Grado Earpads (Soft) Pair
Grado Lab's "Soft" [S-CUSH] earpads are widely praised by everyone who loves the Grado headphone sound but has had to cut their listening hours short because of itchy ears. These softer earpads make a pleasant difference in the feel of your Grado headphones due to the SLIGHTLY softer grade of foam meshing used. If you love your Grados but dislike the harder-texture 'bowl' earpads found stock on the Grado SR225i/SR325i/RS1i/RS2i models, you can easily replace them with this earpad and enjoy more pleasant Grado listening sessions!
Note: S-CUSH pads don't have the hole-in-the-center 'donut' design like the slightly larger "bowl" Grado Labs earpads -- which tend to smooth out a bit of sonic detail for some listeners. However, you can address this by cutting out the center on these yourself and -- shazaam! -- you get comfy earpads plus well-detailed audiophile listening pleasure. Aaah, the intensely intriguing world of 'D.I.Y.' headphone modifications... Curse You, Head-Fi.org!

Grado Lab's comfy "Soft" earpads are widely praised by everyone who loves the Grado headphone sound but has had to cut their listening hours short because of itchy ears. These softer earpads make a pleasant difference in the feel of your Grado headphones due to the just SLIGHTLY softer grade of foam meshing used. If you love your Grados but dislike the harder-texture 'bowl' earpads found stock on the Grado SR225/SR325/RS1/RS2 models, you easily replace them with this earpad variety and enjoy longer, more pleasant Grado listening sessions!
One thing to point about these earpads is that they don't have the hole-in-the-center 'donut' design like the larger "bowl" type Grado Labs earpads. This difference in construction might tend to attenuate a bit of sonic detail for some listeners. However, you can address this problem by cutting out the center yourself and -- shazaam! -- you get comfy earpads plus well-detailed audiophile listening pleasure. Aaah, the intensely intriguing world of 'D.I.Y.' headphone modifications... Curse You, Head-Fi.org!
Please, no HeadRoom returns/exchanges allowed on any Grado Labs earpads.
