Such a thing exist? I've oily skin and the standard ones get gunky. Would love to find some in leather or faux leather, pref. here in the EU.

But that's most likely going to have a major effect on the sound. Do you like the sound as it is?

 

[Morten]

Really? I think I'm actually at the point where I'll risk it just for the sake of being able to clean them properly.

What are the cans in your sig btw.?

 

[DefectiveAudioComponent]

Yes. I'd guess that you would get more bass / less headstage. And maybe other effects too. (I have not tried it though on a HD650, and not on my HD580 either. But I've tried it on other headphones.)

That's the Pioneer Monitor 10 in my picture.

I don't know, but this thread caught my eye a while ago. Perhaps it's of use to you.

 

[Morten]

Okay, thanks a lot. Meanwhile, where's the cheapest place to get the regular replacement pads in the EU?

Maybe you could try to order directly from Sennheiser. Else you could try Meier Audio, which is a sponsor of Head-fi.

no... HD650 pads are the same size as the HE60 pads, and those are reportedly smaller than the HE90...

in short: they won't fit. Now if we could get enough people together to get a run on leather HE60/HD650 pads I'd be in

That would be awesome. There ought to be many other HD650 users with this need.

im only quoting because i find it hard to find another dan deacon fan anywhere

cheers

Dan Deacon happens to sound exceptionally good through the Audeze LCD-1.

Keeping to the topic, the LCD-1 also have fabric pads, like the HD6XX Sennheiser line. Switching to thinner softer leather pads (just to test the theory) resulted in a dramatic increase in bass.

I know HE90 pads won't fit, it's the info about the guy who makes custom leather earpads that could be of use.

HE60/HD650 pads are different. I tried to exchange them but while they are the same size, the plastic clip-in that actually secures it to the rest of the headphone is different.

Too bad really, I so want real leather pads

...
I'll shoot a PM to fatman711 and see what possibilities there are. Meanwhile, it'd be useful for anyone interested in leather HD580/600/650 or HE60 pads to just post here
