Ordered the Elite Hybrid pads for the AKG K7XX. Primary reason why I wanted to get a replacement set of pads was because my ears touched the insides of the cups (not uncomfortable), and I thought that the headphones might sound better with some more space between my ears and the drivers. Early impressions (need more time to wrap my head around what I'm hearing exactly):
  • I'm using more volume on the pot of my amp. Probably due to the increased space in between my ear and the drivers.
  • Still retains about 95% of the open and airy feel of these headphones.
  • Treble sounds a little more relaxed. In particular, metallic percussion hits seem smoother.
  • Bass levels are brought down a bit. However, the overall impact of the bass seems unchanged. It still extends reasonably well and sounds tight and controlled, just like stock.
  • Due to the above two things, the mids are ever so slightly more forward. I rather like this, as I always felt that the vocals on these headphones felt recessed in the mix.
Conclusion in terms of sound, the headphone sounds more relaxed. I will say that I already like the K7XX more with the hybrid pads. In terms of fit, the pads are just as easy to install as the stock pads.
