iGrado? iAmSickofTheLetter"I"

iAudio was the first to use the "i" in the DAP market, so I applaud their originality.

The bad part about behind-the0neck is laying down on your head.

How long are those wires? They look quite long in those pics. Not a good decision if they're marketing towards the lower-end.

50 bucks indeed, headroom already has them available for sale with an availability listed at one week. I've heard the SR60's and was definitely pleased with the sound for sub-100 dollar cans. If their marketing to mp3 players they can't really use drivers from anything much higher-end than their 60's as the other usually require, or deserve, an amp for optimal sound.

I would love to get one of these... but the one thing that bugs me is... the letter "i" omg... that is SOOOOO over rated.. they shoulda called em Grado-S
"S" for street but God forbid another "i" product..

Why couldn't they just call them the Grado SR-40s? I have the SR-80s and I love them. Glad to see them come out with something more affordable. I wonder if we'll see them in store.

I didn't know that the iAudio was the first to use the i prefix. Cool.

They weren't. There were most certainly mp3 players available before iAudio that started with the letter 'I'. For just one example see the I-Jam. Cowon only started making iAudio DAPs in late 2000.

BTW, Headroom has these listed as In Stock now, instead of available in one week.
