Anyone have any ideas for slightly modding the he4 to better compliment alpha pads? Pretty sure im just dead set for life with the alcantaras but, ill have alpha pads in a day or two and wanted to toy with them again.

Gave a listen to both FocusPad and FocusPad-A before shipment (both sold now) and adjusted my evalution of both slightly in the guide.
Short version: If you absolutely must to get one of these pads, I find FocusPad-A slightly better soundwise (more linear FR) while I prefer FocusPad comfortwise (a bit less shallow). If you don't feel the need to try these hybrids, I advise to stay away from them. They are not completely bad but they are absolutely not great.
Yes, because I was disappointed by the FocusPad and therefore they agreed to send me the FocusPad-A for a special price as well instead of letting me ship the FocusPad back for a full refund.
Btw, I can tell you that these are the only pads I've attempted to sell so far... I am planning to keep the rest as it's worth it. These are definitely not worth 80USD + shipping investment and therefore have to go.
Awesome, I appreciate it. I just did some heavy duty washing (and beating the crap outta) my spare velour pads. I couldn't believe from one comment a ways back, that it did not affect anything. My prediction is the comfort will go up drastically, and the sound will have little to no change. I used a bit of fabric softener to help things out a bit. So far, the foam has become more pliable and more evenly distributed...

Haha! I didn't realize it was you... I truly wasn't trying to be snarky. :evil:
My experience with pad washing is mostly from Grados and HD800s. I had a positive experience with the HD800s, though Grado pads change sounds pretty extreme with the introduction of fabric softener...
mmmm alpha pads...the alcantaras still kill them, except in comfort, alphas will always win, they are undoubtedly the most comfortable pad ever in history...look it up, its true, science, and stuff...

That is true, after a bit, they get warm, thats where the alcantaras do win, but, in overall general comfort for me the alphas are just plush pillows on your head. But i can see instances where id prefer the shures for comfort, like right now, when its hot still in this house and the alphas are getting sweaty. Good news is, i can switch from he4 with alcantaras to t50s with alphas now. Best duo of great price/performance beast hps ever in existence.
