I just can't seem to find this plug.

Where can I buy one? (Preferably in Sweden)

Am going to use one with a SR225i so I need a good one, if there's any difference.

Radioshack gold plated 6 bucks works good for me. (no idea if they are in sweden lol)

The Grado adapter is great. Definitely better than an el cheapo adapter. Also adds ~8 inches to the cord, which is a good thing, seeing as the 225i's cord is only about 5 feet long.

ATH also makes such thing (adapter only, no cable).
You may contact ATH Sweden.
The model# may be.. AT519CS.

Grado's adapter is permanently hooked to my iMac, it's the perfect length; it lays flat on the desktop facing me while plugged in, great little item.

+1 for the Grado adapter, assuming you can find it at a non-ridiculous price. The little extra cable is far more useful than you can imagine (think of the torque on the poor 1/8" plug on a non-cable one!), and it seems like a pretty solid little adapter. Then again, it's also $17 in the US, and I imagine that Grado's jacked the price waaay up overseas. That's why the FS forum would be best for that one.

Thanks for the input guys.

Unfortunately, I can't find anything you mentioned in Sweden... And the amazon-seller doesn't sell overseas. I was trying to get the actual SR225i's from there...

Checked the for sale forum... nothing there.
Why can't they ship such a simpe thing if you buy the damn thing for $250...
