v1 is silver band without hole, v2 is silver band with breather hole, v3 is copper band with breather hole.

Thanks very much for the clarification. Mine are v1 and, like you, I love the mids - they're keepers!

Rocking the gr10e with iPhone XR. Thinking of getting a headphone amp to improve even further just to see how much improvement (Vorzuge Pure II Pro). Enjoying them very much. I am alternating between these and a new set of RS1e.

In my country there is no official Grado reseller and they are way too expensive anyway, so im looking to buy other brand of ear tips, that would fit. Do you have any tips?

If you already find the stock tips comfortable, try sticking with stock, properly-sized tips. Grado uses Ortofon eartips. If you're in Canada, here's a place where you can buy them:

Take note that narrower bore eartips tend to boost bass, so if you are looking for that, too, Sony hybrid eartips are fine. For me comfort is king, so the stock tips are the best.

After owning those for several years I've revealed I can't listen to them as is: the sound became "sandy". It's unbearable. Does it mean that some electric components have degraded and it's the end?
