tipsymcstaggersI certainly don't know any science behind it, but taller pads do tend to mess with bass. When I had HA-RX700's, I really didn't like how thin the pads were. The fix was to stuff padding behind/under the pads(no removal necessary). Doing so added to the bass, but at the time I liked that, plus they were significantly more comfortable...and if I recall they weren't too bass heavy to begin with. Also I believe partial or full leather tends to add/mess with bass as well, when going from full velour/cloth of some sort. Probably reverberation like you said.

tipsymcstaggerstipsy... I'll pay you $40 for your fenestrated pads if you want to unload them quick.

tipsymcstaggersAny follow up on how they sound on the 58x? I'm trying to figure out what pad to get for these.

tipsymcstaggersDid you try the pads on your 58X & what was the sound change? Would you recommend?

NOMNOMSorry ya'll, just saw these questions, have not had a chance to listen to them on the 58X yet. Honestly haven't even listened to the 58X at all since I got my HE4XX...easily my favorite headphone of the three (and I don't mean that as a slight to the 6XX or 58X at all, just enjoy the 4XX's that much).

tipsymcstaggersI had the HE-4XX and loved the sound and comfort of the pads, but couldn't handle the thin padding at the top (bald & pointy head, sigh). Traded them for 58x with Dekoni Sheepskin , I highly recommend those pads for 58x. Still love the HE-4XX though, I miss them now.

I should mention that the build quality is EXCELLENT, and really wanted these to work because I do like how they push the drivers further away from my ears...but maybe that's what causing the bass issue, more area for the sound to bounce around in? I'll probably hold on to them until the HD58x arrives and see how they sound on those, but definitely not my cup of tea on the HD6xx.
