Customer Reviews
Shipping was fast, price was fare, and the pads are very comfortable
I am incredibly grateful that Grado offers replacement headphone cushions for sale. If and when the cushions that came with a recently purchased pair of Grado headphones wear out, I can simply replace them and continue using the headphones.
From what I’ve seen, the process for replacing the cushions is simple as well.
Recently acquired a pair of RS1i’s from a fellow audiophile that bolstered beaten and abused L cushions. I pondered if I were to do a replacement of kind, or try the G cushions. I will say it here, all the hype, rave and praise is easily justified. Grado G cushions are well formulated, comfortable and a certain consistency no aftermarket cushion or pad could ever match. They manipulate the sound stage just a way that feels more roomy, and allows for a warmer feel. I prefer my S cushions for short listening sessions, but these… all day comfort. $50 well spent.
I recently purchased a pair of Grado RS-1X headphones through my local dealer. I found them to be excellent in sound quality, but unlike my previous pair of phones from the Prestige series, they felt uncomfortable on my ears, especially when I wear glasses. These larger foam earpads solved the problem completely for an additional $50+. Grado should offer these as standard equipment on their Reference series, but then, they might not be able to sell their Statement headphones because these sound so good. These pads are a bit expensive, but the comfort improvement is well worth it.
First, I was like "what, $50 for ear cushion? Heck, let me spend a fraction and get me one of those cheaper ones on Amazon.." Boy was I wrong. First off, it's not even the same type of material. Build quality is completely different. Next, the sound, wow! It's exactly that Grado sound. Actually, it sound even better. I am using it on my RS1X and wow wow wow. It's worth every penny!
