Leather pads for HD650? - Page 2

post #16 of 22
personally, this is just my opinion.

I don't think the people at sennheiser are dumb people. When they are developing a product at even the level as the hd650s, I think they have materials such as leather and various plastics at their disposable and I am willing to bet that they made the headphones the way they are stock for a reason. There is probably a reason the foam is there, and there probably is a reason why they made the ear cups the way they are. Sure you can mod it and say that its better but then you're basically saying that your one opinion is better is than possibly thousands of R&D testers and the conclusion of the developers. Preference is one thing but it only goes a certain distance until its just absurd. The craziest thing is when people outfit hd650s with those wood grill covers... Like wth?

but then again I haven't heard the other side so just my 2c

You are probably right. However, the HE60's come with some fake leather so they would benefit from real leather in looks and durability. Sadly there are not that much around so if we can get a combined leather pad and some interest from HD600/650 users that would be wonderful. And since there is some market for those silly wood grills I'm sure there will be some people that want to try leather.

Cheapest I've found the regular pads for is £46, which seems ludicrous for a pair of foam thingies. Again, anyone know where to get them cheaper?

Try electrical tape (grado tape mod) around the foam pads edge to see what leather pads may sound like.

JMoney is willing to do the leather pads.
I created an 'official' dedicated Leatherpad run sign-up thread here

Like some others here, I'd be worried about the change to the inherent sound of the HD650 with different pads. Although, leather would definitely be nice from a comfort standpoint.
