Read it too, wasn't sure if it would be useful. 😆

Definitely not useful for anyone here, but I thought it was interesting. The writer is obviously not an audiophile or anything. And it shows how Grado's cheaper options could reach new audiences in 2022 when most people only pay attention to Bluetooth options.

Still undecided which to go for to match up with the 500e's

Half thins , thin classic, standard classic

Which do you think?

I
Anyone know if there is a place to buy replacement rod tops (the little black plastic caps)? Looks like I lost one recently.

I had the same issue 3-5 years ago. Called Grado and John Grado answered the phone. I explained my issue, and he dropped in one of those into an envelope and he mailed it the same day. Nice guy, and made the process easy. Not sure if the phone call process is still as it was....

Yeah went for the standard classics in silver, I have the black shorts on the 325x so wanted a bit of a different look.
Not my pictures but it will be the same look, got a set of shipibo pads while I was at it, paying for postage so might as well.

I have a pair of 325x's and I love the sound. I hated the foam pads, however, and after many tries I ended up with the ZMF adaptors and Beyer Dynamic pads. These are supremely comfortable and sound fantastic to me! Now I just need to mod for removable cables. I have rudimentary soldering skills, but am hesitant to try and do it myself. Does anyone have a recommendation of a repair shop in the US who does this mod and is reliable?

Splendid, looks like Amazon has the 3mm. $6 for 80 (a lifetime supply!) :)
Several lifetimes I think. I changed the other one so they would match. The new ones were 1mm longer and slightly shinier.

I saw an assembly video on YouTube and it appears that Grado uses a bit of glue..not sure what it is. I didn't bother. They are on tight.

You've not seen this?


Must have had a late night on the town when they put the glue in my 325x's. At least twice if not three times as much to join the cups, still melts ok and pulls apart easy enough. You just have to spend a bit more time cleaning off the old glue.
