Title: greatly improved my SR80i headphones
Product review: The old SR80 headphones used to come with the L-Cush pads. When I recently got my SR80i headphones, I initially thought the S-Cush pads on them might be better. Not! They press too hard on my external ear, specifically on the "tragus," the bit of cartilage that sticks out in front of the ear canal. For some reason, I find that to be simply unbearable. The L-Cush pads solve that problem: they distribute pressure to the outside of the ear (the helix and lobule). I think the sound is improved also, since the drivers are a bit farther away. I did a variation of the "Shack Mod" [...]. I didn't bother to punch holes in the added foam. Result: drastically increased comfort. Now they just get a bit itchy on the top of my ear (the helix), but that's vastly preferable to the burning sensation/pain I used to get from them pushing on the tragus. YMMV, but so far so good for me.
