I just got these in the mail today and I definitely think they deserve some more lovin', the bass on my HF-1s has now become shockingly close to

, in a good way though. The pads also took the edge off a bit on the highs. I didn't think my Grados could be improved on for $15, but damn, just goes to show money means nothin'. Only problem I can see is that the pads don't fully cover the woody driver housings. I can't wait to wear them to school tomorrow though

, should be interesting. I'll post pics later on tonight, feel free to post yours as well

I like the look of the yellow pads, makes the already retro looking Grados even more retro looking.

I should order some, where did you order yours from? Sennheiserusa.com? If so how long did it take to get them?

 

[skyline889]

Ebay, you can find 'em cheaper but I wanted mine right now

. Got mine in two days after I paid.

They definitely did good things to my cheapo Koss KTX-Pro1, and can clearly do good things to pricier cans as well... nice pads

.

I got a pair very quickly directly from senn as well

Been using them on my SR60s for a week or two now and I really like the way they sound.

Are the back of the pads supposed to rest on the back of my ears or kind of on my head?

Oh can someone who has dyed them tell me what dye you used? Yellow is kind of ugly.

Hail to the 30 year old HD414 pads! The first headphone earpads to ever touch my ears as a 12 year old virginus-headphoneus supremus.

Transform the KTXPro1 into a HD201 stomping, KSC75 clone.
Portable foams of choice for my MS1.

I love mine, too. Comfort + quality + cheap (4.00 specifically) = amazing.

I really like the look of the yellow pads with the Grado's too. I like the contrast I guess. Plus, they are very comfortable IMO. I never even tried the Grados with the bowl pads, I ordered my SR225's along with a set of the 414's from ebay and threw them on straight away. Very comfy.

They are über nice, I live in Denmark so i bought mine from Thomann.de and therefore I had to buy 4 pairs (because you have to for at least 25 euro or soo). But luckely one of my friends a fellow head-fier "Greisen" needed a pair as well, soo we are now two happy non-iron ears Grado lovers in Denmark - Aalborg

Hey technetium - I live in Denmark as well, and I just ordered a pair of MS-1, so if you have a spare set of 414 pads you wanna sell, please let me know!

By the way - this is my first post, after I've been reading the forums for a while!

Welcome to Head-Fi!

Here're the pics I promised, the HF-1s look pretty funky now. Let's see some more

I only bought 414s for my MS-1s cuz they are easier to find in a darkened room if I absent-mindedly set them down somewhere!

And,...oh yeah, they sound better, change the sound when you change the size of the holes, and are more confortable too!!

Already spend too much money, according to my girlfriend

I'm glad you all enjoy your yellow pads. I didn't care for them, at all. I thought they made the HF-1s sound muddy and bloated. It's one of those things that I just don't see how anyone would like it, but lots do.
I really am glad ya'll like 'em. Different strokes, I guess.

Sorry, double post.
