Grado Ear Pad Mods

Does anyone know of any good ways to mod sr80i ear pads? I've seen people wrap tape around them, but I don't think that'd do anything for comfort. 

Or would it be a better idea just to buy replacement pads? 

I just want them to be a little more comfortable, while not looking ridiculous. 

Thanks!

The best mod I found for the Grados is to buy different headphones.

The Senn HD414 pads fit. You can cut holes in the centre of the foam if you feel the need.

 

Do a search on eBay for "Sennheiser Grado ear pads" and they'll come up. (note the space between ear and pads)

 

They're much more comfortable and don't keep falling off.

The sock mod is described here http://gilmore2.chem.northwestern.edu/projects/showfile.php?file=grado_prj.htm as well.

Why would you do that? There is no mod to make them comfortable, without changing the sound a lot. So either live with the pain or buy headphones that have a better design for actually wearing.

I use the sock method.

I think I'll give the sock method a try my with sr80i's, and when I get a pair of MS-2i's, I might give the Radio Shack mod a try, just for kicks.

This is, of course, your opinion, and not absolute fact.  Mine are very comfortable.
