Hey guys!
I just received used grado sr80i's and I hear static when I plug them in. What can I do with that? Also the left cable is twisted.
Are you using a 1/8>1/4 adapter?
Did you try another headphone/output and hear the same thing?
As far as the left cable being twisted…just remove the driver/cup from the gimbal by spreading the gimbal gently apart and driver/cup will come out (the driver/cup has 2 holes in it and is held in by 2 pins on each side of the gimbals directly across from each other) untwist it and put it back into the gimbal. Enjoy your 80i's…great HP's.
