Listen to Benighted(their ICON album especially). They are my favorite Deathcore band and they are relatively unknown despite having an citically amazing discography and solid fan base.
Booo! My order got canceled because of Grado's international ship policy. I'm totally dead-set on these headphones. Does anyone know any good retailers that are in or ship to Canada?
If I go with a different route by using a company from the US shipping to Canada will I have to pay tax. I honestly never remember having to pay tax. Not to mention the possibility of a 5% duty on top of everything.
The 325is come with 6.3mm jack. There are convertors though, grado makes them witht a short cable between it to reduce strain on the jack of the device used..
Grado makes their authorized dealers agree to never ship internationally, so that they can mark up the price overseas. But Alessandro has no such restriction. The MS2 may be a better deal than the SR325 for those of us outside the USA.

There are no import duties for headphones in Canada. But you still have to pay regular HST on everything, plus another $10 or so for brokerage. This is collected during delivery. If the item isn't worth too much, CanadaPost may sometimes close one eye and not bother. But $300-$400 is probably too high for that.
If the retailer already collects the Canadian HST, then you should be safe from any extra fees on delivery.

Just to be sure, I can plug my Grados into my mp3 player out of the box correct?

You make Grado sound like such a evil company lol. Thanks for the recomendation but I have decided that I don't want the neutrality of the alessandros in contast to the SR325is. HST is going to be the death of me
BTW if anyone outside of the US is looking for a pair of Grados in the future, I reccomend http://www.turntablelab.com/. They don't have(or at least follow) the restriction Grado puts on oversea shipments.
Incorrect. You need a convertor. There are numerous but Grado makes these with a cable so the 3.5mm isnt strained too much.
Read my post again.
I have a grado extension cable and can vouch for the build quality, rock solid.
I found my DENON AH-D7000s at a Head-Fi meet. They were used at about $450.00. I know this looks like a Grado thread. All I'm saying is get a chance to listen to the AH-Ds and you may like them for metal. I'm into Morbid Angel,Vader,Judas Priest,Aborym,Belphegor,Naglfar,Pungent Stench,Draconian,Merrimak,W.A.S.P., and they play it all with joy! They really are all I use. They can be powered even by an I-Pod.
