did you able to pick or take a look at the wood grain of your gs3000e first? or is it just pure luck? yours really have a beauty looking grain
i'm really curious how many people going to be happy if they got theirs like these one?

if i got one of those... i probably going to ask for replacement...

Yes, I found the same with buying after-market pads G Cushions to try on my SR80e's.
These after-market pads are completely different to the official G Cushions that I have fitted on my GS3000e's. They are much shallower.

Also when I tried them last night on my SR80e's the sound wasn't good. The stock SR80e pads sound 100% better. Only the comfort on the ears was improved.

Out of curiosity how did the G cushions affect the SR80e's sound?

My only complaint about the SR80e's is that they could be more comfortable...

I wouldn’t be happy there.
Sorry. I agree with you for sure.
How much are these $1600??

I hope the wood of the new gh series can be a little dark.

i believe gs3000e more expensive than ps1000e... so maybe around $1700-1800

it depends what kind of g-pad we talking about here. genuine g-pad and knock off g pad have different construction, material stiffness, and dimensions. even in knock off g-pad there are lot of varieties in quality. so it's not wise to generalize all kind of g-pad going to sound pretty much the same
with genuine one, the obvious differences would be the bass going to be reduce and the sound going to be slightly more laid back

Hi. Will there be a gh-5 soon or is this just a wish for the future?

 

[ruhenheiM]

if i'm not mistaken they are still in lockdown, got plenty of time to tinkering something if john somehow got bored... perhaps there would be some grado after lockdown edition

Ooo wow. My GS3000e's are not like that. Did they come like that ? Or have they aged liked that ?

They made the sound of the SR80e's very muddy and congested.

The after-market G cushions I bought off ebay have a different shape to the originals i.e. they are not as deep. The material is also different.

What is the source for legit pads

 

[Gippy]

Cocobolo naturally has a part of the wood that's lighter than the rest:

I'm not sure if it matters, because over time, the wood will darken. My GS3000e is completely browned after 1.5 years of service:

True...but it’s about selection and...the fading is due to them not finishing and sealing the wood..

Grado certainly thinks it's not a defect. They showcased a light-toned unit at their own CanJam booth.
