Plastic Gimbal Ring

Plastic Gimbal Ring

After many years of use, the plastic gimbel on my headphones broke. I thought there would be problems getting them fixed, but the helpful people at Grado informed me that I only needed a new gimbel, which was very inexpensive. They shipped it promptly, I had no problems installing it, and now my headphones are fixed!

Prestige Series, SR 80 e headphones, purchased six, eight years ago? A post on the "Plastic Gimbal Ring" had broken, so that the left ear-piece was only attached on one side. I was dismayed. Best sounding headphones I have ever owned. Went back to the store I bought them from to inquire about a remedy. No longer under warranty, I was on my own. They gave me a phone number for Grado Labs and suggested I give them a call. I went online, visiting the Grado Labs website and noticed a parts tab. Lo and behold, a new Plastic Gimbal Ring for $10. So I ordered two, didn't have to pay to ship my headphones to them to "repair" and then pay to have them shipped back. And now I have a spare.

Confused why these are made of plastic. Had a befuddling moment when my headphones fell off my head. Hopefully this one last longer than a few months
