I bought another pair and noticed the 2012 version has better ear pads. More padding and firmer.

I use a Panasonic LX5 camera. It's not that fancy at $339. I use two lights. One with normal bulb and the other with Daylight bulb. It gives a good color in the videos when used together.

Thanks for the review.  

break-in is a must with these cans.  Sounds much better after 48 hours.   I have this coming this week.  Will do a comparison so stay tuned.  

I hope someone here with XB300 can help post some pictures of how the ear pads come off and what it looks like on the back.  I was thinking of installing those pads on my Grado RS1i.  Thought?

Yeah, I am disappointed in how tight the fit is.  I removed the cushions for storage.

This thread is a monster.  I am getting mine next week so I have high hopes. 

I ordered it from Harman this morning for $166 delivered.  A little more than Thomann. :-(  Thanks for letting me know about them.

Bump for new Breakout box video.  See first post.    

Had to get it from a seller in the UK because Grado won't sell it in the U.S.  I don't understand the reason.  Hope you like this unboxing video.  

Quote: This site says, "Availability of this item: shipment due to arrive on 09.03.2012"  That's a long time.    

eBay wants $199 for it.  That's more than retail.

It looks like we can't get this model in the U.S. outside of Harman's own online store.  Anyone here likes it or know where in the U.S. to get one?  I really love the vintage look of the mocha color.      

I spent some time recently listening to the headphones amp, while good it's no match for an external amp.  Anyone else feel this way?
