...

I think my low on big head ears have built up some resistance to Grado induced pain. Because these are as comfy as my old pair and that's before i've done any stretching of the headband.

Yeah, that's it. edit: On my old pair i used to have about 3mm of metal showing above the black L/R, then the cap if you get what i mean? I've always thought i had a big head, or maybe my ears are low on my head, or both. Second album is 'Air'- Talkie Walkie. Great album, sounds great

There here:) First impressions: 1. These are the first wooded Grados i've seen in the flesh. They look great, don't they, i really like the tan headband as well. 2. The cable is thicker and the plug is a bit chunkier than before. 3. The third thing i've noticed is that, what i first thought...

Well, this is a nice surprise. I still use AOL mail for my emails and for the past 2 or 3 days i haven't been able to log in. But after logging in on my android dap i see i've received an email to say my headphones are going to be delivered today at between 15:16-16:16. It's 15:35 here now and...

Thanks, Joseph. That's how my 125's were

Thinking about it, my L-cush pads were so old and gotten so flat that my ears were touching the drivers which i didn't notice as much until i had my haircut, so it might of been that i noticed more. Here's a question for anyone to answer. Can you stretch out the metal in the headband too much...

'Grado ps1000e, the best sounding earmuffs out of Brooklyn' I know Grado don't tend to do much advertising but this could be good for the Canadian market.

The ps1000e is alot heavier so i can see how that might be a problem. Regarding your ears getting hot, i'm guessing you live somewhere warmer than bloody Burnley. If it's not pissing down here, and it usually is, I could use your ps1000e's as earmuffs.

Regarding comfort, does anyone find their Grados are more comfortable when they have long hair? When my hair was longer i'd always make sure I had some hair between my ears and the pads. A few weeks ago I had to have my hair cut for a funeral so it's going to be awhile before my hair is over...

Will do, doc. Although i'll wait awhile to give feedback as i want to have a good listen for a few weeks. I tend to be a bit of a bugger when it comes to getting new stuff, be it tv's, headphones etc, usually just takes me awhile to stop look for faults and just enjoy em.

Ginger Mourinho, apparently.

Lancashire, If you follow English premiership football at all you'll know a team called Burnley, I'm about a ten or fifteen minute drive from there.

I didn't no, but good idea, i might drop them an email and see if they could get me a quote. Update on the headphones, and this is second time in the past hour that i've not read something properly, it's next working day so i'll have to be patient till Monday.

Thanks, ruhenheiM. The shop i bought them from is on the Grado uk website as my nearest authorised dealer. They are mostly going to be used out of my pioneer dap, so hopefully they sound good out of that. Edit: I've just noticed you said 'US dealer', I thought you mean't they might not be...

Right chaps, headphones ordered. A site in the UK are having 10% off this weekend due to the black friday sales that we seem to have adopted over here. So a modest saving, but a saving none the less has brought the rs2e down to £440. But before i decided what to do i wanted to email my...

Yeah, the best way would be just try one of the lower models like the sr60e or sr80e. If you don't like them you probably won't like the others.
