anyone try these or have pictures? tried a search on google and came up with nothing.

i'm wondering if they are worth getting - i would assume they can be put on the k240's also? or am i wrong?

The headphile black velour pads are just beyerdynamic pads dyed black. They fit the K240/K270.

 


AKG has it's own velour pads btw.

I haven't done any detailed comparisons but the AKG pads are flatter than the Beyer pads. The Beyer pads are more comfy.

Here a picture of mine :

From top to bottom :

 

AKG velour pads : the best sound and coherency but at the expense of soundstage,good isolation, sound claustrophobic but immersive. comfortable like a pillow.

 

AKG pleather pads : horrible to wear, painful after 5 minutes, the discomfort is too much for me. lacking bass also

 

Headphile pads : airy and more comfortable (more place for ears) sound more natural as the pads let the sound come out but lacking body, sound like there is drilled holes on the headphone (semi-open) IMO it is better to buy a real open headphone.

 

You can guess the sound by looking the pads due to acoustic laws.

The little pain that you feel after a few minutes with the pleather pad are just so annoying...
