Edit: oops.. didn't notice Allanmarcus already posted links to the pads...

^^
That's the ones

Thank you everyone.

How easy is to replace them? Is it direct pull and install or involves screwing?

Wow, so many possibly answers that are completely inappropriate! Suffice it to say, when one is a true head-fi addict, one gives up screwing.  (ouch)
 
Replacing the pads is relatively easy. You pull the old ones and stretch and cajole the new ones on.
 
beyerdynaic added a notch in the DT1770 that makes swapping pads even easier. I haven't been brave enough to file a notch on my T1's, but I might.
 
Note, My T90 is also for sale, if anyone needs one.

Thank you Allan

Forgive me if this a dumb question, still a noob, but did changing to the angled velour pads in anyway help the soundstage? 

On a similar note, how much bigger is the soundstage of the T1 vs the T90?

Sorry, I'm not good at gauging sound stage. I will say the sound stage on the T1 is better, and many would say significantly better. That said, the T90 has pretty good sound stage.

Angled pads give less bass, but a slightly bigger overall soundstage IME.
 
Soundstage, but more significantly dynamics, are noticeably better on the T1. It's just a better headphone, period.

I have stuck on a set of HM5 pads and am pretty pleased with the result now I've cut out the stretched mesh covering the openings (is there a technical term for this?).

I never had a problem with the T90's being bright but boy if I go back to the stock pads, oosh-they are a bit shrill!

When I put the HM5's I was struck by the difference but it wasn't all good. I felt they muddied the sound somewhat and I was losing so of the exquisite detail, the sense rather than the sound of the music was missing.

So, I took a pair of scissors to the mesh and now I'm pretty happy. The detail, the weight of the music is back.

As a side note I have also upgraded from the Micro iCan to the Micro iCan SE. I will do a proper review of it soon but in the meantime if you're on the fence - just upgrade already. The iCan is good, the iCan SE is much better. If you're thinking of buying one or the other, for the few dollars price difference just buy the SE...

I imagine beyerdynamic, Ultrasone, and Sennheier have a name for that piece of material, but it's probably a 39 letter word in german that no one can pronounce

There's actually some padding under the O ring that holds the driver in. One recommendation I got earlier in this thread was to keep the mesh on the HM5 pads and remove the beyer padding from inside the cup. I chose to use use the stock pads, so I kept the in-cup padding.

Mesh Covering? On the outside or the inside?
I never opened a T 90 till today.
 
On Outside it is named too, as "Schweizer Tüll".

I mean the stretchy material that covers the driver opening or the opening on the pads.

Oh god I'm in audio heaven right now! Was reading through some of the earlier posts in this thread and came across this one regarding settings for a parametric EQ

http://www.head-fi.org/t/607079/beyerdynamic-t90-d/1425#post_10166251

Duly installed Mediamonkey plus Electri-Q and set accordingly...

Wow,what a nice sound my T90's are making right now. I'm from quite traditional hi fi background, back from when EQ's were considered the work of the devil. Well colour me converted!

Highly recommend investigating it off you haven't already.

Now just need to upgrade my dac (most probably to an ifi iDac2 + iUSB 3) and I reckon I'll be there for my bedside system.

I finally got a chance to hear these at CanJam at the Beyer booth.
 
I have definitely found my next headphone!  They sounded amazing!  
 
I tend to prefer a slightly bright FR, so I ended up liking their SQ waaaay more than the T1-2G (which really surprised me).
 
For me, Beyer has taken a little too much off the top of the T1-2G for my taste.  Guess I'll have to give the original T1 a listen ASAP!
