Grado Question


morphsci

Recommended Posts

I know we do not discuss headphones much anymore but I have question for the Grado experts. I have to replace the pads on a couple of my Grados (actually one is an Alessandro) due to the infamous pad disintegration issue. There is some residue on the wooden cups that I would like to clean off. It is pretty clean just using a soft cloth and soft brush but there is some residue that I would like to remove without harming the finish. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Bryan is correct - mineral oil is what’s recommended, at least for the wooden cupped headphones. 
 

EDIT: the stuff is pretty viscous and goopy, start with a small amount on say a q tip and just work it through slowly.

Plus one for linseed oil soap. Just used some today and it will not leave residue like mineral oil.

Oh, and I should say that I came across linseed oil soap because Doug recommended some other linseed oil products for a project awhile back. Linseed oil wax is also very nice, if you want to give the wooden cups some new life. 🙂
