Now, now, the differences are pretty small, not likely something to exaggerate...
The headphone still sounds good and the new pads are still very comfy

Not velour, the underside lining is a continuous weave of a permeable mesh fabric, sorta kinda like a very coarse stocking material.

I think there's something wrong if you start comparing the HP50 to the HE-560, first of all it's a different technology, secondly it is open vs closed and third they are in a completely different league. Both are excellent, in their own way. (before you ask, yes I have both)
Wasn't the complaint about the original pads limited to the size of the opening? I don't recall anyone suggesting that HFM should change the material/construction, just make the opening a little larger. I could be wrong, but that's my recollection. Funny how much pads can color the presentation (says the man with six different pads for his HE-500s). While having a choice would be great, I wonder about the practicality of manufacturing both.
