Mine on the 325e slipped off too. Grado sent me replacements and I used 2 part epoxy. That was 3 years ago.

I had to actually pull mine off. There is enough friction that I didn't bother putting anything on mine.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is a "frequency graph" online somewhere showing the difference between the RS1e and the Alessandro MS Pro(e). I learned that the latter is tuned a bit more neutral but curious how this reflects in a comparative graph :wink:. Thanks.

Are those pure "closed back"? If so, it would be interesting to hear how they sound vs. the traditional Grado sound. However, I'm not about to drop $450~$700 to find out :D

I don't think so. I think it has vents. I'm not the owner though, so don't take my word for it. They belong to a friend of mine who really hasn't used them much.

No need to put any adhesive on for the caps.

No, they're not closed back, they are vented around the circumference of the cups.

Thanks for the quick comparison chart! The overall score and "Transparency" score look very appealling, however the three categories you have marked as a "1" for me are some of my most important features when listening to headphones. Oh well, didn't have a spot in the budget for a new set of cans. My wife might not be happy if another pair of wooden headphones show up ~1.5 months before our new baby :D

I recently rebuilt a pair for a good customer.They're heavily vented. That and the foam pads mean almost zero isolation.

If anyone is looking for a flash back, there is a set of GS1000i's for sale on Canuck Audio Mart. The price is $350.00 in Canuck bucks.
