Seems like Grado partnered with Elijah wood & Zach Cowie (design part) to launch this new model.  8) :o

Was this video about Grado headphones or a product placement for Bushmills? I do not understand this collaboration. Are whiskey barrels really the best wood that can be used or is this just a marketing stunt to get the new vinyl generation interested in Grado?

I suspect it is mostly about trying to coattail their way into the Beats world by using Grado and Bushmills. I'm a Grado dealer and I received an email from John Chen of Grado announcing the collaboration. The more known names you combine, the better the chance of making some sale connection.

Funny thing is I don't think I can buy them from Grado. These seem to be from a marketing outfit, not my usual source chain.

You have to wait for the first upgrade, then they will no doubt sound AND taste better! 8)

Wine soaked wood?  Does it sound better or taste better.  What model Grado were they listening to?
