You've not seen this?
It's just ordinary super glue, just put a minimal amount on the inside of the hole at the end of the band it goes over a little nub on the inside of the lock.I need to know what kind of glue they have in that little white applicator bottle, because after I took the photo shown earlier in the thread....after replacing the end caps on the SR80e.. the left cup fell off in my hand... the same cup that had fallen off when my husband took it out of the box a few years ago.
I just found his post.. the cup fell to the ground that time! So this is what @HungryPanda had to say about Grados almost 6 years ago. He actually bought three more after that. Addicted. If you look at his list you will see.

Anyway, it stayed together until now. Here it is at the moment. I want to make sure to use the correct glue. They need to be secure but at the same time we are supposed to be able to get it apart to replace the headband.
You don't need to touch wires on the driver if don't want to, If you cut off the cable just as it pops out of the cup hole there's enough to solder onto a connector of your choice, so if you can solder a few wires to a connector that's all you need, opening the cups is probably the hardest part and that's easy as well. I'd say I spent most time getting rid of the old ( and way too much) glue more than anything else.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?
Fine looking set of woodsA vintage sibling to the Grado collection arrived! The Quicksilver Audio h/p/a is warming up……!
Thank you, and they don’t count in the 14-club limit in the bag….Fine looking set of woods
How do they compare to PS500e??Fine looking set of woods
What about something like this ?
Just make sure you put them on the correct way. This person put them on backwards. The 'L' and 'R' are supposed to be facing inward.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.

The ZMF adaptors are a little loose on my 325x's, and they have fallen off a couple of times, but they still work fine. I was just on the ZMF website and they are now selling a smaller Grado adaptor, but it didn't list any info about it. I ordered 1 last night to see.Did the ZMF adapter fit 325x OK? I was using adapters with Hemps and then tried to put them on 325x and noticed that adapters were loose. Hemps are slightly bigger than 325x.
