Can someone whose S500's decided to start chipping post a pic too? Maybe someone for whom it's gotten really bad. Old soldier.

Woah, I didn't know the pleathers cam in blue! I thought that was only the velours for some reason. Where can I find them?

 
This is the cheapest I could find them:

If you need help getting them on, let me know. Took me over an hour...

Could any of you post a screenshot of your foobar equalizer settings when you use these phones? 
 
Here's mine:
 
 

 
I set it this way after following a hearing test to see what was missing.

I really like how those look. How do they affect the sound signature?

Oh cruel fate. I bought the black ones just because I thought the gun metals looked chintzy. Ah well. These aren't a fashion statement!

I would appreciate it If you could tell exactly how many db's you've lowered for each frequency. Kinda hard doing it just by looking at that pic

 

[Huggelz]

Just ordered a pair and I can't wait to hear them!
 
Let the waiting game begin.

Here... I uploaded the preset for you:
 
https://mega.co.nz/#!eoZSmIwZ!TI-WYQ3lECNeRdPxOcU3PQgZ5HZCdKe-Sfae5igoUZk (updated)
 
You have to put that in your Equalizer folder for foobar (ie. C:\Program Files (x86)\foobar2000\Equalizer Presets)
 
I made this preset by taking the Digital Recordings hearing test. If you don't like how it sounds, I recommend taking the test. To be honest, I'm gonna do it again...I think the mids are too recessed.

Nice job Syndicat3!
Keep us updated with your refinements, and to which pads they are for.

Is the consensus that these sound better with the WS55 instead of HM5 or stock?
