What pads? Look kind of like BA.
After four years of thinking about it, I finally ordered some genuine G-Cush pads and they will be here tomorrow. You constantly leading me astray!
Luckily I can't afford to keep up with you headphone wise.
More comfortable, less scratchy, than G-cushions. No problem with ‘ear heat’. A ‘middle of alphabet’ row perspective rather than front row perspective. A great complement, in my view, to the F-cushions.
Big Grado fan here. I currently own 7 sets - 8th one on the way lol. And that’s why I’m posting here. I purchased a set of Grado RS-2 (button version) with a busted driver. I’m a pretty handy DIY’er. I’ve done the removable cable mod on an OG SR325 (it was in my earlier days… and the job was far from great, but they still work and sound good to my ears! Lol). I have a few questions:
* Has anyone done a removable cable mod on the vintage RS-2 button?
* Is there room for a mini XLR or should I stick with something smaller like 2.5?
* any good recs on where to get replacement drivers? Would like to have it as close to the Grado house sound as possible. I found these: https://earphonediylabs.com/shop/he...-ms-pro-compatible-driver-units-1-pair-2-pcs/ - but I’m wondering if there are other options that are better.
Another option…. I’m highly considering is just paying the money to get then repaired by Grado. I was quoted $150 to repair it + the new version of their cable. Also - a part of me doesn’t want to botch this job and ruin a piece of audiophile history man…. I love doing the removable cable mod on Grados….
Any help would be great! Also - totally down to geek on Grados with y’all! I’ve been really digging my Grados with ZMF pads lately - so comfy, tames the highs a bit and widens the soundstage as well.
LOL, happened to me too, a noob/forum troll said grados looked outdated, old and therefore would sound bad, that was enough to compell me to purchase a 325is'...
Just picked up the GW100 V2 on a whim. Had a bit of trouble finding them in stock anywhere, actually, but I seem to have gotten the last pair that Parts Express had in stock. Currently the only Grados I have, but I've owned a few models in the past (including the GW100 v1 very briefly). Looking forward to putting them through their paces.
Anyone know how to fix this cable back to straight? I never see this happens before. The cable was hard and not straight when it was new. I thought it will get softer and straight after awhile but seem like it getting worse.
Sound is balanced! No physical defects, touch wood (or cups in this instance) but I think we have a winner. I prefer the grain on the old cups a little but these are still beautiful.

I stripped off the braiding of my sr225X as from the "Y". This is so much better. IMO Grado should better terminate their HPs this way. It gives added protection and less prone to cup twists above the "Y" and easy cable management below the "Y". The now more exposed cable part is also not slippery compared to previous gen.
