Given their construction, anyone claiming to have set of plastic-fantastic Grados (SR60, SR80) they have actually used since that period and that never needed a repair or replacement of significant portions of the phone would be straining credulity - they have similar issues as Apple cables where insufficient or completely lacking strain relief eventually causes the non-removable cable to break, requiring rewiring - and that is if the pins holding the headphone to headband don't break first. Higher models fix the latter problem, but not the former one.

In that way they are great comparison with AirPods Max as in practice they will end up in a landfill rather than being lovingly handed down...
