I bought the carbon/composite headband with pads, only because the original Grado assembly broke. And I’m happy I did. Significant upgrade to the original cheap and fragile Grado stuff indeed. Feels l... See more

Nyczaj: Quality Grado Mods and Parts Welcome to Nyczaj, where the focus is on crafting practical and comfortable upgrades for Grado headphones enthusiasts. Specializing in Grado mods, I offer a selection of parts including soft earpads, durable aluminum gimbals, and handcrafted leather headbands that aim to improve the listening experience in a tangible way. My parts are designed with the user in mind, ensuring that they not only enhance the comfort of your Grado headphones but also support their lasting performance. I take pride in designing and creating mods that Grado owners can appreciate for their functionality and ease of use. For those who love their Grado headphones and are looking for a way to make them even more enjoyable, my products like the memory foam earpads offer additional comfort for long listening sessions. The aluminum gimbals and rodblocks provide a sturdier and more adjustable alternative to stock parts, while the leather headbands add a touch of handcrafted quality. Each piece is created with attention to detail and a commitment to providing a good fit for a variety of Grado models. I enjoy the process of making these parts and hope they help you get even more pleasure from your headphones.

SR325x + Nyczaj pads
I was looking to reduce the sharpness of my SR325x without losing the Grado character – these Nyczaj pads did exactly that. More comfort, more balance, more music. Perfect match.
Your Grados deserve this!
So I wanted to review the product I purchased on nyczaj.audio, because this headband and aluminum yoke assembly are fantastic. I bought this for my Grado SR325X and honestly it's a bit pricey, I don't think it's worth the cost for the Grado plastic headphones. But man! It is definitely worth it for the higher end lines. If I worked for Grado, I would be calling this guy up, and making a deal! The craftsmanship of this yoke assembly is top shelf. The cushioned leather headband is so well made and comfortable! He's a small shop and everything is made by hand. This is what your higher end Grado headphones deserve. I paired this with a set of Dekoni fenestrated leather ear pads and the look is stunning! The comfort is through the roof. These headphones are now among my favorites. This guy is in Poland (I think), so it takes a while. Be patient! Ha! It's worth the wait. I'll be getting another one in black for my Grado Hemps. I highly recommend nyczaj.audio (not even sure how to pronounce his name!) I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Check him out if you're a Grado owner.
Outstanding product
Outstanding product. Very comfortable for longer listening. The pads also improved the sound.
The site is very informative

The headphone pads are next level and…
The headphone pads are next level and finally solve my Grado’s issue of the OEM replacement pads degrading into powdery, black residue over time. These pads are a necessary upgrade—a 100% improvement. Turnaround time and shipping were fast to the US, given the new tariff restrictions.
Grado GH2 Replacement Earpads Review
I ordered these earpads to replace my worn-out original Grado GH2 pads, and after daily use for over a month, I'm extremely satisfied.
Comfort & Build Quality
The earpads are soft, well-constructed, and easy to install. Unlike the originals that sit on top of your ears, these cup around them, allowing me to wear my headphones comfortably for extended periods. The original pads were uncomfortable on my ears, so this is a significant improvement.
Sound Quality
The new earpads enhance the listening experience with better bass definition and slightly more even mids, while preserving the bright highs that Grados are known for. The fabric construction also provides excellent noise isolation.
Customer Service & Shipping
Nyczaj's communication was outstanding—they kept me informed throughout the process and responded to emails promptly. Despite being custom-made and shipped from Poland to the USA, delivery was surprisingly quick.
Bottom Line
These earpads are a worthy upgrade and a lifesaver. I searched everywhere for quality replacements, and these exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!
Completely changes the SR325x
Completely changes the SR325x! Not only does it become so comfortable but the sound is upgraded significantly
Exceptionally well made equipment
Exceptionally well made equipment, designed with thought. Plus, great customer service. Definitely recommended.
I have purchased from Przem before and…
I have purchased from Przem before and will continue to do so because he does high quality work for a very fair price. Most recently, I bought two sets of earpads for my Grado RS1x and GS3000x and they are quite a bit more comfortable than the stock pads and keep the majority of the Grado sound signature intact. I do find that I like them on the RS1x even more so than on the GS3000x which still sound really good.
The quality of the product is great!
The quality of the product is great!
Though, it was pretty frustrating how long I had to wait with the delays, but it was worth the wait.

Great communication and an all around honest broker. I upgraded my SR225x with ear pads and aluminum blocks. Love them and they feel and sound amazing. Great upgrade. Thank you!!
Finally my Grados are Happy
I bought ear pads and a headband, they are a major improvement over the Grado products. The ear pads are well made and far more comfortable than the stock Grado pads. I've tried both the G and L styles, the Nyczaj style is far superior. A bit of a hybrid of both types. I can't put a finger on the sound difference, maybe there isn't one and my ears are just happier with the better fitting pads. Shipping was as expected to the USA. Well done!
Perfectly crafted product …
Perfectly crafted product that perfectly replaces the original headband and gimbals which are plastic and shitty.
Price-performance ratio 11 out of 10.
Earpads-Big improvement!!!
The Nyczaj earpads are a marked improvement over the stock Grado earpads in every area of sound presentation... Old set of RS-1's...New life...Fun
Very happy with the products.
Great customer service, quick shipping (for something travelling thousands of miles), and nice products.
Would purchase from again.
Excellent service
Excellent service, managed expectations about timescales very well, good product.
