AudiowalkerI ordered Elite Velour round Jan 2018, because I think Velour match HD800 better.
To be honest, I don't like it, I am sorry to say but it looks some kind of cheap, easy to install, but the sound is muffled, and it leaks sound. I try to separate the pads, and yes, you are right, the quality is so poor and outside of the skin just get damaged. I am very careful, I did't even use my strength. but It has a hole now, I am scared to continue so I decided to leave my HD800 alone. Now I can't remove it and it sounds bad compare to stock pads. It is not a good experience.

baiyy1986I agree with your assessment. The build quality isn't great on these, and I'm not pleased at all with the sound. These pads seem to diminish the air of the HD800 significantly, making them just ... mediocre sounding.

baiyy1986It sounds like you may need to take your stock dust covers out before installing the pads. Or, an alternative would be to cut the screen off the dekoni velour earpads and leave the stock dust cover in. I did the latter after trying both ways and I feel the stock dust cover handles reflections in the cup so imaging isn't defused with these pads. I have the elite velour pads also.

This is where the fun or “frustration” began. I was able to separate the FS pad from the ear cup with the tool again, yet I was unable to remove it completely because of fear to damaging anything. The FS pad was firmly installed in most of the earcup. Luckily, the space between the earcup and pad was big enough for me to use a pair of tweezers to remove the original dust covers. In addition, the tips of my fingers were black from the dye - hum, quality control issues???? The removal tool is pretty beat up too.
The sad part is I purchased two earpads to try and now I am not sure if I should try again to remove the FS and install the hybrid.
I have a HD 800s. Has anyone else experience the same issue? And yes, there is a slight chemical smell. Good luck. Not sure if I would recommend these if this difficult to remove until resolved.
Cheers!
