From what i can find, they mount in place of the plastic that's holding the drivers, so it's basically the plastic ring already on your grado's, but longer, putting the driver further away.

You can see them on Head-Fi forum.

Thanks you for the info, I searched under Dark audio because I've read about them a while ago, but didn't remember where. Thanks again!

Just got my second pair of Grado's! I've had 325's for a few years now, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and got a pair of PS1000's. My Woo Audio amp is on the way. My ears love me right now!

Congrats, on that spectacular purchase!
 
I just received my G-Cushions to try on my RS1i....I have not had time to listen to them yet....but I can share a picture.

@whirlwind... I am curious: did you replace the cushions for comfort or sound reasons (or both)?
 
Thanks, in advance.

Congrats!, as they say, we only live once, as i have said many times before, aside for their weight, i love everything about my PS1000.I just put some new 6922 Electro Harmonix tubes on my Musical Fidelity X-Can V2, and my PS1000 seem to be agreeing with that choice,
 
Enjoy your new set up, and please give us your impressions when you get your amp.
 
By the way, wich Woo amp did you buy?

Where did you get the tubes? Looking for some in the uk for my vcan 2 but don't want to pay mega bucks.

Two important add-ons for every PS1000 (at least it perfectly worked for me :wink: ) :
- a better head band, onyx manata is really good ( http://turbulentlabs.com/grado-onyx-manta/ )
- a nice headphone stand like the omega to keep its setting otherwise you must set it properly each time you put it on your head and it is quite boring in the end ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sieveking-Sound-Omega-Headphone-Stand/dp/B007VSU5HC )

These two tweaks are a good solution for tackling the effects of the PS1000 big weight.

I just wanted to try them and see what the differnce in sound would be....I am in no way dissatisfied with my RS1i....hell....I love them to death as they sound great and I have never had any comfort issues with them.....I guess I am just experimenting more or less.

I rarely wear mine more than 2 hours at a time so, personnally, the stock headband doesn't bother me, and i always set mine flat, that way, the ajustments stay put, and i don't have to reajust them everytime.

Went to my first meet. A lot of great HP's and gear making my head sping...some amazing rigs. Yet, in some ways it makes me appreciate the simple pleasures my 225i brings!
