DIY C-Pads for Grado's

Items:

• Headphone pads (or a DIY version)
• 4" hole saw (or whatever or pad diameter is)
• 2" hole saw (I had to do lots of sanding)
• drill (whatever type... I used a hand drill)
• 1/4" (or bigger) drill bit (for venting)
• Wood (duh); 1/2 thickness)
• nails (if without a drill press)

Optional:

• sandpaper
• tape/glue

This took me ~$10, but I had all the tools. I made the pads. This could be <$5 if you only need wood.

1) GET YOUR WOOD!

Yeah... You need some wood for this project. This time, I used Poplar.

2)Start cutting!

I started off with the 4" hole saw. Then I bolted it down to another piece of wood so I could drill out the 2" hole.

3) Drill!

Drill some holes for some venting; if you want to.

4) Sand!

I had to sand it down quite a bit... the inner hole.

Done!

Sorry it's so short. Will lengthen soon! Don't have that much time. Any questions, I prefer PM, but you can post too.

More warmth. The mids feel a little distant the more I listen, but I like that type of sound signature. The details seem about the same.

Comfort is amazing.
