I use something between position 1&2 with S Cushions and pretty close to position 2 with L Cushions. Though the pads aren't that big on my ears, so they aren't quite as much off my ears as 2 would suggest, and in 1 they don't cover the bottom of my earlobes.

  Thats the one!
I wear my (L) cushions like the first photo, just not as high on my ears.
The very tops of my ears are exposed slightly.

i wear mine like the top too, lobes covered, tops just at the the edge of the cushion

Exactly…this way the tops of your ears don't get irritated.

Nope.

Yep, this is it exactly. My L-cushions sit exactly like that and they can be worn for hours and hours.
 
In the thread I made call 'Grado L-Cushion Comfort' I descibed moving the cups up and down the legs. The top picture shows where they ended up comfortable. I then thought of the width of the cup and positioned the driver sat right over the ear canal. As shown in top pic here. It works perfect.

  If only everyone has an uncle as generous and with such good taste as you, stacker!

 
Thanks,
 
 

   
Her parents (an uncle) are raising her up right!

 
To tell you the truth, she's not really my niece, she's my goddaughter, but niece is faster to write so...
 
I can't say that I raised her, but having no children of my own,  I feel very honored that I was the one her parents chose, so I try to be there for her as much as possible.
 
She say it's cool to have a godfather that drives a sports car with a big sound system, and who likes the same genre of music she does. 
 
 

Ooooh... I could NEVER part with a Grado, even for a niece! I did once, trading my PS500 for an original RS1 with buttons, but then I bought another PS500 FAST!

 
It's not like I gave her my PS1000, I gave her my SR80i. This was the reason why I bought my SR80e, in the first place.

For a while I thought it was the ear pads of my SR325e also until I thought about it, and ....

Off go my GH-1s to new owners! Put em up for sale just today, I love em to death, but I gotta fund my new (last) amp somehow. I've still got the SR-80i though!

Ha ha ha....yep..."guilty"  

 

[dr cornelius]

  any opinions on how Grado (and specifically the 325e) does with jazz/acoustic recordings?  I've seen comments on how well they sound with rock/electric guitar. 

I have 125e and Rs2e’s - I love how these headphones sound with jazz/acoustic recordings... I’ve only heard the 325e’s in stores a couple of times, so I can’t specifically comment on sound - but I do remember know that I much prefer the comfort of the RS2e’s - the metal 325’s are a little heavy...

No they are not ....heck, the L cushion is over ear for me

Gee that's a hard one. I would have sold the amp to fund the gh1 and have a lesser amp.

I just ordered a Schiit Vali 2 amp to pair with my Grados. Looking forward to some nice tube action!
