2 pcs Replacement Earpads Ear Pads Cushion Foam for Grado GS1000i, GS1000e, GS2000e, PS1000, PS1000e Headphone

Fantastic value! An essential upgrade for comfort. Fits both my ancient SR60 and SR80, which are unwearable after a few minutes due to the thin OEM foam. But also my modern SR325x too. What's not to love? Sounds great. Not discerning enough to say it's better or not, just more comfortable was my main criterion. Certainly not detrimental in any way. And absolutely TRIVIAL to swap out -- even go back to the old ones if you like the pain! Was going to go with Dekoni, but no need. Did I mention great value?! One side was a bit crumpled in the soft baggie (no high-end packaging at this price, good, no waste), but it comforms just fine to my head, so will straighten out after a few wears I'm sure.

It does the job in terms of sound, but you'll still want to use EQ and it doesn't fix the terrible crater around 4khz, which is the most sensitive sound we can hear. You'll have to cut a part of it but it somewhat fits.I want you to understand that this thing is absolutely MASSIVE tho. They're much larger than Sennheiser pads and you'll look extremely goofy. On the bright side, they're pretty comfy.

Received today as a replacement and/or break from my Grado G-Cush ear pads on my Grado Gh1's. But upon application found a too congested sound with them on the Gh1's. But, trying them on my 25 year old (!) Grado SR-125's I found the combination to sound really good while being leaps and bounds more comfortable compared to the L-cush pads I had on them previously. So, a keeper for the still more than viable well aged Grado SR-125's of mine and happy I popped for them...

The Koss KPH30i have gotten loads of great reviews- an inexpensive open air headphone that is as good as or almost as good as many headphones costing much more. I really like the headphones, found the sound excellent, but they are a bit uncomfortable as the ear pads sit on top of your ears and the pressure gets uncomfortable after awhile. I stumbled upon a review of someone who paid a lot for Grado replacement foam and retrofitted these onto these headphones which involved removing the stock foam including disassembling each side of the stock headphones. No thanks. Then I discovered someone recommending this pad as it just goes over the existing pads. There's a circular notch in these that the stock ear pads slip into and once in they stay put. Yes they look big BUT the sound quality improvement in AMAZING. It's the best $9 I ever spent. Not only are they comfortable, but the sound is so much better. The ear pads now sit on your head, not on your ears. Better bass, Better treble. the sound is more enveloping like a closed ear headphone but one that doesn't completely seal your ear. The Koss KPH30i are just sensational with these added.

Both of my earpads are fine enough quality however they are not the same profile and are clearly a different blend of foam - they fit and function, but they do not compliment a $300 premium set of headphones very well...

Got another sound effect

Bought these to do a little hack and compare with the Koss KPH30i; so, I suppose I didn't put them to recommended use. However, I can tell ya' they work great for the hack! And for those thinking about using them for whatever purpose - lightweight and comfortable, even over glasses; I wear them for several hours at a time. If I had to find something to complain about, maybe after a few hours they are a tad warm (they are for over-the-ears afterall); I think that's nitpicky, but I spose you might notice it.

These are not exact replicas of grad is big cushions but at the price are great for isi g with grados less expensive models. I use them with the sr-80e. They fit too loosely however on the earcup and would come off but a ring of double sided tape has solved that easily. They are a bit “stiff” at first. Hand Wash them in woolight once or twice and they are more comfortable. The sound signature of the 80s change a bit of course, less bass but better mid range and less shrill upper range because the driver is not covered by foam as with the stock pads and the driver is a bit farther away from one’s ear, which also improves the soundstage quite a bit. VERY airy sound, almost electrostatic like. A bit of eq on the bass takes care of the low end if that’s an issue for you. And of course they transform the lower end grados from on ear to around ear, which means I can wear them for more than 10 minutes without the physical pain from the headphones clamping my ears.
