Is there really no difference in the looking of both Versions beside the Package? I don`t want to get the GS1000 by accident

I think the only visible difference is that the GS1000i have a thicker (but shorter) cable

finally an info. thx! does anyone know the length of one of them as a reference for me.

It's easier to tell from how thick the cable is:
 

1. The GS1000i has a cable the same thickness as the current SR225i / SR325is / RS2i / RS1i / PS500 / PS1000 models.
2. The GS1000 cable is the same thickness as on the current SR60i / SR80i models.

ah ok. i only have the old SR 80. but i think compared to them the cable of the SR80i is a little bit thicker, and the cable of th GS 1000i is a lot thicker right?

 

[sinnottj]

Yes, exactly right.
 
The cables going from the earcups to the Y splitter should be almost twice as thick on the GS1000i, compared with your SR80

Honestly, not tooooo much difference in sound quality imo. Cable durability is a plus since they're not detachable/replaceable. So either one you get you should be happy with.

also good to know. i wish i could compare both pairs but i wont be able to do that in the next future.
You say, that the cables are not detachable/replaceable on the GS 1000i. But isn`t that the same on the GS 1000?

No grado cables are detachable. Of course, like all headphones, they can be rewired at your own expense.
