If you want authoritative, reliable recommendations, you should just look at the "Wall of Fame" selection at Inner Fidelity:

Hi m17xr2b, can I ask where you got the aftermarket leather earpads?  Mine are up for a change and some leather ones would be nice.

 

Thanks.

Im looking at the 380 as a possible purchase, it seems it can be had for around $170 from amazon at the moment, anyone else care to chime in with their experiences as well as what their driving it with ?  I would also be interested to hear about the leather pads m17xr2b mentioned

I got the pads from:

I think they apply a little more pressure than standard pads but overall it was a good investment. Replacing them is not easy, you have to be patient.

Thanks heaps, m17xr2b!  My earpads are down to the velour cushioning (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and these will do me great.

This is how the pads look on the headphones

Thanks for the reply, the pads as described in the ad are made from a so called " 3rd generation ULTRCUSHION material " , im curious if that is in fact a synthetic leather ?

They look good.  How do you find them comfortwise compared to the original ones?
