First day trying Diana V2 on the Feliks Echo MK II.

Match made in heaven. Super punchy & dynamic. Just enough added note weight to give the Diana an interesting flavour.

IMO the bass ported headphones are such a great improvement. I honestly cant even go back to the non ported pads anymore it just feels like somethings missing.
I ordered the Dekoni pads so those are on their way to me. I'm thinking about getting the Bass Ported pads but they're super expensive.

I concur with F1x1on.
Yes, the cost of the ported pads is high but, IMHO, the difference in the sound from the stock pads is worth it. While I have not tried the Dekoni pads, I do fear if I bought those, I would just keep going back the ported pads.
Regardless, it always great to have pad options at hand.
I have seen the ported pads in the classifieds here before. So keep your eyes open.
Cheers

Will do. I'll probably buy them anyways. I'm an unabashed basshead and I think the Diana V2 would sound perfect with just a slight lift in the bass.

I agree the price is pretty high for them. For me I was actually about to buy a new set of stock pads because after daily driving the stock pads for 8-10 hours a day it was getting the point where I wanted to spend some time to clean up the leather but I wanted another set. When I went on vacation I lent my audio setup to a friend and they said they tried the stock pads and then the ported and was astounded how good they are ported. For me I had always adjusted my pads so I had a slight gap under my ear but it would some times seal and just wasn't reliable. Another benefit I found was before when I had a seal some times I could hear the driver flex if I accidentally bump the headphones due to the air pressure. Now with the ported pads that doesn't happen.

Bass Portet Abyss Dekoni Pads. I'm really very happy with the result. The best of both worlds combined

I'm looking to have a cable built for the Diana.

I need a 4.4mm option as mine shipped with XLR. Anyone know a cable manufacturer that has the Diana connectors?

I like the Danacable Lazuli Ultra with the Diana. I’m still comparing with the superconductor. But right now I think it may have it beat.
