 Put these on your SR-60s May 6, 2007

The pads that come on the SR-60s are terrible, just awful. They hurt my ears after not too long. I replaced them with a set of these and, wow, they really helped out in more ways than I had anticipated. They get the driver closer to your ear so it really feels like the headphones are on your ear instead of just near it. They also seem to help the bass response a little bit-- I can't prove this empirically, but I think that they help to focus the sound a little better than the foam covers that the SR-60s come with. Also, there is nothing between your ear and the driver, so no layer of foam to affect sound in any way. If you bought the 60s and are thinking of getting something like the 80s or 125s, try this as a $15 upgrade first. Yeah, I might still get the 125s or 225s later, but swapping the pads is a great help, too!

These are easy to use and fit very well when placed. I do wish it was easier to find a replacement for the pads of my old Grado HP-2's, but these work great for the SR-80. I bought them just to use when the ones that came with them wore out. I put them on to see how easy it was to replace them, and I had no problems.
Great upgrade for SR60 August 2, 2009

One of the subtle differences between the SR80 and 60 is this pad. Now, it doesn't make sense to buy this with your SR60, as the total cost would end up the same as the 80. But if you have a 60 lying around that needs new pads, I'd run with these.
They tighten what bass you already have with the 'comfies' that come with the SR60. In fact, if you don't know much about audio you might even say it has a tad less *quantity* of bass with these cups. The fact is that the SR60's "comfies" pads provide less detailed bass, as in it can sound a bit smeared (though still good). These tighten that up immediately, and is among the reasons that everyone says that the SR80 offers better bass performance than the 60, with all else being equal. This, combined with the extra distance provided by the material of the cups, provides a wider stage and an overall more pleasant listening experience, in my opinion. Though all Grados already provide an 'out of head' listening experience, these will provide even more of that effect to the SR60. They also look fantastic when applied.
Tip - try rolling a single layer of black electrical tape around the outer edge of this pad. Just Google it to see what I am talking about. It sounds silly, but it does add a subtle punch to the low end if that's what you're after! If you do it carefully, it looks professional. While you're looking around, take a look at all of other insane ways to modify your Grado cans.
Anyone complaining about paying $20 for a replacement piece of foam is obviously unfamiliar with how the pricing of proprietary products works (I'm talking to you, dude who rated these poorly because he doesn't like the price). Yes, it's a rip-off, but man, these are your Grados we are talking about here. Oh, and though this is subjective, I have no issues with comfort, despite the driver being bare as compared to the stock 60 pad.
More comfortable than you've heard and great for sound stage! February 25, 2007

Grado has a world wide reputation for the best sound reproduction in their cans (audiophile speak for headphones) and they have the awards to back them up! Too often though, I've read reviews where comfort is criticized and that these ear cushions are allegedly to blame. Nonsense!
It is true that Grado cans are supraural (on the ear) as opposed to circumaural (around the ear) so you will feel the unit against your ears. These cushions were redesigned back in 1998, offering greater thickness and distance from the transducer so that you feel more comfortable while listening through your cans AND the design allows for a greater soundstage for the magnificent Grado cans to impress you with. These cushions, called "L-Cush" here, can be used on every single pair of current Grado cans except perhaps the $1000 set. I use them on my SR60's, which come with a standard foam cushion that covers the whole transducer and it made them sound quite nearly as good as the SR80's! I recommend them to you wholeheartedly! If you google "The Listening Station," that is the place to purchase any Grado product from!
Why Did I Wait? January 11, 2008

I just purchased these for my SR60s. I don't know why I waited so long! The L-Cush is a huge improvement over the original pads. I used Sennheiser replacement pads for a long time but they were ugly (yellow!) and rather uncomfortable.
The only problem I've encountered is they make my ears hot. The crumbling over time issue is not only a problem with this particular pad--all foam pads like this will crumble over time. They are cheap enough to replace when they start to crumble.
I haven't used my Grados for a long time because my pads had worn out and it was quite uncomfortable. Purchasing these replacement pads has given new life to my cans!
