Interesting. If your impressions change over time please share them. I tried taking off the pads once on my SE and almost had a heart attack due to the stress. Seemed like I was gonna break every tab I tried to pry off. I wouldn't look forward to that again!Just for the sake of science and experimentation, i decided to order a pair of Dekoni Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin pads (made for Arya, Ananda and Edition X and older he1000 models) and I am blown away by the new sound. These pads simply rock, these add some much needed mid bass punch while also thickening certain male vocals while still preserving the OG HEKSE top end and airy sound.
The replacement part was super easy. You can use any thin flat metal object (I used butter knife) and slide it between the pad and the cup and then gently pry one of the tabs off and the rest will pop out on their own.Interesting.

Good to know!The replacement part was super easy. You can use any thin flat metal object (I used butter knife) and slide it between the pad and the cup and then gently pry one of the tabs off and the rest will pop out on their own.
There's less stress on the plastic tabs if you push the pad inwards whilst doing this - this helps to unhook the tab whilst lifting it away.The replacement part was super easy.

I was in the same boat as you but decided to keep both. Now I have tried them with the Danacable Nirvana and believe it or not they both got even better. But what surprised me was the HEKSE got even closer to susvara. I can’t get myself to sell either one.I've got borrowed Susvara next to my HE1000se and doing some A/B. While I love the Suavara for tonality and a bit more refined sound, the HEkse are more spacious with a taller stage, which is why I choosed them originally.
I was planning to have one all-runder but now I'm confused and can't decide - perfect tonality vs spaciousness. I could afford both but that's against my resolution.
From your description of the pads there seems to be a chance that it can bring the HEkse closer to the Susvara (while sill not being there, I know)..
