Which Grados are you interested in? I've always read that flats were meant for the woodies (RS series) and maybe 325is.

Definitely Flats, but quartered/Reversed Senn414 pads arent bad either

I haven't tried the 414 pads but for comfort I rate them:

C-Pads
comfies
flats
bowls

For SQ I rate them:

flats
bowls
comfies
C-Pads

(bowls and comfies are a tie here depending on music type)

Of course these are my preferences and I know not everybody feels this way.

TY for responses.

I prefer the flats, but the bowls are a close second.

 

[feh1325]

i guess it depends on what kinda music i'm listening to and what kinda mood i'm in
and how i'll be listening

hd414 or comfies if i want that extra slam, a bit more bass, and comfort

bowls if i have the time and energy to really enjoy and listen to my music

i've been reaching for my comfies lately, but i voted hd414 because they're cheaper

Meh, I prefer taped bowls to flats or reversed quarter pads. I'm crazy like that.

Depends on the phone you will be using. I personally like Reversed Bowls on the SR-80 and Flats on the MS-2. I abhor the reverse combination.

Cheers!

414 pads, quarter modded. Works pretty well, not as uncomfortable as the bowls.

It's difficult to choose between bowls and flats. Bowls open up the sound so much. They sound tinny without a warm source/amplification however.
Flats add so much body to the sound, especially the bass and the drums. They do sound congested in comparison though.
I've gone from flats to bowls, and back to flats again, so you could say I'm undecided.

 

[darckhart]

I guess I'm slightly undecided as well since I often switch them around depending on the music I'm listening too. Although when I'm lazy I guess I have a tendency to leave the comfies on.

Taped bowls by quite a margin.

I'm going to do a bowl/flat/HD414 comparison thread quite soon as I see a lot of questions regarding all three.

Flats for me!
