Really? Well I never phoned them, I just ordered straight away, the first time was for a pair of flat pads (2 weeks shipping time via first class mail), and a month later I ordered the GS1000i, they were out of stock so they told me to wait for about 3 weeks, then another week shipping time via express mail.
Also I checked out Moon Audio and they also allow shipping to Australia.
I think Woo Audio might too...
After I placed my order for the GS1000i, I was very anxious, worried about getting a email from them saying they can't ship overseas and have to refund my money. But instead they told me the good news that my pair has been ordered from Grado. Now I'm a very happy owner the GS1000i. Will never ever sell them. 


Interesting. Perhaps I should have tried your tactic and just ordered a pair - or maybe the rules are different depending on which country the customer is from. All I know is there was no way I was going to pay £765 for a pair of RS1i - although I think they're great headphones they're just not worth that kind of money if you ask me.

 I had only heard a pair of Grado sr60s before yesterday... I heard the 125is. I know that's hardly TOTL or anything but seriously! I was shocked at how amazingly they brought my music to life! Really want to get a pair but, I don't have any money :frowning2:

Yeah my taste in music changed just because I was finding that most non synthesized music sounded amazing on these!

Got all my musician friends into grados (or was it the other way around?) Now they own the MS1's, the SR125's and the SR80's respectively. Still love my goldies though.

Im a metalhead also, and im considering to buy some grado's. Maybe iGrado for portability and looks. Are they any good?

Warning!!!
 
The SR60s are a gateway drug that will likely end with the RS1is.

I just got a pair of SR60i in the mail. this is my first low end grado. I was curious about the bottom of the ladder having used and loved an RS2, HF2, MS1i and PS1000. I also wanted a pair I could carry around and not worry about beating up.
 
OMG!! these SR60i are so great. yes, they are certainly not as good and not as refined as the other models but they get pretty darn close and still sound wonderfully fun. nice, tight bass, great high end detail and that famously pushy midrange that puts you in the front row of the show.
 
for under 100 bucks, I don’t know if I could recommend another headphone for people getting into the hobby.

Hey folks I have a few questions for those that would indulge me- I've been looking into 225's for a bit now, and someone recently started really suggesting them, so how would they play music like Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, U2, Radiohead, and rockier stuff in general + some electronic stuff like The Cure/NIN/RH. 
 
If not, anybody have a req for some cans in that budget?
 
Best,
