Travel case. I wish Grado would sell one custom made for Grados.

I've been using G cushions on my GH 1 for a couple of weeks and started wondering last night whether I really could hear a difference or not from the stock cushions (and whether there is a slight congestion on some tracks with the G cushions because the bass is more present). Answer: absolutely there is a difference. I'm using a Cayin N6 as source and with Gs the sound opens up and warms slightly (pleasantly). The vocals are slightly more forward in the mix and the soundstage left-right is more 'joined up'. With the stock cushions there might possibly be a little more detail in the treble and less bass (which I prefer anyway), but vocals sound a little more isolated and slightly recessed into the mix. Either way it's a beautiful sound and in a perfect world I'd like the G cushions effect on vocals mixed with the stock's perhaps clearer treble, but I'm going to stop messing about now and just enjoy!

Here's a simple solution to give you the best of both worlds...

Hmmm, I think you might just be messing with me

Don't laugh guys. I admit that, at first, this might seem ridiculous, but if we  switch our recievers. integrated amps, or pre amps, from stereo, to mono, we can actually hear the differences among the various earpads.

I find that with the (G) cushions the bass is less/more controlled and the vocals are not as up-front/sound-stage depth/L-R is beautiful and the treble is a bit more present/clearer…just about a perfect amount. I found with the (L) cushions there was definitely more bass/less treble and the vocals were more forward. In any case, they sound fantastic with either, I just prefer the (G) cushions for what I hear as I stated above.

I agree Joseph. but I still don't understand how the GH-1 manages to let us take advantage of everything that the G-cush can provide, buyt yet, manages to avoid it's shortcomings.

Listening to Marty Balin "Hearts" with the WA6/GH1...WOW!
I'll be quite honest, I'm not sure if its my ears/tastes are changing, but I was previously listening to the WA6/RS1i
(which I adore as everyone knows and still do) but I'm having mixed feeling lately after first listening to RS1i for a couple of hours and then the GH1for a couple of hours afterwards, which I've been doing for the past 3-4 nights.

I'm listening to the GH-1 tonight after not hearing it in over a week. VERY NICE HEADPHONE! Just lovely. I prefer the stock L-cush on these to the G-cush. Very warm, musical sound in my opinion...
 
Just a thought, these cans remind me of my Tralucent 1+2 iems. Very similar sound, imo...
