I think x just represents nothing, i or e. The morsels with e are the ones that did not have predecessors
Anyway…I wrote to the site which has the 325x if it’s a typo or really something new…

The button on the headphone (pictured in your link) has an X. That would be one hell of a typo.

That would be a typo at the stamping machine :)

Normally I’d assume that “x” is just a placeholder meant as a sort of catch-all when describing i/e/is/no suffix, but that photo with a 325x is curious. Is it just a photoshop thrown together or did they get early access to an actual product that is unannounced?

This 325 X version does have a very unusual headband . Open plan.

The 'X' that is clearly visible on the 325's shown in that link implies to me that there's either a silent or yet unannounced upgrade to most of the Grado line-up. It has, after all, been several years since the upgrade to the 'e' series across the line-up.

What does that mean?

What I do see is that it has white stitching, which is something that Grado has been doing recently.

Guys, let's talk about the biggest news here: "new cables with high-purity copper and a light bracket construction with sewn cladding are used."

If you look cloesly at the image of the cable, you can see that it's fabric-sheathed instead of the usual plastic. This is nothing short of a revelation...in Grado terms, anyhow.

I hope it is better than what they offered with the HF3.

That cable was too stiff and unwieldy.
