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.

Nice earpads, delivered on schedule
I just received my new earpads and they fit perfectly on my SR80 headphones. They were packed nicely and arrived in about 1.5 months, which is right in line with what the shipping policy said to expect.
First class machining.
Very well made. Exactly what Grado should be installing from the factory on the higher end units. Well done!
Grado upgrade bundle.
Ordering was simple and straightforward.The components were beautifully made,and will give sterling service for years if not decades.The provision of spare parts is a lovely touch.Thoroughly recommended.
PS1000 go from unusable, to regular rotation
I am extremely happy with your Grado Comfort Headband assembly and ear pads. I have owned PS1000s for over a decade, but have made almost no use of them in the past 5 years, due to continually slipping rodblocks, and head/ear pressure points that developed very quickly from the stock setup.
Your headband assembly and ear pads were incredibly easy to install using your online guide. Taking my time, I spent about 20 minutes total on the project.
I was very impressed with the quality of the machining on the rodblocks and gimbals. The gimbals and grubscrews fit the speaker housings precisely, and the rodblocks easily held the housings at the exact length I preferred. The large "L" and "R" machined into the rodblocks also makes it easy to identify proper orientation in low/no light conditions.
I was even more impressed with your focus on the "little details". I believe very few companies would go to the trouble of including extra screws "just in case you drop one", or to include small replacement parts that "won't wear out for 8 years". The fact that you take the time to fill a small syringe with enough thread locker to complete the installation, and include it with the order, speaks volumes about your concern for the customer's experience. It was completely unexpected, and greatly appreciated.
The new headband and ear pads have almost completely eliminated any discomfort I had with the stock setup. I wore my improved headphones for 5 continuous hours last night. I was aware of their weight, but had no pressure points develop on my head or my ears. I also wasn't distracted by the need to repeatedly readjust the headband length. The cans stayed precisely where I put them.
Regarding sound changes: I've tried other "comfort" ear pads on my PS1000s in the past, only to note a significant loss of detail in all registers, and loss of sense of space. Your ear pads may be increasing my perception of bass a bit, but they are maintaining the detail throughout all registers, and preserving the sense of soundstage that I find so attractive in these headphones.
I would absolutely recommend your products to anyone thinking of buying. A small time and money investment has restored my ability to use and enjoy an expensive set of headphones that were "gathering dust".
Thank you very much!

Premium Quality
The quality of the product is awesome. Easy installation intructions. Delivery was quick and on time.
Rod blocks, gimbles, headband steel
Nyczaj upgrades for Grado headphones are simply of the highest craftsmanship and quality available anywhere at any price. I could not be happier with all of my purchases. Bravo!
Nice upgrade to my Grado headphones
I received the headphone earpad replacements for my Grado headphones in a timely manner. The earpads were well constructed and were easy to mount on the headphones. The new pads are far more comfortable and transform these headphones into an on-ear as opposed to over-ear configuration, which I much prefer. I don't detect much change in the sonic quality. The new pads just make this Grado headphone more comfortable to wear.
Just as good as it seems
It is always great to see when such a niche product more than delivers on its premise! The quality of the replacement headband and rodblocks is very good, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quick delivery and ease of installation as well.
This is not my first purchase
This is not my first purchase! Always produces an exceptional product at a reasonable price with outstanding service! Thanks!!
Superb!
Great products, enormously helpful, patient, knowledgeable seller, a thoroughly enjoyable experience. And no, I have never met the guy.
Quick and efficient delivery.
Excellent communication and service.
Excellent communication, A1 quality product and very nice people to deal with, very friendly:)
Event the B-stock is great!…
I bought the "b-stock" blocks & gimbals and I can't see why they didn't make the cut. They seem perfect.
I already had a set of previously purchased blocks, so I knew the great quality of Nyczaj's machining. But I needed to replace a broken OEM gimbal so I ordered these.
Highly recommended.
Excellent products and support
Ordered a pair of EP01 earpads and a pair of b-stock rod blocks for my Grado RS2e's which arrived promptly and hassle-free to Canada via FedEx. The earpads were in great condition and the rod blocks, despite being b-stock, were fully functional and still looked well made. These were ordered in separate orders made on separate days, but luckily Przem reached out personally and told me he would ship them in the same order, saving me from the additional shipping cost.
