Sorry too late.. my fingers already pulled the trigger

And they've arrived.
EDIT: Out of my 3 previously owned headphones--these are the 4th and...
Out of my 4 PS1000 headphones ...only my 2nd BNIB--and they are absolutely gorgeous.
The chrome finish is exceptional as is the cable which is without any kinks whatsoever. After some burn in and listening for a day or two--I'll be doing minor modification which only include adding the 1/8" O-rings and shaft collars for desired height adjustment--and then terminating them to 4-pin XLR since my chain is fully balanced.

EDIT: Had to strike through my first couple of words being I made it sound like I currently own 4 PS1000 headphones--which I do not--I currently only own these.

Flex / twist the cable along its length for a minute or two before each 'session'; be patient; the cable will soften.

I feel like I’m sitting down for knitting now
But yes, it seems to slowly get a bit better. Thank you for your encouraging words.

Really gorgeous PS1000s there, @joseph69 ! Congrats!

Just got my new NYCZAJ "Comfort Bundle" - padded headband with metal gimbals and rod-blocks. My PS500e was forever sliding out of position on the rods. It's infuriating that the Grado stock setup does not allow for tightening the rod-blocks. Anyway, the soft padding is a nice addition and so far they are very comfortable, and the rods are staying where I want them. (Earpads are from Beautiful Audio.) Bobbing my head freely to a rocking Soukous playlist with no fear of the gimbals slipping!

I *knew* this was an additional PS1000 for you, but I thought you might have regretted selling yours, so getting a replacement. I had no idea you were boarding four pairs!

Grado should revise those rodblocks.

Yup--this is my 4th PS1000. I definitely regretting selling them each and every time. Funny thing is--each of them sounded different and mostly regretted selling my 2nd pair which is why I bought the 3rd--but they didn't stack uo to my 2nd pair so I sold them. This pair is already stacking up to my 2nd pair without burn in--they're very balanced with beautiful mids. These are right up there with any TOTL headphone I've experienced in their own ways, just like all TOTL headphones.

Glad to hear these are already showing a little of their character. A journey.

I am planning to use the "special" headband (from the GS3000x listing that I bought) for the heavy Ps2000e.
