I was wondering if the Sr-40's has the same drivers as the sr60's. i was also wondering how much a brand new Sr-40 would be worth. Thx

 

[Fungee]

I don't htink you could get 'brand new' sr-40s

 

[MD1032]

New SR-40's would probably be worth a bit more these days since they're quite rare. They do indeed have SR-60 drivers!

 

[Twigs]

thank you very much.

supposedly Grado is working on a new version of the SR-40 that is a little more stylish. supposedly. even though i use canalphones portably, i would buy a pair if they came out.

I was planning on getting a pair of Sr40's off of a friend of mine who recieved them as a present quite along time ago and he's never used them and its still in its original packaging. I'm paying about 40$ cdn is that a good deal?

 

[dallasstar]

Awesome deal.

A guy with a store here in California in the United States has a brand new pair for $40 U.S.

also, the sr40 are made in china...i don't think that makes a difference maybe except for quality but it's not like the quality of the sr60 is that great either.

Their body/housing is made in China and they're assembled there too, but the drivers are still made in the US at Grado Labs. They're essentially SR60 drivers in a stock-crapphone housing. (There's a pic on the SR40 product page at Grado's website (though they're removed the link to it)). If you come across one (especially a New-In-Box one) it might be worth buying just because it is an extremely rare headphone.

I hope Grado comes out with the new version soon or I might have to go look for an old one again, though it's getting harder and harder lately.

May I enquire as to the reason for the SR40's rareness. Did Grado Labs cancel them quitly after their inception or what all?

i actually just saw the sr-40s on ebay and was wondering what the deal was with them. they were pretty cheap

 

[PTheD]

I have been interested in purchasing them for about a month now. I don't need them and am sure that they will suffer a bit in the build translation from New York Design to China Build to New York Driver to End User Me. I do want them to complete a collection of Grados though. I have not seen any review of them, except on the Grado link posted earlyer in this thread. I don't even like the look ov them all that much. But I want them because they are Grados. Off I go to Ebay to see if they are there...

The link above showed What HI-FI? rated it 4/5 stars, so I guess they sound above average (in it's price range), but not excellent.
