That extreme but narrow dip is caused by the pads?

Mind you I found the brainwaves velour pads to be too bright for me. Must try the hybrids or even their pleather. Any chance of seeing those measured?

Have the alternate AQ pads for the NH been made available? I've been waiting to snap some up.

  stock pads and with HM5 velours pads.
 

 
Interesting graph - thanks. Did you create it yourself?
 
I have the velour pads on the way ("lost" on their way is more like it), but I am really enjoying the hybrids on the NH's, so I also would love to see their graph if possible.

are these AQs pads or another company's pads that are compatible? I know AQs pads were due out around this time but I do not see them on their website. Please provide me a link if you'd be so kind. Tks much

do we know if the Fischer he-002 and the Brainwavz HM5 are similar in thickness and size of opening?

  Fischer he-002

 
 

Brainwavz HM5 Velor Memory Foam


Any chance anyone has heard the NHs with BOTH of these pads and could describe their thoughts on the similarities and differences between the two?
