Which version do you have? The Carbons?

No, I'm happy with the YAXI. Eventually I may ship them out to Vesper Audio and have sheepskin pads made in their likeness if they start flaking.

Exciting to see someone making sheepskin pads that fit the Wp900, but those look way too thick and the inner dimensions look like they would feel more on-ear than circumaural. Hopefully I'm wrong

I'm curious if your original pads were flaking or not? Or did you just want backup pads

When you take them off your head you don't have to flip them over just lay them on your desk with the pads facing down, and the headband pointing towards you

So that when you take them off and drape them around your neck the wooden cups face outward. I suppose they could have made the cups swivel both ways, but perhaps that would put unnecessary stress on the inner wiring.

I made it out of a GoPro camera case. I used foam core sheets, an X-acto knife, and black bridal fabric to make the interior that holds the headphones. The exterior is the GoPro case shell.

Count me amongst the people who think they're built really well. I think the fact that they're light weight makes some think they don't feel sturdy perhaps. The lightness of them and the perfect fit of the headband is something I would never want changed, because it makes them so comfortable and...

While I haven't haven't experienced any problems, I'm not going to try and find out. I would imagine after plugging and unplugging them hundreds of times the connectors would get loose. Maybe not? I leave my headphone cables plugged in, unless I want to actually change them which of course I did...

No it's really easy. I'm just a little bit crazy I guess. I just don't see the point in unplugging them if I don't have to. What's really worth noting is that they don't come with a hard case at all.

I hated unplugging the cables just to put the headphones in their case, so I made a larger case to accommodate the jacks.

They change the sound just a little. The main advantage is more space for your ear, better comfort. The soundstage is slightly wider and the mids are brought out a bit. Better bass as well. I bought them for better comfort

I ordered mine from Amazon Japan and they arrived in 3 days via DHL to the United States

There are no issues at all, but the pads are actually oval. Very close to round though. Once you put them on the wp900, they look round

The difference is from the YAXI stpad2 earpads. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/gp/aw/d/B074X468CH?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
