Hello all, I was wondering how long it takes Grado Labs to repair a pair of headphones? I sent in my Grado RS-1 two weeks ago and I still haven't gotten them back so I'm getting kind of worried.

when i sent my sr80's, it took a few days to get there (i tracked it)

after they received it, it took them maybe a week and a half to fix it. plus another ~week to get them back to my doorstep. i got them back in less than 3 weeks from when i sent them

nice avi (;

Thanks for the response. It's coming up on 3 weeks now but I'll be a little more patient since Grado Labs is in New York and I'm in Hawaii.

You have a nice avatar too!

Have you contacted Grado? Do you know if they have your phones yet? If they have them, send an email asking about the time-lines. A total 3 week turn-around which includes shipping is actually quite quick for any company.

I had to have my RS1s recabled last year, sent them in about the beginning of August, got back to me in England last week of september. YMMV.

Wow, 3-4 months? That's pretty nuts, good thing I have the SR-225's to tide me over. I haven't bothered to contact Grado Labs yet because I wouldn't know what to say. "Hi, I have a pair of headphones that I sent in for repair, I have no RMA number and no tracking number, just my address, can you help me?" I know they were delivered on time because I put tracking on the package but I accidentally threw the receipt away so now I don't have it anymore.

How can it take 3 to 4 months to fix a Grado RS1.  Its been two weeks now for me.  Really hope it doesn't take more than a month.  
I could see it taking a week or two because of the wood and glue aspect of a grado rs1 but couple months is really long.

I'm dealing with a repair incident right now with Grado for my SR325i headphones.  I sent them in at the end of last week and in their e-mail with the mailing instructions, they indicated it would take them 2 weeks to perform the repairs and then the shipping would occur back to me after that.  So, all in all, it should be about 3 weeks total for me based on their estimates.  Then again, I'm only about 230 miles away from Brooklyn, NY.
