    Grado Fan Club!

    I'm enjoying my GW100, especially having replaced the ear pads with the G-cush. One problem I have is that when wired, the left and right channels are reversed. Is this a known issue or by design? Over Bluetooth everything's fine (with the left channel being the one with the controls), but...
