It's hard to tell looking at the advert photos. Thanks.

they should fit, probably improves comfort, but I haven't heard much good soundwise. try searching for 'donut' and 'rsi', that should give you some info.

Yes. But I didn't like the sound at all. It's like it de-RS1'd my RS1's ... the energy, snap and presence were gone. I keep the GS1K pads on the GS1K's and the RS1's bowls on the RS1's ... it's a happy arrangement and it works.

Experiment, though ... maybe you'll like it.

Thanks very much for this info. The GS1000 pads are £50 in the UK - a bit too much to experiment with. The diminished sound quality - losing the energy and presence - is a pity - those qualities are exactly what I prize in my RS1is. Their stock earpads are a little uncomfortable and I wondered if the GS1000 pads might be an improvement.

The GS1K pads keep the driver about 1 inch or more away from your ear ... that's what kills the RS1's magic.

They work well with the GS1K's, strangely enough ... and I have to say the inverse is also true, that the standard RS1 bowls sound like crap on my GS1K's ...

Strange voodoo they're brewing up in NYC ... but it works for me.

BTW: the GS1K pads are a million times more comfortable than the RS1 bowls ... most comfortable headphone I've ever worn.
