If so... any suggestions on how to fix it?

I'm not talking about the adjustment antennae, I mean the hard connection to the headband itself.

If you mean the plastic block to the headband, I think it's normally glued in from the factory. Just a TINY drop of superglue (tiny!) on the tip of the headband metal, and shove it into the block should be more than enough to do the job.

The headband on my SR80 would pop out of the little plastic blocks if you looked at it hard. It was a pretty nice feature from Grado though, it made them much easier to store and transport as it took up less space in separate pieces.

wow, grado has added busted-headphone features! I think I'll got get a pair of GS1000 tomorrow!

That's exactly what I mean.

Thanks for the advice.

OMG,,the GS1000 has the stupid plastic L/R block thingies also.
Thats why i havent gotten an RS1 or GS1000 yet. How embarrassing to have it fall off your expensive headphones in front of a Bose person!!!

But really,,find a more fun sounding headphone...lol

Grado Lab is loosing it !

Yeah that happens to my SR-60s too.

I don't treat them very well though, so it's my own fault.

Some epoxy and a toothpick can do wonders ;D

Don't worry, it's not an uncomon fearture of Grado workmanship. Remember you bought a product that was proudly made in the USA.

I blame the Chinese.

 

[Chris_Himself]

ur sarcasm has been killing me all day fitz =)

also Grados ARE made in the USA, but if you look at the factory tour, theyre made by mexicans in crowded workspaces.

my SR80's had the earcup fall off the rods. they are screwed on and hot glued. but then again, compared to some HD 555's, i couldnt find happiness anywhere else.

Even then, they still great phones.

Had the same issue with MS PRO, but luckily with non of my Grado's.

Ya know; this is gettin' silly. All it takes is for someone to put "Grado" and "Quality" together in the same sentence and there ya go....out come the Grado Bashers repeating the same ol' stuff we read about in a different thread just last week.

...and another the week before.....

....and the week before that.
