In Reply to: You apply around the outside of the bowl? posted by John PA on February 16, 2019 at 11:39:08:
... of your stock Grado Bowl pads, sorry for any confusion!I use black electrical tape because it matches the color of the pads but you can use any color you like! But it doesn't even have to be "electrical tape". Just be sure to use a good quality name-brand tape with a strong adhesive backing. Clear Scotch tape, for instance, may not be sticky enough to hang on to the porous foam of the Bowl pads for very long...
3/4" wide tape is the perfect width for the 7/8" wide flat outside section of the pads. Cut off a piece of tape long enough to wrap completely around the pads (I suggest leaving the pads on the headphones while doing this mod). Start at the bottom of the pads and work around to the bottom again so that the finishing seam is less visible. It's not a difficult job for most people but work carefully because you don't want to remove and replace the tape too many times and risk tearing the foam.
What does the mod do? Basically, it alters the reflective/absorptive properties of the pads.
If applied carefully and correctly the tape mod will look OK. Have fun!
