If you want non-stock 6XX pads you pretty much have to get in on this drop. Good luck finding pads for them anywhere else. I’m waiting for reviews of these to see how they change the sound considering that the 600 line is the least pad rolled headphones ever.

CokemanI'd really like to get these, if just for comfort, but am also hesitant to order without some input as to whether and how the various versions alter the sound signature. I assume these will be dropping again if I pass this drop.

MarloweI agree with you 100% I am doing the same. There’s a reason that virtually no different pads exist for the 600 line, because everyone knows that anything but stock destroys the sound signature. But since these are new we will see.

CokemanThere's been some educated speculation on these pads on SBAF; no one has actually heard them although some posters are attempting to get samples or measurements from Dekoni. (I get a lot of useful information from SBAF, though I find the active posters as a whole to be an extremely unpleasant and pompous bunch. I've only posted there a couple of times. In part, i don't have much to add to many threads, their ears are a lot more educated than mine, and in part I'm genuinely afraid--I've seen what they do to people whose opinions they don't like.)

Cokeman I'm jumping in for the velour pads. Cheaper than Senn pads so worth a try. I look at it this way. A lot of people use their old worn out senn pads which slightly effects sound. The velours here shouldn't wear down as easy because its apparently higher quality foam. Meaning these velour pads should be similar or the same sounding as a particular time of wear on the senn pads. At least that's my logic and what I'm hoping for lol. Not sure if dekoni velours will be firmer, or softer, as I haven't tried either stock or dekoni pads. Hopefully it's in the middle and is equivalent to half worn out senn pads as that's ideal.
EDIT: Just read from dekoni below that these pads are deeper than Senn pads. No measurements posted, but maybe they crush down enough to emulate senn pads.
datyetiThe memory foam is quite dense and form fits well, as its the same foam as in all of our other premium models of ear pad. The depth in general helps with low frequency response as your ear is not right up against the driver, which is one of the inherent problems in the HD series headphones.
