And there you go... post #7068 answered my question...! Never mind!
Definitely will try!Again, I may reply with what fjrabon said about this piece: "the foam piece will help absorb the very highest THD from flowing back into the cup, which reduces harshness".
There is nothing bad with installing it and it is fully reversable. Please tell us what are you impressions after trying it
VRacer - oh. OK, that sounds positively ghastly. I already had a similar experience when I swapped the stock pads with Dekoni fenestrated sheepskin pads... upon listening and reflection I determined that fenestrated must be a Latin word meaning “SUCK THE BASS OUT”. That was just awful and I don’t want to head anywhere in that direction again...
Try the Ori pads. I believe you’d like them. There’s a sheepskin pair in the classifieds right now basically new from their description for I believe $45. Won’t break the bank either.
Just out of curiosity, what headphone you find to have more mid presence? For me, mids is forward, and I listen to plenty of vocals, and should be pretty familiar if vocals sound recessed or not. Low toned male vocals are usually shown around 1k with upper mids showing mainly female vocals. I personally cannot find anything drastic in terms of tonality for those areas. Perhaps different ears in this case, perhaps my ears are just suited for the Ebony.
What amp are you using? Is it a reasonably low output impedance amp? TH-X00 is quite a low impedance headphones, only at 25 ohms. The sources I've been using were all under 2 ohms output impedance.
It shifts the focus to bass for sure.

Is there an impedance response graph posted anywhere? How come Jude doesn't post impedance graphs?
I feel like I'm listening to these for the bass only.
These arn't that hard to drive, I was just curious if possibly you were using something with significant output impedance since you are stating recession and muddiness. None of them one your list(I don't know about LD MK2) would be considered too high of an output impedance for the headphone. I drive it out of my DAP(Opus #2 and prefer it over the Mojo) in the office(respectable performance out of a portable device), but I prefer my desktop rig more as it's slightly better. It doesn't scale so much with better gear. I just like it due to the bass and overall tonal balance(which is pretty important to me, and at minimum a good headphone should meet the criteria), and not so pricey as the Focal Clear(which is another strong contender). Price to performance, tonality, unique bass character to distinguish(since this type of cupped bass is new to me), comes all together to be good choice. It's getting a lot of plus points from me due to the headphone being cupped as well, and tuned in such a way.
Focal Clear is average.

This pair of mine has the sound signature changed to the way I would prefer it. Therefore, it depends on your taste, preferences. however, I hear that doing detachable mods, some may not hear the differences.....and some people hear it ?
I have the ZMF Ori Pads on my TH-X00 PH. Couldn't be more pleased with them. I bought the Dekoni Fenestrated on Massdrop but never put them on. They are definitely thinner than the ZMF.
