Grado Headphone Replacement G-Cushions

Large ear pads provide more comfort by distributing the clamping pressure over a larger contact area and better stabilizes the headphones from falling off. The sound stage is larger with more precise sound source placement and rendering of recording venue ambiance and space. Genuine Grado G-cushions are the real deal, albeit expensive and the foam ages quickly, flaking off after a couple of years of gentle use. Cheap knockoff G-cushions do not sound nearly as good, nor do they fit as well.

Grado Headphone Replacement G-Cushions

I have owned two pairs of Grado headphones. On both pairs, the headphone cushions, start to deteriorate and disintegrate after a period of time. They are the ugliest cushions of any headphones I have ever seen. While they are fairly comfortable, they still feel kind of rough to the skin. With all the great headphones on the market now, I would not have bought my GS 1000i headphones. I feel there are much better looking, comfortable and better sounding headphones for the $1,000 I paid for these. If I owned Grado, I would get rid of those inferior quality material, ear cushions and replace them with something nicer looking and more comfortable to the skin than those ugly cushions they use and will guarantee to disintegrate after a period of time. I'm sure this would increase the sales of Grado headphones. And $50 for those cheap replacements is ridiculous. More proper price would be around $20 tops!

FANTASTIC !!!
I only got them because the originals (30-40 years old maybe?) were starting to crumble, but these are in a different world. Wish I had done it a long time ago!!!

Ordered by mistake, can't be returned
