[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]This isn't a new discover for me but I would like to point it out to those who do not know that not all the comfie pads are the same. I have comfie pads that originally came with the grado sr325 purchased in 1995 and the comfie pads are by far better than the ones today. It is a thin comfie pad meaning when I hold it up to the light, it shines right through basically and is extremely soft.[/color][color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][/color]

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]The newer comfie pads are quite thick and quite frankly do not sound good. The old comfie pads are nowhere near as peaky and have a great balance in sound; great bass impact liquid mids and non peaky highs. They're basically better in every aspect in sound and comfort.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)]Rough guess but it seems like the modern comfie pads have some thickness around 1cm whereas the old ones have a thickness about half that or less meaning they sit closer to the ear without much blockage which makes a big difference in sound. It's the difference between a harsh sounding headphone and full lush sounding one.[/color]

That's a really good question. The last time I bought pads for my Grados, I got them from TTVJAudio.com. Maybe @Todd might be able to help you out?
