Absolutely dreadful build quality and mediocre sound quality which imo peaks way early in the lineup (SR-80 are imo the best).

Please outline the history.Grado has a reputation as a great headphone company that makes a fantastic product that doesn't make sense to people who don't understand the history of the headphone market.
Suffice it to say, count your blessings and God Bless Grado.
Mine arrived in two parts... I had to glue them back together.I'm not sure if I should be proud that these are made in the USA.
This is the right answer.- Objectively woeful but for the right style of music they just work.
- Should anyone pay top dollar thinking they are getting the best head-fi can offer? Hell no. Should someone give them a try with an open mind. Yes.
Which headphone are you referring to?The most Harman-accurate headphone costs ~$45k
Uneven frequency response and high distortion.I've owned a couple pairs and don't understand the hate. I've also owned Sennheiser, AKG, and Stax. The Grado are comfortable and even the less expensive models sound okay to me.
Please outline the history.
Sennheiser HE-1. HERE are Crinacle's measurements. As it turns out, it's actually closer to $60k.Which headphone are you referring to?

AKG K371 and Shure SRH440 are budget contenders for passive target adherence but have a few issues of their own.
