I pulled a pair of Grado Labs SR100 headphones with HP-1000 drivers (red lettering version) out of storage for a non-portable headphone application and was pleased to find the model seems to have a cult following.

I was surprised to see how high-priced it can be listed for.

I also came to remember how uncomfortable they can be. Is there a deluxe replacement pad in terms of better comfort without substantial sonic penalties? TIA

 I've never liked on-ear pads so I went with the G-Cush.

I like it. Maybe you won't.

 Try bending the headband open so the pressure on the ear is reduced enough to be comfortable. My Grado RS-2 headphones are fairly comfortable when adjusted properly.

Good luck,
