Headphoneus Supremus
In Europe I can't find the Vegan pads for less than €100. Puh-leaase..
I came to the same conclusion... cheapest I found is custom-cable in UK (£75)

If you had to be precise about what changes velour vs Focus-A brings sonically, what would be it?

Was curious if anyone out there in head-fi land has tested both focuspad a and non a earcups?
Is there actually a difference between the two?
My main concern is bass, which focuspad would give better bass?
I actually already own audeze vegan pads but after a while with them, im not happy with the bass. Therefore, I want to try focuspads to see if it will make up the lacking bass.
Thanks for responses.
I don't have a direct answer but am curious to know if you find the Audeze lacking in quality or quantity? Or both?
After some digging I ordered Focus-A's yesterday for what I believe should smoothen the top and add bass a little. Hopefully all the rest remains untouched for the most part.
Based my choice on the underneath links and a few others impressions.

Thanks for the comparisons. I myself have tried the ZMF Lambskin (similar to the alpha pads but just a bit thicker) and the ZMF protein pads as well as both stock before finally settling on the FocuspadA's. I find them to provide the speed and impact of the HE-500 with great soundstage and just the right amount of treble for me.
Did you like the sound of the zmf pads with the he500? I am looking to buy a pair of he500's and already have the lambskin pads, would be great to hear some impressions from you!
