I recently bought the J$ Pads from Head-fi after a long search for them (almost 5 months!) – I finally managed to nab a pair for a reasonable price of £40. Might seem a lot for just pads, and I agree, but I wanted that added comfort.

I bought the ASG-1’s mainly due to the hype that was at Head-fi I guess I was looking for something professional, and something to try that would be different.
I had a really pleasant experience buying, as I bought my ASG-1’s from SpringTree and was in communication with the director of the company of Aurisonics, Dale.
Both Matt from SpringTree, and Dale at Aurisonics, made my purchase a really friendly one. So I feel that I had to just mention both Matt and Dale in this review, as if it weren’t for their professionalism, I would have not been as keen in receiving my ASG-1’s.
