That page has been up for many months. It was there well before even the Prestige series was updated as the new X series.

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a peek at Grado’s plans, but as far as timing, no one knows. The rest of the lineup may be updated to the X series tomorrow, or they still may be many months away. No one outside of Grado really knows.

My point is that this page may be accurate, but it’s not something new, so I wouldn’t view it as some indicator that the new releases are impending. They might be, or they might still be several months away. Who knows.

How Grado managed to fit a passive equalizer inside the SR125x is beyond me. It sounds that good.

Where can I find more info on this? - have just bought the SR125X, - and I can't seem to see any circuit behind the drivers...

It is inside the cable

It is inside the cable

Nano mahogany particles arranged in a triple helix mahogany tone-wood, clad with powder-coated or chrome plated aluminum. Substantial, influential, and unequaled sound and fury.

Oh so funny...

‘…inside the cable…‘
‘earth is a flat disc…‘
But the cables are actually a (small) part of the (sound) design.
The quality of the copper is one. The diameter another. The structure. The lacquering (material(s)), quality, diameter, structure). The insulation, shielding (if existing),… and so on.
But the main thing is, every Material absorbs some frequencies, transmits others and reflects the rest.
the more mass you have… ok, in reality it‘s a rolling off -curve, but for the masses used in headphones we can leave it like that for now. So, how to create a headphone?
At Grado, they have a basic start: ‘What can we do next?‘
(Detachable cables, copper clad aluminium voice coils, Pentaconn plugs, paper/carbon/wood fiber diaphragms,... ok, back to the story…)
Someone proposes a special material. The last time hemp.
They check if it‘s feasible. And than there is a very complicated, extremely scientific, top secret process starting. It is called:
Trial and error.
Build a sample, reduce the mass, change the shape, raise the mass… determine the damping.
Throw it in the garbage can and start from the beginning.
And listening until you don‘t like the songs anymore.
It is sound design, not equalization.

My understanding is that X just represents both non and i and e versions. I could be and hope I’m wrong. I too waiting for RS1X. I really hope Grado does the RS1X justice. For some, like myself, RS1 always represented the best, quintessential sound of Grado.
