Just scored a pair of Grado SR 325s, older versions, the gold ones. Unfortunately, they don’t have any air pads with them, so I’ll have to pick up a pair.

I know there are some less expensive versions of the G pads, S pads and L pads on Amazon for not too much coin. Should I spend 40 bucks and get a pair of each? Or should I just head over to TTVJ and just buy a pair of flats for $50 and call it a day?

Get this pad. I think this is the best pads for 325. It brings out the bass and tames the upper-mids. I'm enjoying the heck out of my 325i with these pads. IMO 325 is the best choice of Grado.

From the pictures on that link, it looks like those are just the standard L pads? But then they have two other pictures, one looks like the G pads, one looks like the S pads, but with a hole cut the center. Which ones did you use?

The one I linked. It's actually not L-pads. It's not a standard size that Grado officially carries. It's between L and G and works well because of it's sizing. I think the pad sizing is a good sweet spot for bass and imaging.

Ok, but the one in the link technically has three different pictures and they all look drastically different. Darned Amazon and the way they display the products!

is it the ones listed as S-Small? Or the ones listed as L-Large? The ones just listed as Small (not the ones listed as “S-Small”) just look like black Sennheiser 414 pads.

Big and bold like the 325

Or

This one

Both are comfy and sound great with my SR325X
