Crazy how much those third party cushions can change sound. I have some L pads I bought that seem a bit stiffer, boosts the midbass a bit on my RS1X. I do like the boost I think, since I think they headphones are a bit bass light.

You can soak and then dry to soften them up if they’re uncomfortably stiff (warm water, maybe a little soap, squeeze lightly, resoak, etc., then rinse and dry), but I won’t promise that they’ll sound identical after the softening…

Sounds good and clean

That’s why I’m worried to soak any of my pads haha. I might do it anyways. Worst case scenario I can run to the local audio store and buy the L pads they have.

It’s not night and day either way (comfort or sound), but it’s worth a try for comfort. I soaked mine, and ended up buying the Dekonis anyway.

Sounds like a descripton of what happens if you wear them on a normal day outside

Having one of those moments that I'm sure most, if not all of you have had at some point of your headphone journey. I'm blown away by the GS3000x with tubes. Listening to Flac streaming on Qobuz and it's amazing. Bela Fleck sounds oh so good. Brings me to another plateau....


Just saying! YMMV LOL

Yup, and when your ears say that is the best you ever heard a favorite track it is magical and long remembered.

My GS1000x has now a second failed gimbal where the earphone cup has just come off the headband. Not what one would expect from a $1,200 headphone. I'll be trying to return and replacing with an LCD 2, something substantially built. I've still got my 225x's though luckily, the rods/gimbals are still secure despite an equal amount of use.

So you're sayin' you want your gimbals not to fall off ?
