Hello All,
I am currently using my Grado 325s with the stock bowl pads and I find them to be bit too bright for my taste and a tad uncomfortable (can wear it for 2-3 hrs max). I have tried putting pads of a PoS philips fone which was very thin. This improved the comfort a bit but they made the cans dark sounding and the details were gone.
After reading all the posts about using different pads I think Grado Comfy pads with the center part removed looks like a good option.
One more advantage which I think that the comfy pads might provide is that they can work in two ways. Using them directly makes them closer to flat pads. And using them flipped as Dark Angel has suggested which makes the sound closer to the bowl pads but still less brighter.
Just a little question regarding this
Will the radioshack pads work equally well or they are sonically inferior to the comfys? The comfy pads cost about USD 15 shipped and the radioshack ones are much cheaper. If the radioshack pads work fine then will be able to buy 2 pairs (one for my SR-80s)
thanx
