Hey everybody! I have just made an astouding discovery about comfort levels of my Grados

Some huge exams are heading my way, and I had my headphones on for about six hours in one session, with just sips of my coffee and vigorous typing for studying and such. When I took off my headphones, I immedidately realized something: My ears didn't hurt AT ALL!

The reason? I was wearing my hood to my sweatshirt. Funny enough, I realized that my Grados do not degrade in sound quality when a hood is worn over them, people tell me that the sound leaks less, and it is a hell of a lot more comfortable becasue the sweatshirt hood gives my ears the extra padding it needs.

Before spending money on the "comfy" pads, try wearing your Grados with a sweatshirt on

That's all. Happy Listening

Comments anybody?

Shouldn't the thread title be "Most comfortable WAY TO WEAR Grados ever."

Doesn't that muffle the sound?

I imagine it would muffle the sound, but if you're studying intensely, then music kind of just becomes background noise anyway.

Critical listening would probably be another deal.

I did the sock mod as described here. I find that my SR80s are quite a bit more comfortable.

It may be the clothing I am wearing, but I experienced no muffling at all. At least nothing to the degree that I could notice it.

Normally, wearing senns, I would notice that this would be muffled, it's just the design of the headphone. Since Grados almost act as mini-speakers (I know they're not, but the sound is that open) I think the response is very different.

I am listening at normal volume with no complaints of muffled sound. Give it a try for yourselves!

I recently discovered that Flat pads are the light of dawn.
No hurting ears after hours of listening (that the bowls did)

Have you had any experience with the 414 pasd? I find the 414 pads much more comfortable than the stock my MS-1s came with, and im wondering if the flats wouldbe any better.
