You're only going to need a little bit, so you can get by with the smallest they offer, which is a pack of 2 door sheets (which will still be way too much!). You can get it on Amazon. Extreme for $16, Original for $9.50. Order some more stuff to get your total above $25, and your shipping is free.

I'd imagine that the Original would be fine for the magnet. And as far as the back of the cup is concerned, I'm really not sure which would be best. It seems that you would want the frequencies to be absorbed as much as possible to recreate spacial cues accurately (which these headphones do extremely well). If that's true, the Original would be better. If you want the frequencies to be reflected, the Extreme would be better. I'm just not certain about the theory behind this (I'd imagine that absorption would be better, though, if I had to guess).


Edit: not "door sheets", but "speaker kits"
