Are the stock pads like the stock hd 6xx ear pads comfort? Both seem to have a similar opening.

The HD6XX is a little deeper and larger circumference around the ear, and more comfortable IMO (probably the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever owned). I was actually kinda surprised to see how small the openings to the EMU pads were as they do look larger in pictures. I had to kinda get used to the fit as they almost wear like an on-ear. That said, I still find them comfortable. The pad material feels nice and cushy.

I noticed the left side of my teaks connector wobble. Is anyone else’s teaks like that?

Connector as in the piece that connects the cups to the headband? Or the cable connectors?

The cable wobbles, I switched the right side to the left side to see if it’s the cable and it did the same thing.
The left side connection is more loose not sure if that’s fine or normal because I barely got them a week ago.

It's normal, mine has wiggle on both sides. The solution was (other than reterminating) to create a tighter clamping force on the cups. I needed to switch to bigger pads to get that since my head is small and clamp is too light with the stock pads. Now the connectors rarely wiggle.

Hello,

I actually use the Audio Technica R70x. Some years ago I had the Denon 7000. What is the better deal? The Denon 5200 for 380 € or the Teak für 550 € and could the Teak be an upgrade in comparison with the R70x? I only read about the sweating problem. Is that still a point?

You could look for an ATH-W1000Z….

Just got these. Both cable connectors are wobbling/rattling little bit. More on the right side. Something to worry about? Loving the sound.

I swapped the stock cable for a Fantasia hd700 one and the wobble is much less now plus the stock one is trash. Way too much microphonics. It’s nothing to worry about.

Are the zmf eikon pads+dekoni attenuation rings worth it? Are the pads more plush or like softer than the stock pads? The stock pads fit but they are so stiff, it’s like they are filled with air and have no give or plushiness.

There's a lot of great options for the Teaks. Some stuff on Amazon (just search emu teak pads). I have the ZMF Ori pads and they work great.

Was wondering if the zmf pads are worth it to keep close to stock sound.

Favorable review at ASR for anyone interested.

If comfort is your thing, then yes. I didn't notice a huge difference in sound.
