I made my own foam adapters which lets you fit any ear pad you want over a Grato. No cutting up ear pads needed. Pretty much defeated all my friends opinions on Grados being uncomfortable to wear. It is just a dollar store arts and crafts mod. *Get some EVA foam sheets, 6mm or 1/4 inch thick works best. Get any ear pads you want, all sizes wider than 50mm or 2 inches will work (pretty much all aftermarket pads). *Put the ear pad on the EVA sheet and trace out the shape of it on the foam. *Cut the shape to size if its an adhesive back type or slightly undersized to allow the ear pad to lip over the foam. Trim the edges of the shape as needed. *Mark the center of the foam cutout and draw a 50mm diameter circle around it with a compass. Cut out the hole you just drew, hobby knife works best. *Insert your foam inserts into the back of the ear pads or stick it to the adhesive back of an adhesive one. *Press the 50mm hole in the foam over the cups of the headphone to install each ear pad. Your done! *Try different pads until you tweak the sound to just the way you like it. Or have different pads ready for different listening scenarios.
I had these, for a week or so, but returned them because while they feel and look absolutely awesome, they sound really closed in, especially when I am comparing them to a KZ IEMs. Both are Chinese, the mezes are designed in Romania.
@@ThatOneAudioGuy good to know. They look like the same thing in pictures. The extra $10 is not too much to pay for something that offers such great amount quality.
@@ThatOneAudioGuy I did internet research and indeed it is clear from Koss's specs alone that they are two very different headphones. The drivers must be totally different. Have you ever checked out the Koss KTXPRO1? I'm going out on a limb here, but I think those are incredible headphones, ugly as all getout, but truly sound great to me. They cost LESS than $20! To me they sound very very good, and not just for the price. To me they just sound really good. I'm curious about your take on them.

I have those headphones and I have that bass guitar. I love these headphones because they only cost around $70-80 and they're light and comfortable and I've been using the same pair since 2018 which is basically unheard of. I do think while theyre not SUPER bassy I think when there is bass it's more than adequate and when there's a boom or low rumble it's surprisingly powerful, obviously nothing crazy but when artillery hits in Rising Storm 2 for example the power is pretty solid, sometimes I thought I left my subwoofer connected (used to use a 2.1 setup swapping between headphones and speakers but keeping the sub on)
I just want to say that you've been my favorite audio reviewer. There are a lot of reviewers out there with high production values and a super techincal vocabulary, but nothing quite beats a regular guy just sitting in front of web cam, casually telling you about a pair of cans. It honestly makes me want to startmy own channel.
Im a little zoinked right now, idk how I ended up here but its honestly the best. Thank you for making my Thursday interesting. I felt like a kid again xD
Unrelated to the video but are you ThatOneAudioGuy making the Shadow Wizard Money Gang songs? EDIT: You are!!1 I just wanted to praise the production and the beats on all those songs overall. They feel so fresh instrumentally wise. But.... I gotta be honest, I'm not really a fan of the guys rapping. They felt quite off most times, and mentioning the Shadow Wizard Money Gang a lot felt a bit cringey. Still, I see a LOT of potential in you guys. The beats and the groove are solid for me, but who knows in what else you could improve there. I'm invested.
@@ThatOneAudioGuy Understandable. In my opinion if you guys can't quite achieve the same results lyrics wise there is always the instrumental only way. This would be a fire alt groovy beat tape.
A little late to this party, you are, lots of reviews out there for these from years ago. And they aren't really $25 cans. The original pads they come with are UNWEARABLE, they are that bad. So you're basically required to upgrade, which makes these a $50 pair of cans.
Hi! The graphs on the Rtings are not really correct, because their target graph it's not flat sounding, but it's harman target, what it's Like a "v" shaped graph with linear midrange
Don't complain that they look plain-jane, bud. They're less likely to walk off when your back is turned. $200 headphones LOOK like $200 headphones. Headphones that sound like $200 and look like something you bought at the dollar store don't attract thieves. And it's not about the bling anyway. As for wanting thicker pads, go to the craft store and buy a hunk of 1/8" rubber foam. Cut a couple small pieces to size and stuff them inside the existing earpads. Or get some third-party earpads.
