Yes -- You can use anything that will fit around the grill, including your SR60 comfy pads. It will boost the bass perception some, and increase the directness/immediacy of the sound some (even more "in-your-face").

You can also try the Sennheiser HD414 yellow pads.

You should try this ~

That looks amazing. I was under the impression that the pads that come with the RS1i as standard are designed a way as to complement the RS1i sound? I just find them to uncomfy. If using the SR60 pads will the bass stay tight and controlled?

go get some ttvj flat pads and never look back. they're well worth the 30 bucks. just give yourself a few days to get used to it coming from the bowls, because at first they will sound a little muddy and with a smaller soundstage, but the increased bass, better comfort, and more full sound is well worth it imo. i love em with my rs1i.

Just wondering, have you tried washing the pads+bending the headband?

 

[gooner26]

Yep, tried everything. What really is annoying me is that my right ear touches the right handed driver but the left one doesn't seem to or it could be my imagination, anyhow it just does not feel comfortable, nothing like the comfort with my SR60's anyway. Just trying my SR60 pads now!

Try bending the headband forward so the position is something like this:

That aside, rigorous bending and pad washing also help. My HF2 was immensely uncomfortable with the bowl pad but it's much better now. I tried it with flat pad but came back to bowl in the end as it has a more balanced sound.

Of course you could use the SR60 (comfy) pads seeing as they fit. However if they sound anything like on the MS-1 you really don't want to.

 

[gooner26]

I've been listening to the RS1i's with SR60 pads and i have to say that I've had a headache ever since! Way to overpowering.

Beyer pads on grados? That's pretty interesting - nice work!
You gotta show us how to do that...

I had a similar experience with the SR325. The comfies move the driver closer to my ear than the bowls and just made the highs much more apparent. Just wasn't my cup of tea personally.

This is not your imagination at all, I have heard several people complain about this, and it happened to me as well with the RS2i. It always seems to be the right ear when it happens to people. Strange. It did get somewhat better with me for the RS2i with time.
