I have had my grados for like four months now and the posts the driver housing are attached to now move without much resistance in the plastic part of the headband. My SR60s did this quite often and as I used them as portables, having to adjust them each time was getting boring.
I think my SR325s, because of the weight of the enclosures suffer an increased effect. When I hang them up at night, by the next day the are often down to the stops.
I have to constantly re-adjust them every time I put them on. I have seen the pics of the HPs and thought: Damn! a stop screw!
I was going to post on drilling the plastic part where the metal posts go in and tapping the hole to fit a nylon set screw in there just to create enough friction that the metal posts don't move. It seemed drastic.
What I did was to remove the driver housings and put the correct number of small rubber o-rings on the posts. That way, when I put them on, all I have to do is push the drivers up to the stops and listen. Actually as I am posting this, perhaps a small amount of heat shrink might work on the metal post above the plastic part. That way the drivers don't slide all the way down.
Hope this helps some who have expirienced the Grado SR series droop.
