Hey Guys! Which way is the earpads? I assumed the stock earpads are supposed to be thicker at the back and thinner at the front. After a couple of years using my Fostex TH900 ii, I've just noticed that the earpads seems reverse where the front is thicker! That's how I got mine brand new!

If I need to swap the sides, is it hard to do? Never done any kind of modding and stuff on headphones! LOL

Any way you like or better anyway it sounds best for you. You are free to chose.

I would like to hear how Fostex intends the sound should come out and yes, it sounds good just the way it is BUT does Fostex intend to have the earpads thicker in the front and thinner in the back?? I assume it suppose to be the other way around. It just seems strange the angle is the other way around.

I stated thicker in the back and not the front.

Purchased Focal Clear to duel TH900. Definetly more even sounding headphone, detail is near but not as as good, timbre is hit or miss vs Th900, slight metallic shimmer at times but TH900 treble spike does it own tricks too to timbre. Soundstage of Clear is smaller, instruments are more stuffed on eachother but imaging is quite good.

Bass is fine but ofc compared to TH900 it pales, treble of Th900 is more piercing, Clears have only slight bite on its treble and that might be the point why go to Clears, not as excessive treble.

Vocals sound more full and better than TH900 but unfortunately not that much, expected vocals to triumph majorly over TH900 but it didn't go that far.

For me TH900 sounds bit more high end so TH900-> Focal Clear but really cant fault Clears they are quite good headphones.
