Seriously though looks like the rubber casing underneath has ruptured and the wires have come through or they have just got a bit more of a twist and bulbed up, I'd cut the mesh sheath off, trim near to the Y split and near the jack plug and it should expand enough to slide off, you'll be surprised how much flexible the cable is with just the rubber casing on. Personally I'd cut the lot off and mod the cups.

I owned a lot of headphones. Great ones like HD800s, Stellias,... but those are the best I ever had.

They came back today from the cable mod. Done in Germany. Thank you Rotmanns Cables.

Also I added the Beautiful Audio ear pads. The sound out of this thing is phenomenal.

Have a nice day friends!
Thanks for the info about Grado cable mod in EU!!!

The test I got back on my faulty GS3000X 🧐 not great, certainly not the quoted 0.05db!

They’re going to test the new pair before sending out, the store I bought through (addictedtoaudio) have been amazing to help with both of the returns.

You've more patience than me, I'd be on the refund stage. I'm interested in what grado have to say on how their hand built premium headphone ( or headphones in your case ) have not delivered on the quality you expect on headphones costing not hundreds but thousands. Hopefully third time lucky 🤞

What you use to cut it, honesty I have no experience about this. The mesh sheath they use incredible stiff, I have some usb cable with mesh sheath but they very soft and flexible.

Anything sharp really, just hook a few strands up and cut them, I've just used the scissors as an example.

What pads? Look kind of like BA pads.
After four years of thinking about it, I finally ordered some genuine G-Cush pads and they will be here tomorrow. You are constantly leading me astray! :smile:

Luckily I can't afford to keep up with you headphone wise.
