Definitely try out the alpha pads after your analysis, no hot spot after these :D

Yeah the real leather, I can't imagine the choice leather being too different in sound

Dekoni sheepskin are really good with them. I have the alpha pads on mine atm, but the bass gets a bit much sometimes,

I second this, dekoni sheepskin makes a big difference, I also have the alpha pads on my t5's pure bliss

All seems well with mine, just looks like they sorted out tidal really

All you need to do it pop the fixing ring off with one of these or similar (picture attached) and work the pad onto the ring

Dude.... You can fit the alpha pads on like you would og pads

I bought a pair of dekoni sheepskin (which I use for my t5's, btw they sound amazing on both T5's and 1770) and a pair of elite valour, I didn't like them on either the t5's or the 1770's because it obviously sucked most of the bass out, they have sat in a draw gathering dust, until I randomly...

Is anyone finding that the alpha is temperamental with charging cables, I've used two different ones, seem to be fine at first but then stop registering with it

Slap some dekoni sheep skins on them

Bought back in February and I bought it with the intent of using it commuting to and from work and is now no longer needed, PayPal fees and shipping is on me, will ship royal mail special delivery

Think I'm going to sell mine, not getting the use out of it, and since I've got my T5 gen 3 it's just too much power for my needs XD

fitted dekoni sheep skins on a while back, takes the comfort to a new level!

Coming from hd650's,which wasn't really my cuppa, I recently moved to 3rd gen T1's which I absolutely adore, sent them back for a warranty claim due to headband quality control issues, while I wait I decided I wanted a similar sound for the office and travel, so I bought a pair of Dt 1770's,wow...

How does it make it a total mess? To your ears?
