I took apart the M560 to have a look inside and also for anyone else that was curious. Apologies in advance for the potato quality. I think the driver looks quite similar to the T50RP, from the outside at least.

When the original pads on my M560s wore out I just cut the stock plates out of them and put brainwavz lambskin oval pads on. The standard plates fit snugly into the brainwavz and hold the pads well. I also tried brainwavz velour which are my favourites for comfort but the loss of bass was too much.

Got my M560s a couple of hours ago and have been listening to a few songs and tried some gaming. I was a bit worried with comments about the lack of bass but for me these have enough. They have a bit more bass than my Sony MDR 100AAP but they don't vibrate on my ears like my V-Moda Crossfade...

Try connecting the amp to another source to see if you get the same noise. Maybe try with your phone.

Thanks, that sounds quite promising actually.

    What do you think of the cloned G-Cush in terms of comfort and sound? I've been wanting to try some Grados but the price of the authentic G-Cush is putting me off.

I ended up getting the brainwavz velour ear pads.   These are a lot bigger than the original 100aap pads. The frames that hold the pad to the headphone have a bit of wobble room inside the pads, and the back of the pads was covering the clips on the frames. I trimmed about 3mm of pleather all...

I've only had my 100AAP for about 3 months and the earpads are still in good condition but I think the padding has softened up a bit (was quite soft to begin with). When I wear them now my ears are slightly pressed and get sore after an hour or so, whereas before they didn't touch the inside of...

Thanks for the info guys, I think I will try them and see how it goes :)

Hey guys, I've been looking for some comfortable headphones and I had high hopes for the MDR-1A, but I read a couple of posts saying that the pads might cover some part of your ears. Are there any replacement pads that can fix this, particularly velour ones?
