  Hey guys I got myself a T40RP MK3 on sale at my local AV place. I have a gift card I plan to use for some replacement ear pads but not sure which to get. I was wondering if anyone can confirm if any of these would fit or not.
 
Beyerdynamic EDT 770 S
Beyerdynamic EDT 990 VB
Audio Technica HP-EP M-Series
Shure HPAEC440
Shure HPAEC840
Shure HPAEC240
 
I know there are plenty of other options, maybe better than these but those are my only options. Any comments on which you suggest would be appreciated.
 
Thanks!

The 840 pads fit, I'd assume that the other shure ones do as well. No idea about the other ones. I'd highly suggest taking a look at ZMF pads which are made for the t50rp, they're worth the price IMO.

On another note, I was hoping someone could help me out with my modded t50rp's. I'm using ZMF lambskin pads, I've filled the baffle holes with newplast and added silverstone foam to the bottom of the cups. I'm really liking everything right now except the sibilance is just a little too much. It's not a painful amount but its definitely creating a slight discomfort in my ears. What can I do to fix this?

Try ear side damping.

Try ear side damping.

I've tried applying some toilet paper on the earside but it isn't help enough. what else should i try?

 

[bluemonkeyflyer]

You could try a thin layer of cotton, felt, or a 1 cm square of acoustic foam on the center of the ear side baffle...or a combination.

Agreed with bluemonkeyflyer Mr.Speakers use little squares of noise damping foam one the ear side, you can move them around to your preference, I think they call them "doggie treats". Especially since they use a naked driver

 

[Turhuuksia]

The foam / cotton behind the driver can cause sibilance. Try reducing the amount, making it more sparse. If the stuff you have isn't very close to the driver it's unlikely to help though.

Hey people, we promised we'd put some upgrades for T50s out once the products were discontinued.  If there's still interest, should we share the 3D print files for the Alpha, along with an upgrade guide?  
 
We're ready to do so, we just need to put a license agreement that the downloaded files may not be reposted or shared, or used to create commercial products that are for sale.
 
We're also thinking of allowing people to send headphones with different tuning schemes developed by modders for measurement and a juried evaluation by our listeners, with a prize for the best implementation.  Thoughts?

Hell yes. That would loads of fun (both the files for the Alpha and the contest)

How about a non-profit group buy? 
Not everyone has access to a 3D printer, but if let's say a certain number people fund a single individual with the means and will to do this, that would lower costs for a number of folks without access to 3D printing.
I know I'd throw in a few $$$ extra ... call it a 'donation'

Excellent suggestion, I'd be interested in this as well.

That is awesome news, will you disclose what you did to the drivers in the alpha primes aswell ?
