is it cheaper over there?

Just select the product at their website (pincha.com.tw 品嘉)and convert the Taiwan New Dollars currency to Ringgit Malaysia:

And you will know it's CHEAPER, and it's even cheaper than Singapore. rclxm9.gif

You know what I mean now!
That's why I can wait until May for my friend to go Taiwan.
And that shop - pincha is a reputable hifi shop in Taiwan, so no worries of buying fake items. rclxm9.gif

SR80 for RM  335... compared to music by design RM 380...
it's ok if ur sr80 don't have problem. but if it is damaged? have to RMA? u might have to send back to taiwan. the price different for SR80 is not that big though. some more paying extra RM 45 u can use it for more than a month, save hassle of waitting. and u can even test at music by design kau kau.. before u decide to buy or not.
price of RS2 big different or not with local i not so sure.. so no comment.

You are totally right, what about warranty? nod.gif

Just wanna do survey:

To all the Grado's user out there, do you have any problem with your Grado headphone and need to claim RMA? sweat.gif
If yes, then please post up here, I would like to know how many of you guys have this kind of problem.

What metalmania means is the headphones is faulty and produce NO sound, that's why it's also called ultrasound where the human can't hear. tongue.gif

My sr80 previously bought from Music by Design died on me in the left side just after burning in for half a day, went back to exchange for sr225 as there are no sr80 stock available. Luckily I did the burn in if not who knows when it would die on me. So please don't buy anything overseas if you don't want any hassle of returning it back. These are hidden cost.  cool2.gif

What a bad experience you have there.... sweat.gif

I have decided to buy myself a Grado SR325i (previously thinking of SR80) in Taiwan. rclxm9.gif
The price in Taiwan - RM800
The price in Singapore - RM1210

Price difference of RM400. rclxms.gif

Just imagine if you have any problem with the headphone, the postage for RMA will cost you how much? Give it a max of RM200. Alright!!!.... I still can safe myself RM200.

My SR60, left ear side - the connection to the headband is loose.. always come off when I am not using it. Temporary solution = wedge a piece of paper smile.gif

You mean the cable is loose? or the steel that connecting the headband is loose?
Please show us some photos, because I really want to know more about the quality of the brand Grado.

postage of RMA u can say is RM 200 MAX. but think about the time to wait? does the shop do oversea warrenty? after RMa do they post it back to you? or want ur friend to go over there to pick it up?

and u can't go ask, hard to call them to check the status of ur RMA. u won't even know they send it or not. as compare to local dealer u can ask them by going to their shop if they don't answer ur call.

that's why people prefer local warrenty. else everythings also get from SG loh cheaper mah as compared to malaysia.

like yuheng & walabies case, they are providing service to buy over SG. but they are responsible for the local warrenty. they will send ur unit back to SG for warrenty, and check the status and update to u. i guess, that's the service that makes the price different. of course ppl have to earn by providing service.
price can be cheap without the service, but when u have problem, then u might stuck in the middle of problem without even a way to slove it.

Hahaha....good point there, but I have all the time to wait......

The RM400 price difference make me cannot resists, like eating drugs, I just can't stop it. sweat.gif
With the extra RM400, I can even buy myself another unit of Grado SR80 (selling at RM340 in Taiwan) and with that I still can safe myself RM60, YAH!!!

Even half of my PC components I bought it from Taiwan like the power supply, CPU, RAM, display card, all bought from Taiwan. So I already immune to the RMA things. doh.gif

Think I just can say good luck to myself for the don't know how many times. icon_rolleyes.gif

ALRIGHT!!! I received my Grado SR325i this Wednesday after my friend return all the way from Taiwan.

This is my second day listening to the SR325i, and LOVING it and totally ADDICTED to it. wub.gif

Even my girlfriend who do know nothing about music said she enjoy listening to music now. That's the MAGIC of Grado I must say. thumbup.gif

I hate myself for not buying a Grado earlier, I should have buy it when I was studying in the college ..... doh.gif

Will try to upload some photos when I got time.

But the price of GS1000 is just TOO expensive for me. Well I think I will buy 1 after I have a proper HIFI sets, my dream is to have set of Marantz HIFI. wub.gif

Thank you for the recommendation btother teoh. I doubt that I will be letting go the MS1 below RM328 or below as you are fully aware of my next purchase. Anyway, local disty is out of stock and their Singapore counter part sharing the same situation too.

Hi walabies, do you have any photos of the holey pads?
I just wanna compare it to my Grado 325i stock pads.
I will consider to buy if they are more comfortable than the stock pads. cool.gif

I been to Singapore Jaben at 14 April. I was there to test the Grado SR325i, and at the mean while doing some own business.

Jaben is just a small shop if compare to the shops besides him, but the crowds was just unbelievable, finding a place to stand also a difficulty. smile.gif
