Grado L-CUSH Replacement Foam Ear Cushion (Pair)

Comments about Grado L-CUSH Replacement Foam Ear Cushion (Pair):

These are, for all intents and purposes, the "donut" pads that come standard with Grado models such as the 325i. They're stiff and a little shy on comfort until they break in a tad, but then Grado fans already value performance over comfort. Just wish the pads didn't wear out so often; I'm on my third pair (including the original set) in a little over three years.

These replacement ear cushions fit perfectly and are more comfortable than the originals.

These are ok, but slightly different than the stock pair on my hf-2 and 325....they are a touch smaller all around and the cutout is also a touch smaller, interferring with the high freq a bit from the driver. Not a big deal but I personally prefer the stock size.....

As far as I can tell these are identical to the stock Grado ear cushions.

Work just like the originals except they don't crumble to black dust like the old ones did. Gotta like that.

Needed to replace my earpads for my Grado SR80 headphones. The older ones were completely squished, put pressure on my ears, and were limiting my listening time.The L-CUSH replacements improved the comfort and sound quality (like when headphones were new). They still make some contact with the ear (not large enough to go completely over the ear), but the pressure is reasonable now.They work as expected, but [$] for two foam pads seems way too high. Hopefully, they will last a long time.

The other "BIG" stores in NYC didn't stock these... even though I originally bought the headsets from them. Was told I needed to order directly from manufacturer (Grado). Glad to find that B&H stocked these.
Loved the Grado 80's. Best headphone I ever owned. Nothing comes close at the pricepoint. Also owned the Bose but quality is much better. Only trouble is that it's open-air headphones so the sound is heard by your neighbours and if you're on plane of bus, you hear lots of background noise.

I bought these L-Cushion Replacement foam ear cushions to for my 9 year old Grado RS2 headphones. My old ones were crumbling and leaving black foam on the side of my face; the headphones started to hurt my ears. Once I bought these, I felt like I had a brand new pair of headphones.

I've loved using my Grado SR-80 headphones everyday over the last four years but recently started noticing my ears smarting -- not the onset of tinnitus, thank goodness, but rather the foam ear cushions finally giving out so that the hard plastic was hitting my outer ear. Replacing the cushions solved all of that! A cheap and easy fix, [...] Definitely get the L-Cushion for the SR-80s; that's what came on my original headphones and they are very comfortable.

I am sorry, but [$] for some foam pads that wear down yearly? When working, they sound amazing, but this is an excessive expense for such a necessary (and cheap to produce) product.

After owning my Grado SR-80's for a few years the pads started to break down and need replacing. These were an exact replacement and fit perfectly.

I am using these on SR60 headphones and they are an improvement over the original cushions.

Comments about Grado L-CUSH Replacement Foam Ear Cushion (Pair):

These are a direct replacement for the original pads, which wear out after a few years. They are of Grado manufacture, not a cheap aftermarket copy.

Comments about Grado L-CUSH Replacement Foam Ear Cushion (Pair):

The Grado web site does not list these as a replacement for the SR60 cushions but they fit perfect and are an improvement over the original coushions. More comfortable than the originals but still could be a little softer.

I have a pair of Allesandro Music Series One (made by Grado) that came with the stock Grado "flats" that the Sr-60i and Sr-80i have. They worked great but after listening for 4 hours or more, your ears start to get sore due to the "pressure" on them. After wearing them out, I replaced them with the L-Cush (bowls) and they fit perfectly on the headphones. It places your ear a little farther away from the element but it opens up the soundstage. With the bowls, there is no foam between the element and your ear. The best thing is that, since my ear fits "inside" the bowl, there is no pressure on it and even after hours of listening your ears aren't sore. If you wash them in soapy water once a month and cut the oily build up, they will last a very long time. You may need to bend the headband out a little so there isn't so much "clamping pressure", depends on how big your head is.

These were a nice upgrade after 2 years with my SR60. It seems the extra material in the original pads which was blocking the drivers - muffles the sound a little if you can believe it. You gain a boost in clarity, detail - and the mids and highs become more forward.

For me, there was an improvement in comfort because my ears aren't crushed by the bowls. Others have experienced the opposite.
