Well not exactly. Fixing them for a sweet young thing cos they fell
apart after 2 weeks, and where she purchased them from doesn't do
warranty on international sales.

I like the idea. Wonder if there is an aftermarket ear retrofit available
for the Grados.

What a stupid gimmick, I'd rather have the speakers on the desk than
extra weight on my head for the very unlikely times I actually want
simultaneous headphones and speakers anyway. Especially when running
wireless and thus using more battery power to run both.

Of course it's stupid gimmick. But if you read the description, the
"ears" not for YOU to listen to, but for those times you want to "share
with friends" and "make a statement". I suspect this product was not
designed or marketed with you in mind.

Well duh, and why do you think desk speakers cannot do that adequately?
I'd rather make a statement about the music than how stupid I look and
how much more money than sense I would have to buy crap like that.

Of course it isn't, as I indicated I'm not into pointless gimmicks.
