SR-80e
Bought these right before the X series came out. Aluminum gimbals and leather headband. Just replaced the jack with a Rean/Neutrik and had to sand the cable down to get it fit. Please ignore the ever so slightly crooked heat shrink which is gonna drive my crazy.
I love them and they’re pretty, but I’ve always had my eye on the aluminum 325x. I was ready to buy them but now they are out of stock everywhere and replaced with the new classic ones, which only come in black and have the new gimbal design which I’m not sure anyone asked for…
Fellas, tell me they’re gonna bring back the classic silvers at some point. Also if anyone has tips for how to keep the set screws from coming loose on the gimbals I’d appreciate it. I have some locktite but not sure that’s advised.
