From sweat and oxidation.

i thought venus is for food products? if its for food, it will be color-fast and will dye your ears violet... or pink... or rainbow.

ask your local parlorista for some good brands of hair dyes that dont wash off...
MOE MOE... wait for it... KYUN!

For the Hd414 pads? John Victor mentioned on one of oir meets he did so and got dark bron color instead. I got him a pair of pure black hd414 pads last month. Maybe you may instead want someone visiting jaben to get back pads also.
And if i remember correctly, dyeing the pads will affect the sq, i mean according to John Victor still.

Does the 414 pads retain the forwardness and clarity provided bythe L-Cush but offers more comfort?

Hi all,

Any idea where I can get something like the Grado G Cush on the Internet at a good price? Unoriginal Grado is also ok as long as it can last and don't turn wet mashmallow.

Thanks.

Hello guys! Got got my grado yesterday. did a reversed quarter mod and added on my old Philips HP200 pads.
THese are not yet fully burned in,  but so far so good. They're more comfortable to wear than just the plain Comfies on.
