Geekria Comfort Foam Replacement Ear Pads for GRADO PS1000, GS1000, SR80e, SR80i, SR125i, SR225i, SR60, SR80, SR125 GW100x Headset, Repair Parts (Black)

I tried this on a 325x and RS1x, both fits well. It's not as loose fitting as the stock foam however so it takes some of that 'elbow grease' to get it on the ear pieces for the first time. But once it's on, get ready for that comfort bliss. I noticed some reviewers say that it's somewhat loose. I did not find that this to be the case at all. Actually, it's more secure than the stock ones. Second is that it changes the audio dynamics. Again, I did not find that this was the case. Only difference is that the foams seems to grab more sound from leaking out all over the place and directs them to the ear. So you get an effect that the sounds is coming from a closer proximity than with the stock foams. It also brings out more highs and lows. Due to this mids feel as if somewhat subdued; nothing an EQ cannot fix. Overall, this is a good alternative for those that likes to "roll" foams for experimenting. One last comment is that the signature Grado liveliness is not lost at all. I recommend.EDIT: If your ears start to feel unbearable warmth and your whole head start to feel warm, just wash them. The foam needs to be able to breath.

Having just purchased some unknown headsets while traveling in the big apple, I got some extra pair of foam earpads that are bigger and more adaptable then the original ones. These are larger more wearable and are of great value for the price. I enjoy wearing them so much that I decided to keep them on the headset permanently.

For starters, these are MUCH larger than the stock Grado earpads. The almost make the headphones over-ear, but they're still technically on-ear. They're reasonably comfortable, not quite as plush as the stock pads but they're not annoying or anything.The biggest thing is sound. The SR60x's are pretty wide as they are stock, but man, with these pads the sound stage is noticeably wider. With the stock pads, the headphones are very highs and vocals forward, with the mids pushed back slightly and fairly weak bass (concessions of using open-back headphones and also that signature Grado sound). They still sound great with the stock pads, but with these pads, the highs are relaxed, the mids are brought forward a bit with greater instrument clarity, and the bass is even boosted slightly making these much more balanced sounding. That wider sound also makes imaging amazing, really being able to hear every part of the song.So overall, these are a fantastic mod just for playing around with, listening to different songs with the different sound signatures. I wouldn't recommend them as replacements, but more as an option for experiencing music in a different way using the same headphones.

I ordered these as a means of changing out the L Cushions on my SR225E with G Cushion over the ear style pads. They looked relatively similar to the Grado G Cushions and the reviews seemed pretty good. However, I was not satisfied with the results and decided to buy Grado G Cushions to compare. These do not compare to the G Cushions in very crucial ways. My quick recommendation is to save your money and invest in the extra $40 for original Grado G cushions. Here's a detailed breakdown of my experience:-Size:Although they are relatively the same outer dimensions as the G Cushions they are not the same shape entirely. The G cushions have a much broader and slightly deeper inner bowl, allowing ACTUAL ROOM in the chamber to create space for air to expand and contract properly and create sound. These cushions have a shallower bowl, more of half and oval than half a circle, and, although the main pressure and the contact point is around the ear, they add pressure directly onto the ear due to shallower bowl shape. After about an hour or so of wearing I am experiencing discomfort similar to the pressure on the ear created by the original L Cushions. Grado G Cushions get an immediate win.-Material/Build Quality:These cushions are not made of the same quality material as the G Cushions. They are the same consistent foam throughout with no variance. The G Cushions have additional material either applied to the foam or a different density of foam in key areas to maintain stiffness and control the way sound escapes and is contained. This includes the lip that contacts the head as well as the base that secures them to the driver housings. THIS IS CRUCIAL. The lip adds reinforcement so they don't compress entirely against your head, maintaining the breathability of the chamber and consistent comfort, the base makes them incredibly secure to the driver housing, and they both contribute to control the balance between highs, mids, and lows. Grado designed these for their drivers and their housings. You can bet they've taken into account their own sound and ensured that the shape and materials of their cushions are designed for their soundscape, balance, clarity, etc. These cushions squish up over the ear but do not maintain the structural integrity necessary to maintain the sonic integrity of the Grado sound and soundstage.Sound:This is where things get interesting. As mention the shape and materials directly contribute to the overall sound; altering the size, shape, and material of the resonance chamber between cushion and ear can DRAMATICALLY change the sound of these headphones. These cushions drastically change the quality of all frequency ranges, adding some unwanted contrast (more bass which I was fine with until it poured into the mids, but a lack of mid clarity and a feeling of the mids been squished up against the highs, and as if there is no longer a present and intentional sound stage but more of half of the song in the foreground and the other half in the background. I've read reviews stating that with G Cushions the soundstage also changes and that mids and highs become more apparent and bass response diminishes. Although I do here a change with the Grado cushions it is definitely more subtle, and I feel that I have not lost any bass response but in fact, gained more in a balanced way from the G Cushions! I was prepared to modify the drivers with the Grado cushions but I don't think I will anymore, and if I only had these cushions I would have had to do some serious blind modding to recreate the Grado balance and soundstage.In summary, I've worked in manufacturing, shipping, and quality control of products, and I'm annoying about details, so I can safely say from experience that these cushions are not comparing directly to the G Cushions in the categories of material, build quality, design, and effectiveness as a product. They are priced directly in the quality they are in. I will say for $10 they likely cannot be beaten (haven't tested any others in this price range). But I will happily spend $50 on G Cushions to maintain the integrity of the sound I bought these headphones for.I hope this reaches those looking for more answers. At the end of the day, everyone has a different head shape and ear shape so there is some variance to consider there. In my case, the soundstage and balanced is fairly maintained with the Grado G Cushions, and drastically changed with these ones.

These are unlike Grado's own G cush (salad bowl) pads, but that's not a bad thing. The shape is indeed very similar, and compatibility is the same, but the differences are actually a benefit with certain Grado headphones. The section that goes closest to the driver have a couple of milimeters of depth, whereas the stock Grado salad bowls slope all the way down to being nearly level with the driver. The additional driver depth afforded by these Geekria pads, along with the slightly different foam material, make a noticeable difference when compared side by side with the stock pads on the Hemp headphones. I far prefer the Geekria pads specifically with the Hemp. The stock Grado salad bowl pads do edge these out slightly when compared using my PS2000e, however.I also have a pair of these on my Koss KPH30i, and it does wonderful things for the sound there as well, notably in the treble frequencies. Not that the KPH's needed much help in the first place as they are hands down the best value for money even in stock configuration.TL;DR: By these pads. You get far more value in improved sound than the money you spend on them.
