You might want to try these covers to solve the scratchy problem:

I use them on my L pads (slightly bigger). They make a smaller size which might fit the pads that come with the Hemp.

You could also try the following pads:

These are more comfortable (no irritation) and they don't change the signature too much.
My favourite solution on the SR60 is Geekria Comfort pads with the Jarmor covers, as linked above. The pads fit perfectly, sound is improved vs. the various pads I've tried, and they are easily the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. To install, it's best to remove the pads and mount the covers on the pads, then mount the pads on the cups. There is no sagging or wrinkles, which I believe would be the case with Hemp pads as well.

I'm not a fan of Grado, or third-party, G pads on my SR60 or GH4. The sound is quite flawed due to excessive sibilance. EQ may help but I don't use EQ and don't want to, with my Grados or Beyerdynamic DT 1990. The GH4 is best as designed; Grado L pads, no Jarmor covers.

You gotta have a basic Grado, a 60, 80, or 125, for basic stuff like boring work calls and and listening to the radio between boring work calls.

You gotta have all of the limited editions that you can get your hands on because duh limited editions.

You gotta have at least one 225, 325, RS1, or RS2 variant to save wear and tear on all your limited editions.

At least one pairing of an old school model and it's current 'e' version so you can wax poetically about how they've evolved.

And at least one bigger model with native G cushions.

That's a good start anyway.
+1 that sounds as what @ruthieandjohn almost had completed😁

I've used the Geekria (and a few others). The Hemp becomes even bassier with them, and that may or may not be what you want. I know the foam on the stock is scratchy but it really is the best.

Someone stop me from getting the GH4. Got a person in my area selling one for $500.

Do you really want us to stop you?

Come one, you know you want it. You can always sell it later if you get a bad case of buyer's remorse. The price is a little on the high side though. I'm sure you can find one for around $450 if you wait and look around. But if the guy is in your area and you can meet in person you might save on paypal and shipping (and you can see if it is in good shape).

YOU'RE NOT HELPING.

On the real though, you think that's overpriced? I assumed the whole GH line was pricy.

The GH4 MSRP was only about $50 more than the RS2e.
