Title: Grado SR225 foam earpads...
Post by: Genghis Cougar Mellen Khan on March 26, 2006, 01:39:07 PM
One of the foam pads on my Grado's is starting to stretch just enough to fall off from time to time, does anyone know of any other replacements than these 2?:

You can get some flats from Todd the Vinyl Junkie.

Thanks Nick.  I ended up just ordering the identical replacement pads, it gave me an excuse to call Headroom and order another set of cans.  :P

Thanks!

I was thinking HD595's, suppose to be a slight bit more forward than the 600's or 650's (a little too laid back to my preferences), I didn't know a thing about them, figured why not give them a try.

I've looked for stands, I've seen hooks, but not stands.

I grabbed the picture from the net (some trade show).

These are a little expensive, but they're well made.
