My experience with Grados (purchased from the dealer in Austin BTW) is
that the replacement foam earpieces are much more comfortable than the
original earpieces. You will still want to try them for yourself, but if
you like how they sound, you might be able to make them more
comfortable.

The original foam is quite dense; the replacements are more like what
you'd expect from other brands of open-ear foam-padded headphones.

Agree. The original Grado ear pieces are quite horrible and don't do
the phones justice. That's where the Senns really score, in comfort,
though even there some people complain of a clamping effect. You
really need to try them.
