What pads do you recommend for the grade SR80x, so that it is not on ear and over ear, or that it does not interfere with long listening?

 

[CarinTorment]

Looks like yours came with the S pads. You could use the F, L and G pads according to the Grado website. My RS2x's came with F pads but I felt the bass was lacking so I put on the G pads from my 225x's and that helped things out. You can pad roll with the Grado's, and it does change the sound. Dive back into this thread and see what others have done with the SR 80 series. It seems that they've gotten a lot of love over the years. Enjoy.

Which pad do you recommend for long listening?

Where do I buy them? Amazon, Grado, Aliexpress? Can you send me the website.

@jonathan c has much more experience, but I try to wax them 1/quarter.

I never even knew they needed waxed? Is it important to do? If so, what was should I use?

You need to experiment, to me ears the RS2x sound awful with G pads, fine with L and G but I prefer a more comfortable fit so have bother others, such as Nyczaj and Beautiful Audio

Well, I think I'll have to try some pads, they might fit my Koss Porta Pro I think.

I agree. I wasted $20 on a pair of pads from eBay.

Can they be obtained on Amazon from the official Grado store?

Amazon only has crap copies. You have to buy direct from Grado.

I have ordered replacement pads from Crutchfield a couple of times with very quick turnaround.

Imitation pads last only months and can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. My original pads are going 2 years strong.

How often do you wax your cans? Just bought some RS1i's that definitely need some love.

... once a month ... with just a 'dab' ... Feed N Wax and old T-shirt ... air-dry five minutes ... buff ... [remove earpads first]
