Just got the pads in today. Comfort is a 10. Ears will get a little warm. Adds a slight bit more warmth to the sound. I probably would stick with the perforated pads that I have here. I would think the solid Lambskin will be way too dark.
Also do note that the ring will not work with Beyerdynamic pads. The lip is not long enough to attach them. But the XL Brainwaz pads will sorta work.
Bump to ask for more impressions of the Shipibo pads. Do they cut sound stage a lot compared to the G? Because I don’t want to lose too much of the sound stage or airiness of the Gs
Liking these hybrid pads from beautifulaudio.biz… Trying to drum up enough guts to do the removable cable mod next, but loving the sound so much, a bit nervous about cutting the cables…
They really have compressed. Still sound great as I have them on right now. I spoke to the dealer and he is sending me some new foam. They are two and a half years old.
Did anybody try new RS1x? They seem very special: made of Maple, Hemp, and Cocobolo wood. And they have new 50mm X Driver vs all other Grados 44mm drivers.
