I like my 500e both with the L for rock and G for classical or jazz.

But how do the 500's compete (with the G cushions) too the PS1K's?

Gentlemen, has anyone tried to shrink their pads, specifically bowls?

The wife has some woodies that have Gs on them but they've become a little loose around the driver. Would water work?

has anyone here ever dared to try.... L cushies on a gs1K? GASP, wish I had tried that out (even if just for schiits and giggles) before I gifted my rs2e's to my mom for her b-day

You could use water, then carefully squeze out the exess, and put them in the dryer, and use the low heat setting.

Well, my 500e are for sale.

 

[jobyjoby]

what would pair better with the gs1k-- ps500e, rs1, or ps1k? (wildcatsare1 doesn't get a vote

Good to know!

RS1 for sure!

That's an easy one, RS1, wich I prefer over the RS1i. I've never heard the Rs1e, and I have recentlly puchased my RS1 wich were n.o.s, so I could've have easily bought the RS1e, and yet, I didn't.
 
The reason I say the RS1, is because it has a much more intimate sound, than the GS1k, wich are great for large venue recordings, namely live performances. I use mine for my concerts on DVDs.

Keep in mind that I've never done it myself, but if I wanted to shrink my earpads, that's what I would try first.

good move IMO. Looking at that link that @kayandjohn posted for the NOS rs1 is oh so very tempting! So much so, that I was seriously considering it over the new limited edition Grado!

Great!
 
Well at least the PS500 doesn't sound like a defect pair with the Gs on.
 
I also use the PS500 (with Gs) for genres that requires bigger soundstage than what the RS1i can provide. So far I think the PS500 is better for Progressive Rock. Renews my love in Pink Floyd.

Trifecta Perfecta... SR325i, SR325is, SR325e
 
My third SR325, the SR325is, just arrived.  As advertised and as I hoped, it is one of the shiny chrome ones, rather than the satin metal finish.
 
So now with the three of them, I can perform my 3-way comparison of 325 headphones... as I search for the most acid, the most painful, the most treble Grado, the one that separates the men from the boys... the one that is the wasabi of headphones, that places the icepick into my eardrums.  It isn't the SR325e -- will it be the SR325i (gold) or the SR325is (shiny silver)???
 

Grado SR325i (gold, top), SR325is (shiny silver, middle), and SR325e (satin, bottom).
