Thanks for your support guys. Being strongly medicated, it's nice to see that smart, normal people can still agree with me. I guess I still have a few good marbles left in me noggin!

. In objective reality (the one that drives the weather)) everything really is connected. The ecological saying that "everything is connected" is not just some dreamt up sound bite. Scientists are gathering more information that suggests "normal" people need to wise up and be quick about it. The climate is already heading towards a new state of equilibrium caused by human actions releasing massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. However, this new state maybe manageable,if the majority of humans become more rationale in their actions. That means people learning what it means to be alive. Religion and myth won’t help you to find a true meaning. Science, especially the “natural” sciences such as human biology, ecology, cosmology, evolution etc can help a human to know what they are and how they relate to the planet they live on.
Your noggin is fine
I apologise for the long post.It does cycle back,eventually, to Grado headphones & their unfounded claims on the audio quality improvements in the E series of headphones .
Science is very complicated, thus trying to get across information on a forum that deals in mainly subjective opinion is difficult. Of course if we were to relate our discussions to the evidence by using citations ,a general consensus of understanding could be formed amongst those whom think along logical paths.
However I wouldn’t be so much of an advocate of "normal people”. Normal being an average character/ acceptable behaviour within human society (some society’s social structures are built on irrational beliefs). Of course a generalisation of all individual people within a whole society is simplistic and always wrong. However you can generalise the overall actions of the human species, using their actions (what they actually do) as data (evidence) rather than their words.
Ecologically the general behaviour of humans is parasitic. However, evolutionary the evidence clearly shows that humans are mammals, evolved from primates. Thus are very social animals capable of caring for themselves and other physical objects that they perceive value in.
So you could argue that there are certain social (political, religious) systems that are making the collective actions of a majority (normal) of human’s parasitic in nature. A majority whom are ecologically and evolutionary ignorant on how they relate to the natural environment. Thus neglect is the all too dominant behaviour. Ecologically Parasitic , In the context of the gathered scientific evidence of how humans are degrading, polluting habitats, driving other animals to extinction ,causing severe climate change ( too fast for many species to adapt) and generally trying to maintain ecologically out of touch society’s that the evidence suggests simply are not sustainable . Expanding city's and expanding mono culture agricultural to feed the people in these cities (historically industrial cities having been designed predominantly by architects, business people & their associate politicians with very little ecological pre-planning).
Thus, “Normal” in the context of ecology is unhealthy.
And whilst this post may (get deleted due to being off the pro-capitalism topic) seem to have gone way of topic, and, no doubt, many will strongly object to anything which isn't the "normal" narrative, whilst also using aggressive and personal tactics in order to try and deflect the reader away from a evidence based rationale argument (climate change deniers
Thus reason not ignorance is how humans should form our decisions. (Back on thread) You may want to like the new Grado headphones, because we are all biased towards wanting things to be better in life (unless you belong to some perverse religious cult where you may want things to be better in the "next life"). But without any transparent information, “better” is just a subjective opinion. Thus Grado should not be making unfounded claims without showing any evidence for those claims.
Anyway, since there does not seem to be any data available on the audio improvements of the latest Grado E series headphones, I will just have to find the nearest stockist and compare them with my current Grado SR80 (modified) headphones. Maybe my subjective opinion will just want to hear that the new Grado’s sound better or maybe they are better. It seems manufacture’s think the “best guess” method is the most effective way to sell lots of new headphones (products). And they are obviously right about that.
Please dispose of your old products ethically, because it’s your waste.

Following post of Bio Rhythm's caliber is not an easy task for a French speaking longshoreman, so to avoid passing for an iliterate jackass, I'll keep my reply short.
In my opinion, if we want these threads to be both, educative, and peacefull, we have to show respect towards one another. I also think that it is essential that we all keep an open mind about our wonderful hobby.
I agree, and this is kind of you to say but...
. The measured evidence suggest that the Grado SR80e series do have less distortion when compared to the Grado SR80s series (I don't think they have tested the i series ). . Even if they sound the same at the shop!, because the data shows that they are more healthy for prolonged listening.less distortion!, which at certain levels my be difficult to detect simply by swapping one headphone with another. )
