Hey guys!
So I was looking for a replacement for the original stock Velvet/Velour Earpads.
The "membrane"(well its almost that thin so I find this term appropriate) which separates your ears from the titanium drivers is just so thin that you pretty much end up pushing against the driver with your ear, resulting (sooner or later) in a good deal of discomfort.
Also due to the softness and thinness of the pads, they leak plenty of sound which is not helping in any way either.
Since the JMoney, the most popular aftermarket Denon earpad maker doesnt seem to be around anymore, I was looking for an alternative.
The Lawton earpads seem to be almost identical to the JMoney pads (down to some minor differences)
Namely Im looking at the Denon angle pads (v1.2 I think?) (http://www.lawtonaudio.com/page10.html) which I was planning to hot glue on a spare pair of the stock pads which came with the package. This is done by striping off the spare cup (cushion) off the plastic circular base which holds it in place and then hot gluing the Denom pads on this very base.
The credit goes to Colmustard (here are the instructions more thoroughly detailed (http://www.head-fi.org/t/527451/ultrasone-pro-900-appreciation-thread/840#post_7394842)) as it was all his idea (or so I believe).
So my question is this:
Are the Lawton lambskin pads the exact same as the JMoney pads?
In other words, will it work the same way or will it work at all?
Has anybody tried these specific pads?
To my knowledge, in terms of construction it is almost identical so in theory, it should offer the same sound characteristics and advantages/disadvantages as the original JMoney pads did?
I would very much like a confirmation that this is indeed the case before I order, to make sure it is 100 bucks well spent (hopefully :-S)
Thanks for your help, guys!
