Is that brown leather headband above the zebrafied 325s on the front page a jmoney band? It looks nice, comfortable and I have to get one.

Anyone have a problem with color on sr325i???

It's not uncommon that the lettering will start to fade after a while...just handle it with care.

I try to treat fine with earphones but nevertheless , sign disappears. Any ideas for repair? I am angry for that...

Actually, I think it is rather uncommon -- at least in the above case, which appears to be far more severe than simple "fading" over time. I suspect that most of us would go nuts if we ever saw that on any of our prized headphones. Although your "handle with care" advice, of course, goes without saying, the horse appears to be out of the barn on this one. It almost looks as if it were left out in the backyard for a couple weeks. Obviously just my opinion based on one photo, which may or may not present the condition accurately.

Did they come in like that new?
If so, it's bad.

No... this is after 4 months of use

With normal useage, meaning that if you touch the letterings from time to time, they will fade. 
I wouldn't worried about that too much.

My 325i does the exact same thing. Only mine are 3 years old. I think you should complain about it directly to Grado. This is not good after only 4 months use and shows the bad product quality often seen from Grado.

I've had mine for about 3 years too. I meant the lettering on the L/R blocks fade commonly over time if touched often. The lettering on my outer cups are still in tact except for one side which was due to my fault. For 4 months, that does not appear to be normal if used exclusively in the household.

Goldies that are 4 months old?

Semi, do you have a black jmoney headband on your magnums? Looking to get one. If that pair on the first page is what they look like then brown is what I want. But I will most likely go with black.

 

[SemiAudiophile]

I do have a black one. The one in the picture is actually a dark brown color which you can't really tell unless in direct light. I also had a camel one that I used for the RS1i that I've now sold. I think the black one matches the goldie Magnum the best though. Dark brown might match better if you have the silver SR325is'.
