Hi. Anybody with an history of needing Grado warranty services? How did it worked out? Any problems?

I'm asking this because I was bought a SR80 set from a friend that was in Portland, Oregon, US, from "Echo Audio". They apparently are Grado authorized dealers and I have the headphones and the receipt and what I got from Grado was a

"Sorry, there would be no warranty."

when surveying for the warranty as I always do for this kind of buys.

Thanks.

Isn't the problem that you are outside US ... ?

 

[japc]

Dunno. Could it be?

The reply I got from Grado is the reply I posted.

If so in the original post:

s/Anybody/Any non-US body/

Was it mentioned that they were originally purchased in the US?

Yes, of course. I mentioned when and where they where purchased and the circunstances of the purchase.

Warranty work is something that Grado is famous for.

I wonder if it has something to do with a transfer of warranty or something? Were the cans purchased from a friend that had bought them for himself, or bought them for you?

If they were bought by a friend who was in the States and simply "given" as a gift, I can't imagine that there should be a problem.

there's no warranty for grado in my country, but alessandro give 1 year warranty
that's odd

What's the problems with the cans?

 

[japc]

None. They're perfect. I just like to get the warranties right with everything I buy (yes, I do this for everything, I like to plan ahead).

It's a personality defect, really

Plan ahead? Headphones usually last two to ten times their warranty period. Even longer.

Don't worry about it. One year goes by in a flash and by then you will probably have upgraded.

You mean it like that, right?

Probably has something to do with the fact that you did not purchase the cans from an authorized dealer in your country/area.

 

[F107plus5]

Yup; they can last for quite a while. My Grandkids aged 6-12 had my MS-1 for about four months all by themselves and they still work great! I've had them over a year and a half now. After about six months I got some MS2i which I've had for nearly a year. Yes indeed: tough little buggers for sure!

I worry, that's why it is called a "defect"
