Just got my replacements and I'm waiting for them to warm up to something approximating room temperature before using them.

it sounds like these are not the iems of choice to go outside with for the next few months!

Call me crazy, but I didn't really feel like putting ice-cold IEMs in my ears!
 
I listened to them for a couple of hours this afternoon. I am now, once again, a happy camper.

Mine has. That's where they tied the cable up in-box. Anyway, the cable is quite sturdy, imo nothing can happen with it

anyone know how the gr10 compares to the ck100?

 

[Sarah]

Well, I've had my GR10s for a week now, I've had about 15-20 hours of ear time with them and I can now say without a doubt that I am extremely happy with this purchase. They are really addictive, in that losing-sleep kind of way where you suddenly realize it's 1 in the morning and you've been listening for four hours straight without so much as standing up or getting a drink of water... (note that I'm posting this at 1:30AM...)
 
I'm currently on my third listen in a row of Mark Feldman & Sylvie Courvoisier's brilliant "Malphas," because it sounds so good I can't put it down... I especially love pianos on these. Toussaint's "The Bright Mississippi" sounds fantastic, for example. But really, every well-recorded instrument shines - guitars, strings, upright bass, drums... very transparent and realistic, and I think the fact that they completely disappear in your ears (comfort-wise) gives the transparency a little boost... it's very easy to believe there are no earphones there at all.
 
I think these have a much more Grado-y sound signature than the GR8s. Although they are definitely less colored than my MS-1s... they feel like they are aiming in the same general direction.

I should be getting mine early next week.  Looking forward to it. If the GR10 sounds more Grado like versus the GR8 - hmmm, can't wait.  I do wish the color was more understated like the GR8 versus the bright, lime green as I find the GR8 having a very classy color combination.

No worries. The GR10 is a beauty to behold. I also have the GR8 and they both look fantastic. Like the paint on a sport BMW. Brilliant !
 
And the sound? You are going to  love them !! They can be as graceful as a ballerina one minute and when the music calls for it, they can get as low down dirty as a twenty dollar street hooker.
 
Congratulations on your choice.

Okay who got the $299 GR10 from Headroom

? Noticed today that they were sold. Very tempting!

 

[Spyro]

If you do not require a lot of bass and amplification for listening really loud, the GR10 is perhaps the greatest single driver IEM ever made...easily competing with triple drivers.Puts the Etys to shame but of couse, costs much more.

 Superb analogies.

 Nobody.

They were excluded form the latest sale. A few lucky folks got them for less than retail earlier due to errors in promotions. Grado polices the pricing pretty diligently.
 

 

[Sarah]

There was a 25% off sale at Headroom? I thought he was referring to a B-stock item. Like the GR8s that are there right now. 
 

 

[goodvibes]

I'm sure they weren't selling for that. I got a couple of sale emails and Grado was always excluded. Here's an example from soundearphones.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the B-stock item. Google cache caught it here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cacheUUdv8Yw_KoJ:www.headphone.com/support/b-stock-outlet.php+GR10+b-stock+site:headphone.com&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
