Which ear cushions go with the Alessandro MS-1's?

[xtengong]

I just got my first pair of quality headphones, the MS-1's, and I was wondering which cushions can I get for it in case i decide to change it.

You can order Bowls or Flats, both from TTVJ:

Grado Bowl Pads - $15.00 : TTVJ, Todd The Vinyl Junkie

Grado Flat Pads - $35.00 : TTVJ, Todd The Vinyl Junkie

and the Senn HD414 pads are an option too

...and just to be complete, the big bagel pads (GS1000) can be used with the MS1 as well, but these are generally recommended against as they are expensive and ruin the sound pretty much

I can buy a pair of bowls for 18 €. What are the pros and cons of bowls over the comfy pads? Are they worth this money? Thanks in advance.

I bought some bowls for €15 and I think they are in fact worth it... but search these forums a bit on sound/comfort reviews of the different pads to learn whether they are in fact what you are looking for

I have the comfies, bowls, and modded hd414. I think the bowls sound the best by a significant margin and even though other people are not able to stand it, I don't think they are that much more uncomfortable than the pads. But if your ears are sensitive, you may want to go with the hds, 414s. I have never tried the flats.

My sentiments exactly! I've had them all and the bowls are not only the best but they are also very comfortable for me. I never wear them more than a couple hours though so that may be a factor. Much better than the 414s IMO.
