TrofeoThese are the pads I use. They are way better than the stock pads. Although if you ever planned on wearing these out in public you may rethink that with these pads. They're huge and make them look pretty funny on your head.
solBLACKHow's the bass and soundstage? And how's the seal?
My HM5 pads are comfy, but I still can't get a perfect seal because of how huge the cups are. And the slight loss in bass rustles my jimmies.
ext3rNIf anything I noticed a little more bass with these pads and the seal is great. I had a hard time getting a seal with the stock pads and if I moved my head at all I'd lose it. These pads I just put the headphones on my head and go with the flow. For $22 they are well worth it imo.
solBLACKThanks. Sounds tempting, but I better stop myself from searching for the best pads. This hobby can really drain your wallet if you don't draw a line.
