Of course this depends on one's personal taste and hearing, but from what I gather, the A500's and RP21's aren't too close. If anyone has compared both, or owned both, please comment. This statement above is simply from what I have read. |

On their website, it states that they have up to 14 days to process your order by either shipping your order or sending you an email saying it's out of stock. I ordered the leatherette (pleather/softskin) pads from this page, with a total cost of $28. I got to that page from a thread focusing on the leather earpads. I'll try to remember to write a follow-up once I receive an update. |
