Just arrived! Very safely packed despite the lack of the pizza box. I will be eagerly awaiting it though.
I liked how they included an extension and mini-adapter like with the RS-1's.
It's a beauty. Enjoy the pics.

Happy about...

Not so happy about...

The cable straightened out a bit after I uncoiled everything, but it still would have been nice if there was more care taken in coiling the cable. Not the end of the world though.

Ouch! You'd think more care would go into packing $1000 headphones...

 

[tjkurita]

Wow. Honestly, that's a bad job by Grado... These HP are $1000!!!! I'm not saying it's a bad purchase. I am looking for a set of high end Grados myself. But that's not a good job on the cable.

Congrats man. And yes its a pain to see something like this on any phones.

Have you e-mail them about it, I would

Nice pics.

 

[libertine]

Cheers for the pics. For sure e-mail them about that as one would expect more care than that for $1000 cans.

 

[darkninja67]

Nice cans but I echo the other members comments.

It's really amazing how different the color of the wood looks under different lighting


Which picture would you consider the most accurate portrayal of the wood's color?

Congratulations on the new Grados! Were looking forward an in depth review.

That would cut down on the resolution
I wouldn't be able to use them as wallpapers then

so cheap foam is all they can spare for $1000,-?
don't get me wrong, the price should be in the cans, but Sennheisers/AKG's/Beyers come with a case for travel and for show. this is just .. well hope they are worth $1000,-

 

[Borat]

Congrats!

May I ask why you didn't opt for the balanced cable upgraded version to use with your HeadRoom Balanced Home?

Hey man, have you felt them? Nope? Didn't think so. I wouldn't comment on the feel of the foam until they've been on your head, because they're a good deal more comfortable than any other headphone that I've owned. That includes the DT880. As well, do any of us know the content of the foam? There are LOTS of kinds of foam. The type that covers the walls in recording studios is QUITE expensive.

Congrats on your new Grados. They look very nice indeed. Happy listening

Beautiful. Looks like everyone's getting their phones today!
