I owned a pair of sr80 that I loved the sound of but I hated the cable so much that I ended up selling them. I missed them and at some pointed I ended up buying some knock offs from Ali express and I ended up loving them as much.

the cable is trash all the way to their RS flagship line, idk why they still havent made it detachable.

Eh I get it's part of the charm but I just couldn't live with it. I was truly surprised at how close the knockoffs seemed to sound, and the build quality was miles ahead.

Can you tell me how you found the knockoff on aliexpress? Is it the one that's always being advertised with the shiny metal grills?

Yes I think we're talking about the same one. I bought it as okcsc wtd3 but I've seen something like it with different names. I bought it on the original okcsc store for about $50.

This headfi review is pretty much spot on. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/okcsc-wtd-3.25958/

Go with low expectations and you'll love it if grado sound is what you enjoy.
