Nope. You just stretch them a bit and slide around the brim.

Quite easy!

Hi. Any pads for Sony 7506 should fit. Bought some by Krone Kalpasmos. Comfier than the originals.

Has anyone listened to the new CC Sennheiser hd25 Aluminum?

Did you try the Meze with the original pads? Smaller and less comfortable, but they're supposed to sound good, no bloated bass.

They're bad across the spectrum but unlike treble, bad bass isn't ear piercing, just boomy or one-notish...

Hi, only have the Earfun. It sounds good, has strong bass and the features work well. On sale now for around 50 USD.

I have the ER2xr. It's fantastic, a direct upgrade I would say.

Yep. Just got the re-800 (which is much cheaper than it used to be these days) It is CERTAINLY technically better than the re-400. Very impressive. But not necessarily an easy-listen for long hours. And the 7khz peak needs to be tamed down. No EQ needed for re-400...

Honest seller, good price, good product

Thanks. In the bottom photo, they look like a standard 215 mold with this big outer shell attached...

Thanks. Can anyone compare the sound to Shure/Aonic 215?

Krone Kalpasmos for Sony MDR-7506, Wrinkled Frogskin PU Leather Foam. Comfortable, more breathable. I *think* the sound is similar. The original pads are too squishy and the frame pressed on my head.

Thanks. I guess that's why I opted for the ER2XR rather than the ER2SE :)

Makes sense. How much better are the SD-2?

Thanks. Well, I have noted Crinacle's labeling of these as bright, and was a bit surprised. Most iems have that lift from upper mids to lower treble. The re400 has a gentle lift, slopes down after that for the most part, and on top of that has this slight bump in the mids. Maybe its bass...

Hi, I'm not sure DT880 or the AKG are the equivalents of re400. These headphones seem to be more "clinical". You might look for a used NAD Viso hp50 on ebay. I hear some similarity. Both the NAD and the re400 are neutral-ish, but with a warm tilt.

Hi, the following comparison between Shure SE846 and Etymotic ER2XR comes from a respectable (former) reviewer on Head-Fi. He says the Etymotic competes very well. Any additional views on that? https://theheadphonecollector.blogspot.com/2019/10/etymotic-er2xr.html

Interesting. No bass response lost?

Hi, so has anyone found good non-leather/pleather pads for these which do not change the sound? Leather and pleather are out of the question for some of us on hot days...

The Blon is nice. Listening now. Probably not as smooth and speaker-like as the NH. Nice timbre for sure.

Well, there's something to be said in favour of IEM comfort, especially on a hot humid day.... Will not be able to use the NH for long periods during summer.

After listening to the NH, it's harder to enjoy IEMs, even pretty good ones... Has anyone come across an <300 USD IEM which comes close to the NH? (very low distortion, smooth, speaker-like sound)
