Got a pair of those gimbals and rodblocks on order, Przem is a nice guy to deal with! I think I’m second on the list for them!

I’ve been chatting to Przem @Shipibo lately about the slim rodblocks/gimbals and Zebrano cups. It looks like you got the first pair of gimbals and last pair of cups. Basically you built the headphones I was planning. Gotta say Nice job tho, even if it looks like you stole my planned cans! You haven’t said which drivers are going in them tho, it’s not Turbulent X is it? If not I may still have a chance of originals! Tho I have been looking at Rhydons c7 3D printed cup too

It reminds me somewhat of the Keralian Birch cups that were posted somewhere in the Grado section a while back!

I have a sr 225e I put some g-coushin and the sound has improved a lot, the bass is beautiful, the mids are not as aggressive as before and the instruments are more precise.

Where they the original Grado G-pads or generic / Earzonk G-pads?

@cirodts , these are considered generic G-pads. FYI: you might be able to get them cheaper from ebay
Grado G-pads are usually $30-40 and you can tell by the construction since its built with 3 different layers of foam while generic ones are usually only a single type of foam. I find the generic G-pads more comfortable since the foam is softer than the Grado pads on the edge and as a benefit they boost the bass a little and give a slightly better sound stage over the stock L-pads

Yes I feel great with g pad, the sound is different and more engaging

I almost gave up with Grado headphones since I didn't think about trying the G-pads and only the Grado L-pad, Earzonk L-pad and the flats (S-pads?). While the EZ L-pads are a touch more comfortable than the Grado L-pads they change the sound too much and get painful for me after an hour but the with the generic G-pads I've been able to listen for 7-8 hours. While not quite as comfortable as the generic G-pads the Grado G-pads reduces the bass a few dB's but they do seem to have better imaging and sound stage so for some it maybe the better choice.

I have the generic g-pads, I've had improvements: comfort, soundstage, more separate and distinct instruments, fantastic and average lows no more tiring.
