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.

Still uncomfortable

I got these replacement pads after the originals for my SR60 had dissolved. I hoped after some comments that they would be a bit more comfortable as I'm already satisfied with the exceptional sound quality of my Rados.
But they haven't been, at least to me. Granted I have a big head and big ears but these pads still make you want to take them off after every hour. Now parts of my ear are in direct contact with the harder driver protection mesh with no padding at all.
The sound quality is still amazing and may have even improved but I'm not sure it's worth it. You'd need even deeper ring shaped pads to make it comfortable.
If your Grado SR60 pads need replacement you may want to give these a try, but the next time around I'll stick to the regular pads.

Comments about Grado L-CUSH Replacement Foam Ear Cushion (Pair):
I replaced my disintegrated Grado RS2 ear pads with the L-Cush and they fit perfectly. Now I can wear my headphones in comfort. I don't notice any difference in the sound, which is a good thing.

Comments about Grado L-CUSH Replacement Foam Ear Cushion (Pair):
Deterioration of Nakamichi SP-7 headphone ear cushions has been well documented. I just received a pair of Grado L-CUSH replacement ear cushions, and they fit the SP-7 perfectly, they look and sound first-class, and they are extremely comfortable. B & H continues to shine with an endless inventory and exceptional value.

Comments about Grado L-CUSH Replacement Foam Ear Cushion (Pair):
I'd been meaning to replace the ear cushions on my SR125 for some time and I have no idea why I waited so long. I've so missed the great sound stage of these cans. Thank you B&H for wonderful service again and again!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
