I was very nervous changing the pads because, like you, I did not want to ruin their sound just for comfort. I've been using them for a solid 5 hours with them today and noticed a slight sibilance/increases brightness (oddly enough?) when i first had the pads on when they were vertical. I then...

.   FINALLY, I got the HM5 pads. Wow what a difference. My ears barely touch the driver and I am  able to enjoy these cans so much more. Easier to get a nice seal and I noticed a big difference in isolation. I did not notice a difference in sound. Do they look as sleek/portable as the stock...

My case came today!     Tight fit but it works (: I barely move my headphones from my desk, but when I do, I feel better throwing these in my backpack.     http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YONZEG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I will post pictures when it arrives (should be Tuesday)!

Hey everyone,    Looking for a case for my K545's! What does everyone think of these? I do not need anything fancy, just something to carry them around in my backback. Will it fit?   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YONZEG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1   or would this one...

How do they feel and sound with the HM5 pads? 

@midnigh: I'm hitting the 2-3 hour mark before my ears hurt because they rub on the drivers (I have big ears). Diameter of the inner cup is great, it's the depth if the cup I have trouble with. I bought the Brainwavz HM50's pads to alleviate this issue. These are my form room cans so I don't...

I agree with grizzly, I never thought the bluetooth variant performed as well as standard sets (I have tried Harmon's BT, Jabra's Revo, my friends wireless beats, not the 845's though). It always felt something was missing in the details. The K545 is just pure audio, no real bells and whistles...

Bought the HM5 pads, should be here 10-30 days (damn). I'll report back to see if sound changes from them.

Anyone know if the HM5 are deeper than the stock pads? After hour 3, my ears start to get irritated by the stock pads. Did anyone notice the sound quality decrease using the HM5 pads?

Dweaver, the song sounds wonderful!   Anything by Keaton Henson with these became such a moving heart felt experience. Featherstone by The Paper Kites is another treat as well.

My set came today! What an experience. Here are my initial impressions:   I got the all black set (if anyone wants specific shots, let me know). What a beautiful set of headphones. Classy and refined while retaining bold quality to it. It's funny, I always associated good looking headphones...

Plain black, if anyone wants specific shots, I'll take em once they come in!
