I'm going to test Pleather/Velour sonic difference when I return home tonight.
 
and DT1770's stock Pleather earpads (comes along with Velour ones in the package) are very high quality and comfortable. they are made of new P leather material, and softer than EDT770S (DT 770's pleather earpad).
I'm very fond of those new Pleather earpads because real leather ones (such as T5p's) require proper care and I'm bit nervous for it.

Beyer says leatherette. But the pads of the T1/T5p will fit for sure. They might alter the sound though.

How do these compare to the T5p - a 'phone I wanted to love but just didn't get on with, I couldn't get an acceptable (i.e. a T1) level of bass out of it...

Now, its price is officially 599 USD on Amazon... 
 
2nd generation T1 is 1k.

Please don't compare T70 with the rest of the T series. T70 is probably a waste of buyer's time to include in the line-up. It has one of the harshest, unpleasant presentation of music.
T90 is not a moderate upgrade, it is a significant leap over T70. That is how bad T70 is to my ears, IMHO, YMMV, etc.

 
Obviously you belong to the "majority" group who can never get good sealing with the T70 shallow pads/cups. I belongs to the "minority" group who have small/flat ears which I can get good pad sealing with the T70. With good pad sealing the T70 is never overly harsh, though I do use EQ to tune down the ringing and high treble peak a bit...

I noticed perceptible difference between velour pads and pleather pads on DT1770.
Specifically, bass amount and punch increase on pleather, treble amount increases on velour.
I wrote DT1770 is not an upgrade of DT770 but DT150 on some post, but now I have to revise my opinion.
That is:
--DT1770 with velour pads is similar to DT770 in tonal balance
--DT1770 with pleather pads is similar to DT150 in tonal balance
or:
If you like relatively flat sound or dislike too much bass - use velour
If you like relatively base heavy sound - use pleather

Just read on Amazon it's a mini-xlr. 
 
Can the pads be easily replaced with something like the Alpha pads from Mr Speakers?

It is a cable like on the AKG K702, no standard 3.5.  The pads can be replaced with all pads that fit older Beyer headphones, it is the same mount as since forever and a day.

Btw. got it, love it! This is the no BS. headphone that I was looking for since long. Nuff said for now.

I disagree - say more!

Ok, it runs perfectly from my EU volume capped SONY ZX1 and even from my Sony A15. Will run it from my amps later.

Amazon is sold out on DT 1770.

@beyerlove Thanks for the impressions! Seems like velours are a good choice for me.
