the Ultrasone pads with the 780 especially, are terrible. The head pad is too narrow, hard and it knifes your head. The earpads are a joke. Too hard, way too hard. No give and they irritate your skin quickly.
I am getting 250 pads and using a large flat piece of memory foam in place of the head pad. That alone has made a world of difference.
Ultrasone, your drivers can be wonderful. My ALO 780s are amazing sounding for a closed dynamic. Your use of that CRAPPY design for the rest of the can is reprehensible. A completely new, comfort focused design is entirely warranted asap.
