If this question was put to a vote, or poll, I would say "No." The stock driver paper works the best for me. Transpore is the best replacement that I have found if used with the proper combination of mods. Materials I have tried but did not work as well include: wool, stiff and limp felt, Micropore, J&J Secure Comfort tape, dryer sheets, coffee filters, thinly sliced melamine, and various foams.
IMO, the white driver paper is your friend. Note that there are at least 2 types of driver paper that require adjustments to your mod configuration: fibrous more porous paper vs. less porous translucent paper - and they may not be consistent to Old Stock and New Stock.
The stock paper looks like cigarette paper impregnated with something..
Bent the headband and done suspension mod using stock earpads as padding. Indeed more comfortable, though requires some adjustment after putting phones on head. I had no problems with stock in terms of comfort though. What came as positive surprise is improved sound, probably due to better seal, which makes both sides more equal.
