Is there any way we can buy mt8 earpads separately ? I'd love to try them on my mt220.

New theme is an absolute nightmare.. Why ruin a perfectly functioning website? Please bring back the old theme.

May be mt5 mt8 series pads might have same characteristics. Not sure. Still they might not be selling them separately ? http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/headphones/hphmt/

I already contacted Yamaha on this but since these headphones are discontinued they're not much helpful other than willing to replace them with the current model of the headphone.

    Yep. Standatd hm5 pads are too thick imo too.  That's also the main reason why I ended up getting those cheap m50 pads like you.  Good thing is, since those pads are not expensive like sheepskin or any other Brainwavz pads you can throw them away without much frustration if you don't like...

I've also tried many of those cheap m50 pads but with those pads soundstage got congested big time and low end became too muddy and boomy..

Honestly I haven't found any good replacement pads for these either and my pads pleather layer weared off sometime ago. So what I did was removed the pleather layer completely and tried the naked yammie pads. But unfortunately without the pleather layer, sound signature became too thin and...

Honestly I think the midrange. 612pro's beautiful neutral midrange is the star. It's definitely one of the best open neutral all-rounders you can buy without a single doubt, specifically for that stellar price. Don't get me wrong, 612 might not be a detail monster but I prefer it's midrange even...

  Yes. It completely ruins yammie's sound signature and making it too airy and bright... But if you can use some kind of sellotape around the pads to isolate the sound, then the bass will become more prominent and sound signature will become way less bright and airy.. Not sure that mod would...

    I have 612pro. It's a great neutral all rounder. If you are into mid-centric music, its a fantastic option with great linear bass extension.  But for modern edm music genres, it doesn't have the speed or attack like mt220...    

 

    phenomenal bass texture with the stock pads. sometimes it's so frightening, like with this track....       speed and attack are my other two favorite aspects of the yammies. sooo impressive and heartstopping.....  

  Yep. that's Yamaha HPH-MT220.  It's mostly made out of plastic, but very sturdy.  Stock pleather pads are very comfortable, but too bad they're not selling them separately.

  Didn't know those pads are that huge.. Anyway I wished Brainwavz had some shallower hybrid pads similar to those.   

I'm not a big fan of deeper pads. They'll often reduce the mid-range. Had the same issue with Brainwavz hybrid pads with Yammies.    I think HE1000 UltraPad could sound great with Yammies, but not sure they'd fit well since they have an odd shaped oval design. And they are really expensive as...

  Do you have a link for that sheep leather pads ? I'd love to try those.     p.s: you were mentioning these pads right ? http://www.brainwavzaudio.com/products/headphone-memory-foam-earpads-sheep-skin

    Actually they are really comfortable. Pads are really soft and may be more softer than 1R pads, but more shallower.  

MT220 is perfect for electronic genres imo.   "Clean hard hitting bass with ample sub bass that does not drown out the mids ands highs" =  CHECK "Bass slam" =  CHECK.. excellent with superb attack "Highs need to be clean and non-sibilant" = CHECK

    Yammie's sound signature can be dramatically changed depends on the earpads you use. Stock pleather pads will usually give you a fuller presentation for the low end but that doesn't make the bass texture muddy at all. May be little less textured because of that fuller bass presentation.   ...

    Remove that deteriorated sponges asap because those tiny deteriorated sponge parts can get in to the driver... and get a pair of Brainwavz hm5 pads. If you like velour and want more isolation then get Brainwavz hybrid pads.. or get one of their velour earpads if you don't want any...

 

yes. velour pads will suck out the bass response quite a bit and make it more airy and treble will also be brighter. I had the same issue with my stock naked velour pads. that's why I modded it. but to me hybrid pads are not perfect either. despite the excellent bass response, it will make...

  No problem. Glad I could help.   If you are thinking about buying a  Brainwavz pad, get a pair of Brainwavz angled velour pads. it will give you more wider,airy soundstage.  http://www.mp4nation.net/brainwavz-angled-memory-foam-earpad-black-velour-suitable-for-large-over-the-ear-headphones

just heard both tracks. imo mt220 is much more capable of rendering deep bass notes with excellent impact here. it had great rumbling presentation. in the other hand 612 had leaner bass presentation, I couldn't feel that bass energy, impact with 612 like I did with yammies. but still you might...

    yes. there will be huge difference depending on the Brainwavz pad you use. as an example you'll get a more airy, leaner presentation if you use a velour pad. anyway, with the stock yammie pads I don't think you'll get that desired  soundstage and imaging for your music preference.  why not...
