Would be interested if anyone could compare these with the Dekoni Elite Sheepskin! I am wondering if it's worth a purchase if I already have those. For both Elegia/Clear.
I bought 2 sets direct from Dekoni for $304.87 AUD delivered. They shipped yesterday. Not sure how long they’ll take to arrive.So these pads are up now at Addicted to Audio (AUS) - $199 AUD...ouch! I am going to do some testing today with my Clear OG and the Elite Sheepskin to see how they go, not sure $200 is gonna be worthwhile upgrade!
Nice! That seems a lot better value. Hopefully not too long a wait! Keen to hear your feedback.I bought 2 sets direct from Dekoni for $304.87 AUD delivered. They shipped yesterday. Not sure how long they’ll take to arrive.

Just checking in that you got yours - any impressions so far?ETA is the 13th of May.
I did. I need to go back and have another listen with the Clear, but initial impressions were I didn't like that pairing at all. They are currently residing on the Radiance, where I found them to be an upgrade over the stock pads. I'll give some better impressions after the weekend when I can test and get my thoughts down.Just checking in that you got yours - any impressions so far?
Great review. I use these for non-critical listening like during the work day and then switch to other pads when I’m really focused on the music.On second day with these pads on my Stellias. Love them! It’s for the simple reason that I can now listen for a long time without hurting my earlobes. The extra 4mm of depth is magical in terms of comfort.
Pros:
Sound changes are so personal and my time with them limited. But, so far I enjoy the increased soundstage and change in treble. Cannot describe the treble changes. I need more time to figure those out.
- Comfort due to 4mm extra depth
- Sound isolation even with glasses
- Enhances ability of Stellias to remain exactly on the position I want them due to “grippier” leather
- Cooler temperature during long listening sessions. No idea why.
- Price compared to OEM.
Cons:
- Limited edition meaning I might not be able to replace them in the future.
- Color is different than the leather on my fresh Stellias.
Any other replacements for celestee you could recomend?Now that these are no longer being made the few vendors that have them in stock are starting to crank up the prices. Past the point of reasonable, imho.
I'm not a good source for this as I have a Clear instead of a celestee . Sorry!Any other replacements for celestee you could recomend?
