Does anyone know of some good pads that fit these? The ones on them aren't worn out yet but as much as I've used these in the few months I've had them the pads are getting more worn out than I'd expect at this point so I'd like to have some to replace them which I think is sooner rather than later. I feel like the ZMF pads would be a little too big but maybe the universal ones would work. If anyone has suggestions I'd greatly appreciate it.

I can't find replacement pads even on the AT site so not sure where you will find them. Of course if you go for something quite different then you may change the sound profile too........not necessarily for the best.
I found some Brainwavz pads that are the right size and I think they might work so I ordered a pair. Here's the link,

The actual replacement pads are around $40 pair + $10 shipping to the US, email parts@atus.com
Thx for the info. The Brainwavz pair I ordered will be here early next week and I'll see how they fare before getting them from AT.
I got the Brainwavz pads and they seem like they'll fit just fine when I'm ready to use them. They're almost exactly the same size around as the stock pads but they are a little thicker so I don't know if the sound is going to change some but I hope not since they sound perfect already to me.
Speaking of sound they pair really well with my xDuoo TA-20 hybrid amp and the Neo. They give them a little warmth in the mids and highs along with more width in the soundstage. I bought a pair of NOS military-grade tubes by GE that was $100 for the pair which is by far the most I've spent on a pair of tubes and I gotta say they sound really good and are noticeably better than the others I have. Better detail retrieval and overall clarity without losing any of that thick tube sound I love.

So basically, the AHD 9200 sounds identical with the AP2000TI but with more bass? Im looking to buy a high end wooden headphone since their acoustics and apearance always appealed to me. Was looking into the WP900 but do you think I should save up more and get the AHD 9200? I listen to everything and sometimes use my headphones when gaming since gaming headsets sound underwhelming compared to my AP2000TI.
I feel like the AP2Kti has really good bass now and they definitely have more bass impact than they did in the beginning. When I first got them I was going up about 3 to 4 dB in the bass with my Loki but now I only go 2dB at most and a lot of the time I leave it flat.
If there was ever a headphone that made me a believer in burn-in it's this one because they sound noticeably different than they did at the beginning. The highs have smoothed out ever so slightly and the bass is much more full and impactful sounding and vocals are more forward in the mix but not to make them sound mid-centric or anything they still sound very balanced.

I have not tried 9200 but have owned WP900 in the past. The WP900 is airy and wide for a closed, it is V shaped, however it terms of textural resolve etc... it is not that refined. I would assume 9200 improves on that.

(*edit, just had a sense of deja vu and realized he made a Tier list some months ago and my response was the same this time lol)
Though don't experience sibilance myself (and contrary to his suggestion, don't have hearing loss in the sibilance range), I think I am somewhat in agreement with his overall point - there absolutely is some peakiness that knocks these down from being a no-brainer (if overpriced) easy recommendation to a questionable selection for a lot of people.
I think they take to EQ decently- Incidentally I have been sticking with ye' olde basic 1-ply TP front filter mod which works very nicely- although the TP I am using has an uneven effect on the treble and listening to bright music like some specific rock/metal, I prefer stock or w/ EQ. I was also thinking of trying some cup dampening (IIRC someone mentioned A-T usually leave the cups bare on their "special materials" headphones).

I've never really had any problems with these being peaky but if they had I feel like the Jot2 I got about a week ago would help with that. They sound really good with the Jot2 and the added bit of warmth makes them sound more musical and smooths out some of the edges. The AP2000ti is still one of my favorite headphones and I'm still trying to decide whether or not to get the ATH-AWAS as my next headphone but I'm afraid they'll sound too much like these since they use the exact same driver.
