Hi all,
 
First post to a great site
 
What I wanted to know was if anyone knows any alternative pads to use with the Grado SR-80i ?
 
I really love the sound, but the pads it comes with are not to my liking so any advice would be great.
 
Cheers Guys

The stock S-cush are the most comfortable
 
There are the L-cush which some people like. Some hate with a burning passion
 
G-cush are the largest and second most comfortable.
 
Then there are the HD414 pads which collect hair and carry a weird smell
 
I've tried all four and like the S-cush that came stock.
 
 
Try unbending the headband to adjust the pressure on your head. This is one of the largest comfort changes.

Possible custom J$ leather earpads.

You can find more than you wanted to know about Grado pads at http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/evaluation-grado-stock-and-modified-ear-pads
For the record, I use the Radioshack replacement headphone pads on my Grados.

TTVJ flats- Do they work on the 80s?

I like the yellow Senn HD 414 pads.  The smell goes away after a little bit, they sound a bit better IMO than stock Grado comfies (more clarity), they are more comfortable than the Grado comfies, and FAR more comfortable than the Grado bowls.  They will collect long straight hair though (no problems with short and curly).

Heya,
 
L-cush all the way. I found them to have the best sound and feel good. The G-cush feel better, but they ruin the sound in my experience with every Grado from the 325 down. It becomes a tizzy mess of treble with anemic bass on the G-cush pads. But the L-cush pads let you hear a great experience with Grado.
 
Very best,

I'm confused on telling the difference between the G and L-pads.  Which one are these?

Those look like L cups, also called "bowls".

Thank you!  Anyone willing to double confirm?

I would buy the grado replacement ear pads as they are better quality for around the same price. The Grado pads have three different densities of foam that give the Grado's that great sound. The knock off pads absorb frequencies you are meant to hear.
