Yep!
Good measurements (and developing iterations) take time, and we set ourselves up with a backlog seeing as how many different pads we stock ^_^'`
We’ll try our best to measure in-between expanding to pads for more headphones, as well as experimenting with new materials and potentially more audio accessories...

Haha, with time, patience and skill, you'll soon be able to grow you collection way past the point where your significant other even knows what you've done. It's all part of the Dark Arts of Head-Fi (there should be a forum sticky on this, mods!).
So, it seems that Sonarworks True-Fi (software EQ for Mac and Windows that corrects a number of specific headphones' frequency responses to near-flat) basically fixes these headphones for me, removing the muffled sound. It is enough of an improvement that I think that this might be my main non-portable setup until I receive my Audeze Mobius.
If anyone else wants to try it out, the software has a 10-day free trial. I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to buy it - I'll probably wait for my Mobius, and with that I will hopefully be done with traditional full-size headphones like the Elear (I expect to still sometimes use my Koss KSC-75 and Panasonic RP-HT21, given their extreme portability).

Been using the Reference 4 headphone version for some months now on both the Elear and Shure 1540. I rate it. The applied EQ makes a more significant difference with the Elear than it does to the Shure, but totally agree on the extra clarity it brings. Also really like being able to add +6db to the bass when in the mood for some electro!
Other than the $150 replacement pads from Focal the only other ones I found are $90, are those the cheapest replacement pads there are? How Focal can charge $150 for some foam ear pads is ridiculous.

Well said. When you can buy better looking, better sounding and more comfortable pads from @DekoniAudio for less than $100, Focal has a cheek to charge what they do for their (in my opinion) poor quality pads. Clear pads are even worse - $250 for material pads that will stain and discolour with normal use. Very poor value.

What kind of juice do the Elear require? I have a pair arriving tomorrow and I currently am running a Schiit Modi 2 Uber/Magni 2. Wondering if it will be enough power.

Not that much power is needed. Most portables will drive them. Your gear will get them jumping. As a sponsor and not being a dealer of Shiit I am not allowed to comment on that product in a good or bad way and not even to discribe the pairing as I see it. Enjoy your Elears!
