We are still getting confirmation on that. Ideally we will make them available worldwide and we will clarify in the email announcement.

The headphones too?

The headphones too?

The headphones are sold out and no more are being produced. We might have some left over after all shipping is complete that we kept as a buffer for Support purposes. We will only make that available in June or later once all community members have received their headphones and we know the exact amount that is remaining.

If you would like to be a part of the list of members who are alerted about the headphone remainder sales, please reach out support@apos.audio and ask to be put on the list.

I'm glad there will be replacement available, but the Ori pads are an excellent substitute.

I ordered the ZMF Ori perf pads with the headphone, and swapped them a while ago. They definitely retain the overall character of the tonality of the headphone, while giving a welcome bass boost. The only downside is that pad swapping on the Refine is a pain in the arse! It was not particularly easy to get them to stay on.

Also, the Nitsch Pietus Maximus is probably my favorite amp with these, the combo is just great! If anyone is considering this amp it is also really good with the Focal Clear, and ZMF dynamics. You get really good sound for the amount of $ spent imo.

Hi all,

We are excited to share with everyone that the Apos x Audio-Technica Refine Pads will be available soon on Apos.
These pads would fit the ATH-R70x, R70xa, and the Apos x R70x Refine.

Also thought pad swapping was a pain. Possibly the hardest time I (and my girlfriend, who is better with difficult pad swaps than me, lol) have had.

I didn't have complaints about the sound difference with the Ori pads, but I thought the comfort was worse and preferred the feel of the stock pads.
