Don't be sorry, it was a very good video. I would say 10 times better than what Zeos made in his video about pads. BTW the longer I compare Zeos videos to other audio KZitemrs like yourself the more I came to a conclusion that while he is entertaining his videos are the worst in terms of actual information on sound signature. And you are one of the better source in that department so keep up the good work :)

I watch both and I still trust Zeos. If you need a quick idea of whether a pair headphones is good you just watch a bit of a Z review and then compare and contrast with other videos. Also if you have a pair of analytical headphones you can use the sound demos Z provides to compare them. Is it as good as being there with the headphones on your head? No, of course not but you can pick out characteristics of a headphone.

I saw your video before buying new pads for my edifier w820bt and I've chosen more thick hybrid ones (pu leather and velour) based on your opinion. Dude, it's exaclty as you described. Bass, comfort, less high peaks (for me this is awesome) and A LOT of details. It has totally changed the headphone sound. My experience with it is even better. Now I'm listening everything that I like again hahaha. Thanks a lot for the great content.

Regarding the depth of pads and its affect on bass, I had always assumed that deeper would provide more surface area to reinforce/amplify the bass, but with my HD650's, for example, I have found that bass increases (and I think treble actually decreases) as the pads get older and more compressed...so less deep. Also, I have experienced similar when I have tried pushing headphones onto my head, so that the drivers are nearer my ears. I know with closed backs this is sometimes because the seal improves, but I've also found it the case with already well sealed closed backs and with open backs. Having said all this, a slightly deeper/bigger set of pads with my K371's did increase bass.

Re Brainwavz XL fitted to AKG K5500 - likes: readily available, easy to fit, comfortable, good external sound exclusion. Dislikes: thicker than the originals. This moves the drivers further away from the ears and this affects the sound more than you might expect. Test by pressing the back of the headphones with your fingers which move the drivers closer to your ears. The sound changes a lot - warmer and more engaging to my ears, although the sound otherwise is acceptable. If AKG make the originals available again I will buy them, but these will do in the meantime.

There's this no name pad that I absolutely love. Standard oval shape but its so deep that it doesn't let the tip of my ear touch the headphone. Its also really cheap so you can buy them by the droves. Downside is because they're cheap, the material pleather easily sheds off overtime. Like, maybe half a year or something. I would say that the back end is two inches, the front is an inch. I use them on my HE400i, stretching them out so that they're round. I would like to find a similar earpad but rather than pleather, its some lasting material.

I got the HE4XX a couple of months ago, I love the sound but the stock pads get a bit sweaty. So I bought some suede zmf ori pads for them. I think it's lambskin suede because it's so soft. Turns out I'm not sure I like the change in sound. The ori pads took the edge off the highs, darkened the sound a bit and I didn't notice any increase in bass, just some slight muddiness. Also the ori pads hold the drivers slightly further from your ears which I'm sure affects clarity. I've actually put the stock pads back on. The ori pads can be for gaming because they're more comfortable over time.

Oh man. I'd like to reduce a little of high, and let some of the bass escape, reduce the boom on my Sony's. But I can't use fabrics, I tried something referred as "sport fabric" and "Ice Silk" and a few others I don't know the naming. So far they were all itchy, irritating or got hotter than the Pu Leather I have and genuine leather I've used. Any chance there's one that have airy,material on the whole pad and leather where it touch my skin? Maybe try perforated leather? I also haven't tried full velour, but pretty sure it'll make me hotter. Contrary to what everyone says about hot climate. I live in hot and humid climate. And run hot, produce lot of heat. And fuzzy materials, like velvet or fur, trap that heat. The silk ones are cool to the touch. But when I put them on, very quickly get heated up because of me. My protein leather ones, (the ones that came with my Sony's) don't feel cool normally, but they regulate the temperature better. They get warm but never bothersome. I have wear them for hours. Maybe I've just had very bad luck with the fabric ones I've tried. I mean, I've used polyester that was incredibly uncomfortable, while also some of my most comfortable clothes are or have polyester. Just like porous scruffy cotton vs smooth soft cotton. I think I'm gonna give Brainwavz perforated a chance.

I simply LOVE my Dekoni elite hybrid sound signature with DT1990s.. From stock pads I definitely preffered the Analytical ones , I found the Balanced losing too much detail for my taste especially in the mids.. Now Elite velour is even better in the lows and creates amazing quality bass while keeping end emphazising the mids a bit more and even a tad the highs creating an amazing sound signature.. I'm definitely not the most knowledgeable person but I'm almost certain that the Elite Velour is the perfect match for the DT1990..

Good stuff and something I've been hoping other people would've done or documented a long time ago. For the most part, I agree with your findings with the exception of the perforated leathers. From my experience, they tend to not decrease highs but increase clarity by reducing bass. However, this might be due to headphones I used (ad1000x, ad2000, w5000, argon mk3) and the make/brand (zmf auteur). I guess to further contribute to the conversation, I'll add my findings on other zmf types. Pleather (oval and eikons) tend to makes things more v-shaped, with the ovals having more violent (mid)bass. Suede (eikons) tend to increase and clean up bass while making highs less fatiguing. Cowhide (oval) follows suede sonic pattern but further warms up mids. The most interesting is sheepskin (universe) because I once had dekoni sheepskin th900. They follow your interpretation of how leathers affect sound, but the th900 pads muddied the mids a bit more. I'm really interested on what physical aspect of the pads led to this difference. If it's thickness of the sheepskin itself, then I fear the pad rabbit hole goes deeper than I thought it did.

dekoni sheepskin Th900 pads on AD1000x, AD2000, W5000, and argon mk3. I expected the muddiness with the open models given that it went from a more open pad to a closed one. The changes in the w5000 are a bit more confusing given that the dekoni pad follows the same shape and material as the stock pad with about double the thickness. The universe pad is the same material with about triple the thickness of the stock w5000 pad, but sounds sounds closer to stock than the dekoni pad (to my ears). I've no idea what properties involved result in more clarity.
@WildStyle

That is most certainly intriguing. You sure it's not placebo? There is still the materials inside, that may affect the sound. Since it is meant for TH900, maybe the pads by default have something to them. But don't think to hard about it, I have long since given up on understand how this all works, because in the end you are still confused about one or another aspect of thins hobby.

So, I know I am coming to the party a little late here, but; what would you suggest for something like a pair of headrush [hrf 581] headphones with rectangular earpieces? I have a pair that I want to fix up as a backup, since they still work beautifully, just the earpads are buggered.

Anyone have recommendations for pad swap on HE4XX? I tend to like vocals with still an enjoyable amount of bass. Was thinking of getting a sheepskin pad for them cause I like the feeling of the material in general but wonder how the different pads would affect the sound.

People are changing stock he4xx pads for ori lambskin or ori lambskin perforated. I personally have no knowledge about either of these yet but I'm probably gonna get the lambskin ori perforated. Then I could tell something but for now you can search the web for that info 😉

Will the Brainwavz Hybrid Memory Foam Earpad fit the senheiser pxc 550? Im looking for something that is a little more roomy than the stock pads, but that wont change the sound in a negative way. Great video btw!

Looking to replace my hd650 pads, leaning towards hybrid but people seem to favor the velour (which is cheaper) but I think hybrid might feel a bit better, both should be comfy though

from your experience would you recommend the hybrid pads for the DT1770's?

Hey mate, got replacement pads but the band connecting it is too large for my ATH-AD900x, should I look into returning OR should i just trim to fit? The round would fit if the connecting band was slightly smaller.

Hi Josh great interesting video, I been changing pads on my Senn hd660s1, and 6xx, I already fitted custom cans bass mod and fitted velour 1.25” thick pads on my 6xx, and thicker pads in 660s1and does sound a bit more bass, it’s interesting that I have old hd575 and that had 1.25” thick pads but as you know Senn are 3/4” pads as standard now .the pads I have already fitted made my headphones even more comfortable over the standard that sennheiser supplied. Regards mark

I wish Brainwavz would make an XL Round angled earpad in Microsuede. There's a hole in the market for this :(

How does AROUND EAR pads fit? I am new to over ear headphones. My new AKG K361 doesn`t fit the way I thought. I believed that in this kind of headphones the ear is totally IN the earpad cup, but my ears touch the inner walls of the pads and I think even the "driver" back panel in the ear cup. Is this normal or am I having a wrong fit betweeen my ears and the headphones? I have searched for bigger cup earpad ( wider and taller inner dimesions and deeper) and I have only found the Brainwavz earpdas which aren`t much bigger ( a bt wider, same heght and supossedly a bit deeper, although that counld change of the foam is not sturdy enough). Any help would be appreciated.
