Did the OP ever post back or contact anybody? This feels kinda bogus

 

[Ichos]

Yes he contacted me providing a pair for my review.

Since then there is no response from him so he might be out , or busy or let's hope nothing else happened....

Thanks, I'm outta here.

I have the Focal Elegia and would be interested in reviewing any of your products for this particular model.

I will receive dekoni pads for MDR-Z1R (for review), I didn't ask for a particular variation of the materials (I have been told, there are three dekoni pads). Ups has had an oopsie and they moved my delivery to monday.

Thanks @dekonifor shipping them to me on "the other side of the pond" (Europe)

At least we have @DekoniAudio as option for our HPs instead of having to deal with sony parts dealers. I was already thinking of buying replacement pads for my Z1R as the stock ones have been compressed and deformed and they've been causing me discomfort

Got the review pads, the full 4 for the MDR-Z1R, whew1 they came just before I go to trainings

Yeah I'll do that. I will do the review step by step. I found @Ichos review was posted too quickly, ok, they're pads that dont require burn in. And people complaining of a comfort based review instead sound quality-based.. I think here also applies, yheyre pads not a cable or a driver. Perhaps a minute change in SQ may be brought

@gerelmx1986

Not to quickly I assure you because I was the first of all to receive the pads.

The packaging (for each pad pair) feel worthy, I wasn't expecting a nice box actually hard and with a magnet to keep it closed, nice touch from @DekoniAudio

The prices I saw on the website are as follows, prices in US Dollar

> elite velour 59.99
> Elite hybrid 99.99
> elite sheepskin w/perforations 79.99
> elite sheepskin 109.99

For the MDR-Z1R elite pads, no worries of having to struggle removing the attachment/mounting ring assy from the stock sony pads. One thing but is of no concern, the mounting rings from dekoni have no color-coded pimple (as to identify L and R pads) but the rings and cup receptacle are identical in L and R sides, sony was smart on that regard

 

[gerelmx1986]

All pads from dekoni clear up the big bass presence of the Z1R.

Velour and hybrid feature a similar signature, clean yet punchy th bobbing bass and nice airy details.
Non-perforsted sheepskin, a reference flat tuned signature.
Fenestrated sheepskin, harsh sounding MDR-Z1R, it totally annihilates the bass
