Hi All

I ordered some new pads for my DT990s the other day.

They arrived yesterday, but they've sent Pleather (I assume it's not real leather?) pads instead of the Velour ones

Now, do I send them back straight away, or are they any good?

Will my face/ears get sweaty?

Thanks in advance!

You just better make sure that the pads are made for the DT990, and not for example the DT770. It can screw up the sound big time.

Personally, I like the feel of the velour pads better.

I've tried quite a lot pads with different Beyers and was always astonished how much the non-standard pads spoiled the performance.

I'm going to send them back.

I used this parts explosion when on the phone to Beyer UK:

I assume they must have just picked the wrong item.

Thanks for your comments!
