modded hd414 pads: what went wrong?

[xyz]

besides the terrible circle job, is there something i did wrong here? i ask because it pushes the drivers right against my ears making it quite uncomfortable. is that correct? if so, how can you stand it?

Have you tried turning them around so the hole you cut is now the mounting hole? That would put the thicker pad material next to your ear.

yep, that is called the "Reverse VWAP" and my preferred way too.

Yeah, the idea is to have them on back to front from the way they would be on a 414 I think.
