Hi, I use Grado 325e's which (unfortunately for me) use a 3.6mm jack plug so regularly have to use an adapter. Now the short brass gold plated ones tend to break on me or tend to sound rubbish. Just wondered if there are any higher quality ones out there or I may have to go down the route of fitting a 6.3mm to my Grados as a permanent solution.

The only good adapter I've tried is the Sennheiser one but that's the opposite of what you need, it's a 1/4" female to 3.5mm male. Aurum brand adapters have almost 5 stars from over 400 reviews on Amazon, it looks pretty good!

If this isn't for going into your pocket, Grado has their own pigtail adapter.

Looks like they are looking for a 6.3 to 3.5 mm connector and I can’t recommend one as I have received many with different headphones and have not had one that didn’t work. If you would rather have a wired one made I’m sure I could do that.

Thats very kind Buke but im going to replace the 3.5 with a Neutrik 6.3, its on its way as we speak, I can then use my Sennheiser adapter for phone listening.

No problem. I have the Sennheiser one also I think it’s pretty good too. Can’t go wrong with Neutrik quality connectors but I also like Eidolic very good also and very light and looks awesome also.

Ok. Surgery complete, 325's now have a Neutrik 6.3mm, even has a slight sound quality improvement due to no adapter. Very happy.
