Originally posted by erikzen I don´t think they were as much a dirty little secret as much as a business failure. The idea was to take a similar design as the SR-60s and produce headphones cheaply in China, from what I understand. They thought they could capture some of the lower end ´Sony-type´market. Apparently, it was not a success. I guess people familiar with the Grado name are not interested in budget stuff. However, I´ve got to tell you these headphones are pretty sweet. I bought them used for $35 and they easily outperform my other headphones in the <$100 range, including the D66 and KSC-35. |
