Thanks for the tip. I am also after a pair of boost pads. I have emailed AQ's European centre in The Netherlands, will see what they say on Monday. Viabox seems to be a great option, but even 3 weeks is quite a long wait.
I can't remember where I read, someone put a simple paper ring in the hybrid (classic) pads to mimic the closeness of the boost (full pleather) pads. I thought, I give it a try just for fun, and actually I quite like what I hear, so I am pretty sure, the boost pads are for me.
i think you'll be waiting longer than 3 weeks , more like 3 months (or more) , until the ear pads are for sale from UK online shops , so at least there's always the viabox option (though shipping costs do bump the price up). The effect the boost pads (protein leather) had on my nighthawks (with my desktop set up) was to make the imaging and soundstage sound more correct , as soon as i put them on and played some music for comparison to the original classic pads i thought , these are staying on.
