Just not for you. :^)
Something like this:
Our Third Generation.
The Grado family makes exquisite headphones by hand in our Brooklyn facility. Each iteration of our products represents a significant step forward in sonic reproduction. Our headphones have already been called "The finest electricity-to-sound transducer in the world". So how did we improve upon perfection?
Every single component, surface, and material used in The e Series has been upgraded and optimized for one purpose - outstanding dynamics and fidelity.
Grado's proprietary SpaceBlack Polycarbonate is engineered to absorb excess energy and reduce secondary impulses, for a clearer tone.
The e Series method of curing our select Mahogany tone-woods enhances their natural ability to reduce sound coloration and produce consistent results.
Rhodium, the most expensive precious metal on earth, is employed to prevent corrosion on connectors, and unwanted graininess in your music.
More than 60 years of Grado Labs expertise have led us to develop the most refined driver geometry in our history, which tracks music frequencies with unequaled precision.
Design refinements within the housing prevent stray resonance from interacting with the driver, thus protecting the purity of reproduction.
The magnetic field has been fine-tuned for symmetry throughout the full range of the voice coil.
Even the glue is new, optimized for greater strength, less mass, and better reliability.
The traditional Grado open-back form factor has not changed, because it delivers superior sonic quality and greater realism than closed-back.

I wonder how much of a difference the new technology makes? I guess it's too early for reviews?
The announcement is from yesterday. I don't think there are any reveiws, yet.
Grado says if you bought new Grado cans in the last 2-3 months, you probably have the "e" model even if the can/box doesn't say so. Red driver on right, blue on left, I believe, is the clue.

i found one ...
...it is an enticing overview!I would expect to hear only subtle improvements in the new e-series models, though (as with the 2nd generation "i" versions). The basic designs have not changed that much and, most likely, the well known "signature sound" of Grado's headphones will continue to be a major selling point.

They're selling it and they don't have it in stock but they're reviewing it.
Weak.
