I use my th900 on the go in the heat for over 5 years. The stock pads easily last 2 years.
My Dekoni sheepskin pads were purchased in September 2016 and still look new.

Hello Guys!
My TH900 is tearing down that inner foam underneath the pads. Does anyone knows how to find another to buy, or some DIY solution?

So I'm just going to assume then that once you go into TOTL headphones that there is no turning back.
Well there is something magical about certain headphones whether they're TOTL or not.

My list of amazing headphones is pretty short.

Don't get me wrong I have other cans I love dearly. But these two pairs of headphones even though they're not comfortable, they are magic. Magic with a capital M.

I love my th900 nk2 cans. The most exciting sounding cans that I’ve ever tried. Wish I’d bought the sapphire and emerald ones when they were available

Me too. I believed the crap about V shaped signature, basshead headphone etc. These are just tremendous all around headphones. I love the green color, never seen a pair in real life though.

I really wished that the colors besides red were not limited edition, but I understand why. Especially blue, I would have sold a kidney for that blue finish.

Edit (added): I went back to all the songs that I could not listen to on any headphone due to being very treble sensitive. After messing with EQ to decrease the upper treble and increase the mids, I am extremely happy with this pair of cans. Now to just get an open back to complement this and a better portable amp and I will get out of this hobby before more of my wallet bleeds out.
