Let me know how it goes, I'm considering selling my modded SR-60 and Sextett for a DT880-600ohm if I can't figure it out.

 
DON'T DO IT! You'll regret it. There has to be a work around so that you can still enjoy your Grados. Out of all the headphones I have owned and tried Grados are by far my favorite, and I am only at the 80i!

I don't know if it helps you guys, but Larry Dale at www.headphile.com has some interesting options an ideas for modding the Grado pads. You may want to see what he has to offer just in case it helps.

Yeah, $245 for the C pads is a bit steep for me. Thanks though!

 LMAO! Indeed. Well, I would like to report that since having the PX-100 mod on my bowls and listening for an hour I can say I have very little if any discomfort on my antihelix. I will be listening the rest of the night, til about 1:00am, MST, I will report back then.
 
Cheers,

I don't think there is a difference in sound quality, not that I am noticing anyway. I was more concerned about the comfort issue and getting that sorted out. Tomorrow I might play around and see if there is a difference between the two.

Sure thing...I may be wrong and it wasn't Larry who had the DIY option, but I know I've seen a DIY plan with the beyer pads for Grados...I'll see if I can trck it down for you.

Make sure your PX-100 pad is well stretched and fitted, and the bowl's back edge is sitting past the back edge of the PX-100, you want to keep the drivers as close as possible to your ear, even with that extra layer of foam covering it.
 
If you still can hear a difference, it is most probably caused by the fact your PX-100 isn't quarter-modded, and you have golden ears.
 

 
I used to have a lot of comfort problems with bowls too, so I used only flats and HD414, but now loving my PX100-Bowl pads, and using them almost exclusively.

Well, I didn't expect it, but after a week or so, I do really like the 225i Grado's. They complement the 598s really well and I enjoy listening to both equally. Each day the discomfort I had with the drivers rubbing against my ear diminishes too, but I was struggling with the problems you guys are discussing right now. It doesn't bother me as much as it did earlier. When it starts to hurt I switch over to the 598s because their pads are the softest I've ever experienced.

How do you like them so far? What type of pads are you using. Do you plan to mod them?
 
Cheers,

This whole Grado comfort thing is just fascinating to me...I've honestly tried to understand it,but I guess it must be something with certain types of ears, cause I just don't have anything like what some of you guys are describing at all. The Grados barely have any clamp at all to them and I find the pads very comfortable, especially after throwing them in with the laundry. My ears don't sweat at all and I can wear any of my three pairs for hours on end and often fall asleep with them on. I guess I just have the right shape/size ears or something...I dunno. Sorry you guys are having to go through that, though, especially if you like how they sound...must be very frustrating.
