Well, I ordered a pair. The clips look exactly like what I saw on mine so let's see how it goes. I'm going to hold off on wearing it until they come in. Fingers crossed
So my hypothesis is this. The left earpad is flush on top with the top of the ear cup which lets it swivel in and out. The earpad slightly touches the most inward part only, so it has range to move when I'm wearing it.
The right earpad however is bulging on the top and when you swivel it, the top hits and causes resistance. I believe that when I wear it the top gets bunched up and forces itself into the side of my head. At first I heard creaking from the right and now I realize that is the issue as well
So if the Dekoni pads are well made and eliminate this issue theoretically the Arya should be great. I'm having zero issues with my left side at this point, but the right keeps getting irritated. I have a pressure spot exactly where that top bunched up part sits. I bought the Hybrid pads which I bet will increase bass and decrease treble, which will be interesting since I just did that with EQ lol
Here's a couple pictures in case anyone is interested. Anyone having the same pad issue?
