Would love to know how the Elite Hybrid sounds on the Massdrop HE4XX with the fenestrated sheepskin compared to the stock pads? I'd like to boost the bass a bit and tame the treble.
The Hifiman pads are on massdrop right now, and the chat has a frequency response chart to show what the pads do.@DekoniAudio any chance of some discount kindness for sweet, sweet replacement pads? i've loved the elite foam enough to want to try another of yours
For full transparency, the sheepskin is the only one I tried from this drop, due to measurements I found (which I can no longer locate). It extended the bass considerably, and seemed to have the most even treble.Really good to know, thanks for sharing. I use other methods to even out the treble however I'll be needing new pads at some point. Patient on this, will try to wait for a drop.

Granted the HE-560 is still bright, but the grain and harshness is gone. It's almost like it's a grain filter, haha

If memory serves, the graph was in the drop chat. But then again, if memory served, I'd have the link!Interesting, not sure I'd want the HE-560 bass extended lower. I think the reach is more than adequate! I use a shelf liner with a quarter size hole cut out below the screwplate to even the treble.
Interesting findings, thanks for sharing your experience! We’ll put up measurements with our pads on the HE-400i we have, soon, but first we’re going to publish a graph for our Audiobook Technica AD-series pads (because we already finished the measurements).

Our HE-400i is returning home after some demo use, and next in line for a graph... and so is some near-production pads for a new set of headphones
We would have to see if we could borrow a pair somewhere ^__^Would be great if you could do some measurements of changes on a Sundara or one of the other newer Hifimans. They have a different earpad than the older ones so it would be great to see how sound changes compared to the new pali pads.
