Almost ridiculous how essential these are to grado headphones.
When I got my Grados I was not happy with the thing plastic strip covering the headband, almost kept me away from using them alltogether. These made that pair FAR more comfortable.
Quality, Stylish, and Comfortable upgrades to Grado Prestige
As other reviewers have suggested, the "legendary" Grado fit & finish leaves much to be desired for many (including myself) who absolutely love the way many of their products sound. This headband is a very welcome upgrade that significantly boosts appearance, comfort and fit - as for the quality - stitching is excellent, flawless hide, and supple head padding all lend to a very nice looking and feeling piece of leatherwork. I opted for the coffee colour on my SR80e to set off the otherwise black plastic ocean, and love the result. The installation process may look frightening to many but it's straightforward and well worth the experience.
My only issue? I'd love to upgrade the headband on my Beyerdynamic DT880 Editions, but as those headphones *barely* clear my gargantuan head on the stock headband, I fear replacing it with a more thickly padded one will render their fit unwearable for me.
The materials are sturdy and well put together. After a little trial and error I was able to get the headband to push all the way through. Be patient or you'll end up with a gouged band or bent metal on the Grado band. But after the effort, the fit and comfort over the stock band are great. It also added some much needed style to my headphones.
Have an old pair of 10 year old DT880's. The replacement of the headband was a necessity at this point. Went for orange to compliment the blue of the cups, looks retro and I love it. This item is not made for the DT880's, but it works well enough.
The construction is of good quality and it looks good. It is a bit stiff starting out but it gets better.
I got these for my Pandas hoping to make up for the complete lack of padding. It's a tight fit but it will go over the band. Unfortunately it is simply too thick and causes the cups to pull my ears up. No rest for my Panda-sore head I guess. I really do regret those headphones...
Very study, kinda hard but with a bit of wear gets softer and comfier.
It was kinda hard to get on my DT1990, tho that was to be expected since it wasn't mentioned as supported, tho i did get it on and it feels really nice after a bit of time.
Worked well! Though keep in mind to apply it to your grados your going to have to pull off one earcup.
Some people recommend breaking the plastic, I would recommend first gently wiggling the arm back and forth applying pressure to see if the side comes off. Again, different grados come apart differently, some use glue, some just pop off from my experience. The headband itself is good, but a little stiff. I suspect and hope it loosens up over time, but we will have to see.
