Velours all the way, Pleathers are way more comfy though....how much that factors is in is upto the user I guess.
Weird. I find the HE-500 beats the HD650 in everything but sound-stage width and depth. Oddly, I can hear the distinctions in instruments better with the HE-500 as well.

One drawback, though. at the moment the volumes is BELOW 9'oclock, due to the output of the DAC being 2.5 V, I guess.

I felt compelled to mention that having just changed the HE-500 pads to the velours, I am genuinely staggered by how much better they sound. The clarity is leagues better.
For all those who actually prefer the pleather sound regardless of it being inferior to velours
Isn't this a bit like, "When did you stop beating your wife?"--an unproved assumption. Some of us are saying that to our ears the pleather sound isn't inferior.
