I've started looking at the 80x since I'd prefer to buy new and was thinking maybe the lighter weight and thinner cable of the 80x might make sense vs the 325x since it'll just be used with my phone and an inexpensive dongle.

I see in some of your previous posts you mentioned that the 80e is crunchier while the 80x is clearer and airier. Would you say the 80x is also much less crunchy in the mids than the 325x? If the 80x still retains a lot of the house sound in the mids and highs then it seems like it could be a good option for me to try.


Also just pulled the trigger on these out of FOMO but then decided it would probably be irresponsible as my first Grado. Unless...

Won't ship to Canada...

Hmm, it's strange, I could still order them, and I'm in Montreal. Rich also said on Facebook they are available for international shipping. You should contact Grado if it's not working for you.

I'm interested to hear your impressions whenever you get a chance!

Absolutely, I'll keep you posted on how they sound.

Just paid on Shopify... YOLO... Now to get held hostage by FedEx add on fees (they hate it when I remind them no duty on US made items).

Nice. I asked Grado to list it as $200. Not sure if it'll work.

Just grabbed the new PS500x limited edition! Looks like there are around 10 left on the Grado website!

I tried but received a note that shipment could not be made to my address

Strange, perhaps they're all sold out?

Probably. Oh well, I'm happy with PS500e ...

I was under the impression that there were only a VERY small number made.

I received the same message just now. I use this address all the time and get PLENTY of headphones here, lol -- so maybe they sold out or something is wrong with their site right now.

I think that PS500 special is sold out. Just to check, I emptied / refilled the cart with Hemp (which I already own) ..... The website prompted in normal fashion ..... so I emptied cart, logged out.

I just scored an OG PS 500 on eBay last week and it arrives tomorrow anyway

After sleeping this over I also just ordered one. Here's to my sincere hope I'll be able to tame that cable... otherwise I love the PS500 looks, and I don't yet have any X driver in my small collection. Now I should get the PS500e for sake of completeness... or maybe a PS2000e, which seems to be the only G-pad Grado with a decent bass for my purposes.
Guess I'll resort to sitting down with my GH4 on my head while kneading that PS500x cable for some days...

Edit: it now shows "Sold out". So I don't know if I actually got one.
When I opened the page for the first time yesterday, the title said something about "ships to Europe" and had a link to another page for US customers. Reloading it today it was marked as shipping worldwide and the US link was gone. Let's see how this works out.
