jergpads are originals, developed by jerg and modulor.  FocusPads are the official HFM (HiFiMAN) pads shipped with the HE-400i and HE-560.  HFM used some of the principles of the jergpads in the design of the FocusPads and FocusPad-As.  The two FocusPad variants use softer foam than the jergpads, which utilize parts from the two older HFM pads (velour and pleather).

Yes, but i meant If there was a difference sonically.

Probably.  I've found that different materials, esp. the internal foam, change the acoustics.  How much depends on your ears and the cans to which they're attached.  In the end, there's only one way you're going to find out.  Given that modulor appears to be inactive, you can either make your own, or find someone who will sell you theirs.
 
I have a homemade pair of jergpads.  While almost assuredly not up to modulor's craftmanship, they're not half bad.  If you're interested, we can probably work out a deal.  Bear in mind that were you to make your own pair, it costs a minimum of $30 + shipping for the two older pads, not to mention the hours spent constructing them.  Still, I probably would charge much more than the FocusPads.
 
PM me, if you're interested.

Just checked head-direct.com.  Unless I missed them, the old velour pads are no longer available.

I'm looking to get into the modding scene, and this one looks promising! I'm considering between doing this or going with the T50RPs and doing the more extensive modding with them. My goal is to model my sound similar to my last pair of headphones which were Shure SRH840s, but hopefully obtaining better detail and a little more subdued treble. Is there much merit in the price jump between the HE400 ($300 on amazon right now) and the T50RPs ($140)? I'm not sure whether orthodynamic drivers tend to improve with price or not, and that essentially is the main lure in stepping up in my mind. Thanks!

I dont' have the hifiman velour pad but i have a pair of akg 240 velour pads, can i use it instead?

Anyone hear from modular? Kind of disappointed and feel disrespected that I haven't heard from him nor have I reviewed my pads!

 

[nudd]

I have pm him but no luck since about a year ago. If anyone is still in contact with him, some need would be appreciated.

 

[Tranman13195]

I have the same problem. I pm'd him about a refund a month ago. Since I have the focus pads now, he hasn't responded.

 

[cpick078]

Paid modular over a year ago, looks like he stiffed us.. very disappointed in the lack of communication by him, I hope he gets his personal life in order

 

[RiddleyWalker]

Does anybody know what part of the Jergpad mod helps with the upper mids dip on the HE-500?

 

[dauhak]

I live in Hong Kong, Can I get JergPad for HE400 ?,

 

[nudd]

You have to make it yourself. Modular has gone missing.

 

[mandrake50]

Yes. Too bad too. He did a great job on the pads. His edition of the Jerg pads and the grill mod actually made my HE 400 listenable.
Several people made them successfully. The instructions in the beginning of the thread are good. Given the time and patience, it can be done.

Hello,
 
I am looking into buying the HiFiMan Focus-Pad. Would you mind sharing your thoughts for the Focus Pad?
Why did you choose the Pad and not the Pad-a? Thanks!
