Ok folks,
So...... I've been wanting to post about this for some time.
This is for everyone that is using angle pads on their 560's. I've had my 560's for over a year now and have always fiddled with the placement of the FAT part of the pads.
For me, I would always revert to the 7 o'clock position with the pad placement. Here's a diagram of what I mean.
For me the 7 o'clock position seems to be the most comfortable, and the preferred sound with pad placement. The fat part just seems like the best place at 7 , because it's the most recessed spot in the circumference around the ear.
I've moved them from 9 , all the way down. At 7, things become more center focused. Height in the stage increases, and bass presence seems fuller. But, that's just my subjective findings.
From scanning pics over time of others pad placement. It always seems like they're at the 9 position. To me they never felt quite comfortable there , and it seemed to collapse the height.
I'm super curious if anyone else has messed with this. It could be my ocd at the end of the day lol.
Would love to hear anyone else's thoughts if they've tried, or are willing to try it.
Thanks!
