Tried perusing the old pages but could'nt find a definite answer so sorry if this has been asked before. Has anyone found more breathable earpads? While the comfort is fine for the stock ones, my ears tend to get a bit warm after a couple of hours of wear. Has anyone tried the shure 1540 alcantara pads?
I don't know what the MT220 sound like, but the sound stage on the MSR7 is very wide for a closed headphone. I didn't see a mention on this so figured I would chime in.
I primarily listen to rock, the MSR7 is great with rock and heavy metal.

Absolutely do not change the pads on the MSR7. I have tried the Alcantara pads and brainwavz hm5 angled pads, and lambskin shallow studio monitor pads. Literally all of them ruin the bass, increase treble and lose isolation as well. The worst are the alcantara pads, then the hm5 pads, and then the shallow studio monitor pads. Just don't do it, save your money and keep the stock pads. If you need to replacement there are pads exactly like the stock ones on sale on ebay.

There's no way to change the pads without changing the sound, which applies to all headphones I've had. Changing from pleather (hot but good isolation) to velour (more breathable, not-so-good isolation) will always decrease the bass and vice versa. I was once a HD540 but in the end decided against it because the owner change the pads from velour into pleather, and the pads that are close to the original were very hard to find on ebay. For the MSR7 it goes the same. So I guess best thing you can do is take it off after a while. It's better for your health too.
I changed the earpads of the Sony MDR 1 A. The sound changed a little bit, in the good way. But my ears sweat so much with these, I will have to find originals.

Very subtile! Bass less overwhelming, maybe a bit clearer, but nothing really important. You not get a whole different sound. And be aware, if old pads were really not in good shape, it can be also an important factor. But man, what are they warm on my ears, they are soaked after my evening walk....
