Can't believe they haven't been re-dropped....

 

[hardbop]

They should be coming soonish.

 

[Jpbas1]

PM me if you need a pair now.
 
Best always....

Finally, the cable is chopped off to 5' and fitted with an Oyaide angled 3.5mm. What a relief, that anaconda cable was simply a chore to lug around. The rest of the cable will be fitted with a female plug and used as extension.

Wish the re-dropped version would come with removable cable (just like the TH900MK2

)

Unfortunately it won't.

So I have used the Alpha Pads for a little bit. Not sure I'm sold on them yet. They definitely change the sound signature. The low bass is mostly gone with the mid and upper bass taking center stage. The bass is also tighter. The mids seem a bit recessed now with the highs being a bit overpowering.

Maybe I'm just not used to them or I'm wearing them wrong. Is the thicker side supposed to be on the back or front of the ear?

As far as comfort goes A++++

These things are like 10x more comfortable than the stock ear pads.

Thicker side back.

Thicker side back.

 
Okay, I'm wearing them right then.

I'd guess shortly after the m9XX re-drop ends.

It had been said somewhere that it is due to the production line, they cannot have another batch prepared until late January or late February.
[The second week of February is the traditional new year for Chinese (for this year). TH-X00 is assembled in China]

 

[m8o]

Thanx for the added detail.

 

[sysfail]

Curious, has anyone directly compared the THX00 with both the TH900 pads and Alpha pads?

 

[TWerk]

They are okay with the th900 pads, but I prefer the stock ones on them. Not surprisingly, I also prefer th900 pads on the th900. In other words, I like them both with their intended earpads.
