My local snooty audiophile shop sold me a $10 set of replacement foam pads that are radically more comfortable than the originals.
Oh, nice one! Not to hijack the thread or anything, but do you have any details on those?

And, I completely agree about the "revealing" nature of Grado headphones. When I first got them and plugged them into my PC, I was shocked that I could hear my mouse moving.
Cheap PC audio used to be pretty bad in this respect. I remember hearing the network traffic loud and clear on my old Sony laptop, and the Dell I once had was so noisy, headphones were very unusable. On the flip side, the ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe nForce2 based PC that I've been using for a few years has surprisingly nice clean clear sound.

I really loved my Koss PortaPros [...] I was kind of afraid to wear them in public, though. I don't think they're any uglier than the Grados
Yeah, I love the look of the Grados - its kinda old school and a completely different planet than your modern Sennheiser space-age affair. There is no way I'm wearing the SR60s out of the house though
