Replacement Ear Pads Foam for Grado PS1000, GS1000, GS1000i Headphone | Foam for Grado GS1000i, GS1000e, GS2000e, PS1000, PS1000e Headset

The Koss KPH30i have gotten loads of great reviews- an inexpensive open air headphone that is as good as or almost as good as many headphones costing much more. I really like the headphones, found the sound excellent, but they are a bit uncomfortable as the ear pads sit on top of your ears and the pressure gets uncomfortable after awhile. I stumbled upon a review of someone who paid a lot for Grado replacement foam and retrofitted these onto these headphones which involved removing the stock foam including disassembling each side of the stock headphones. No thanks. Then I discovered someone recommending this pad as it just goes over the existing pads. There's a circular notch in these that the stock ear pads slip into and once in they stay put. Yes they look big BUT the sound quality improvement in AMAZING. It's the best $9 I ever spent. Not only are they comfortable, but the sound is so much better. The ear pads now sit on your head, not on your ears. Better bass, Better treble. the sound is more enveloping like a closed ear headphone but one that doesn't completely seal your ear. The Koss KPH30i are just sensational with these added.

There is a youtuber saying these will fit the entry level Grado headphones like the SR60e that I have. They do fit, but the fit is loose. If you are rough with your headphones, they will not stay on for long. I am easy on my headphones and have had no problem with the pads staying on my head or the drivers. These over-the-ear pads are significantly more comfortable than the on-ear pads that come with the Grado 60's and 80's. The construction feels quality and these cushions do improve the sound stage of the headphones. Also, the new cushions did not require any modification to attach to the SR60e, and they fit my head fine.

First off, they are so very comfortable. Gotta give them that. I am putting them married to my KOSS KPH-30i as suggested. They will lessen the bass a little. That is because the tension on the Koss that connects the headphones over the head aren't strong enough to really push them onto your head, or into your ears. But you want these because they are light weight and feel airy. I wouldn't wear them when it is hot outside and go for a walk, think sweat, but in winter, sure. They aren't like ear muffs. But they do eliminate a lot of strong wind noise. And you can still hear yourself talk. So I will wear them anytime during the winter when not hot, and on late evenings and after dark walks. They work very well with my Resounds Hearing Aides. Very well. And reading or sunglasses don't push the arms into your temples. So there is that. I am keeping them. But I now know what I am getting into. They would not be my choice for watching TV, as I have another pair that fills that role. By the way, my pair did not have the pre cuts for the wires from the headphones as they show in many pictures and reviews. Had to use a pair of sewing scissors to cut the relief for the cords. Wasn't thinking that was going to be necessary. They should have come that way.

Fantastic value! An essential upgrade for comfort. Fits both my ancient SR60 and SR80, which are unwearable after a few minutes due to the thin OEM foam. But also my modern SR325x too. What's not to love? Sounds great. Not discerning enough to say it's better or not, just more comfortable was my main criterion. Certainly not detrimental in any way. And absolutely TRIVIAL to swap out -- even go back to the old ones if you like the pain! Was going to go with Dekoni, but no need. Did I mention great value?! One side was a bit crumpled in the soft baggie (no high-end packaging at this price, good, no waste), but it comforms just fine to my head, so will straighten out after a few wears I'm sure.

These are more comfortable than the Grado SR80x's stock pads, but it places enough distance between my ear and the driver that the detailed & incisive Grado sound is compromised, scooping the mids. Losing any midrange is lethal in my preferred genre, classical music. Gotta give these a pass.

Good quality. Good fit. Larger size than original gives a wider soundstage.

It does the job in terms of sound, but you'll still want to use EQ and it doesn't fix the terrible crater around 4khz, which is the most sensitive sound we can hear. You'll have to cut a part of it but it somewhat fits. I want you to understand that this thing is absolutely MASSIVE tho. They're much larger than Sennheiser pads and you'll look extremely goofy. On the bright side, they're pretty comfy.

Will it work with Grado headphones? Yes. Is it a 1 for 1 replacement for a G Cush from Grado at a cheaper price? Absolutely not. The outside dimensions are slightly smaller than a G Cush and the cups are no where near as deep as a actual G Cush. The Foam is of a lower density than that from Grado. However if your interested in using this for Koss or other Grado headphones to see if it makes a difference in sonic profile then it is worth a try at $15. But if your need a replacement for a G Cush you better buy the one from Grado.
