Not sure if anyone has said this before in the thread, but the new small pads are on the site now.

I can somewhat see where he's coming from, but I still think that this is odd. I don't have the original pads but i do use the PSB pads on mine, which are said to be similar to the sound on the original pads and even have the same foam layer. With the PSB pads, the sound at first seems like the...

Same with me. If they really do sound better, I hope they're available separately soon.

Weirdly enough, the new pads are actually bigger in height. Only thing smaller is how deep they are by 1mm. The main difference is that the new ones that simulate the old, small pads have a layer of foam on the back. I don't own them btw, just from the site

After checking, the depth of the new pad revision is 1mm less than the current pads but the same width and more height

I'm worried sbout this new pad revision... there is a frequency response graph comparing the pads on Massdrop. The wording is confusing but the newer pads seem even warmer and bassier than the old ones. They're also bigger than the current pads and have foam dampening, which could just muffle...

Yes, those are definitely the old pads, seeing as the inside is smooth.

Found these brainwavz pads on amazon and they looked intresting... they have the same foam layer of the original smaller pads and look to be decent replacements but they may or may not fit the 99C's. They also look a bit thinner so they could sound worse that some of the other replacement pads...

Don't know about the 2nd gen pads but the newest pads started being shipped around early 2017 AFAIK

The old pads. The inside is smooth

For anyone who has these, how do the HiFiMan HE-4xx and Sundara compare to the 99C's?

I cleaned them because they were a bit sweaty and the things i did were in the PSB M4U1 owners guide. My mistake was putting them in the case before they had dried completely. I just tried putting them next to a window with sunlight passing through and the smell seems to have lessened. Ill try...

I also have the Meze 99 Classics. I have a Schiit Magni 2/Modi 2 and don't hear much, if not any difference when i use it, compared to my iPad. They don't really need much power. Also, most people say that larger pads don't sound very good with the Meze 99 Classics. If you have the new larger...

I recently cleaned my Meze 99 Classics, on which i switched out the pads to the PSB M4U 1 pads. I used a wet cloth to clean the headphones and the pads, while still attached to the headphones. After that, i (stupidly) put them in the case and left it there for a couple of days. When i used them...
