Which angled sheepskin pads though?

It's the same dimensions, thickness, etc as the Brainwavz one.

Damn those look very angled and thick, and I thought ZMF Ori was thick. This is probably due to the classic headband on the OG 6-screw HE6 I'm using (although I have no comparison basis to the SE or SEV2). That opening looks similar to Ori, and I didn't like what Ori did to the imaging.Sorry, this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T87DYFB/

Thanks for the measurements! How do the thicker angled earpads affect soundstage or imaging?More measurements for digestions -- same caveats as last time:
Blue is normal HE6SE v2 configuration. Red is grill removed. Orange is grills installed + thicker angled sheepskin leather pads.
I also used the eBay metal honeycomb grill today and it measures exactly the same (pretty much) as the red line with no grill.
Looking at the measurements posted by Antdroid few posts ago, it looks like V2 is not recessed like OG SE. I'd like to see more measurement comparing the two versions. Velpads should bring up the bass.

So far and luckily, I've only experienced this with HEDDphone. Driver flex is what it's called? People metion it frequently for iems, in which I've never experienced.Also these thicker pads make driver crinkle when you put it on.
The A90 is a great preamp for a speaker power amp.ng your He6sev2 with the A90 makes me feel like I'm the crazy one. Tried it again after a week break of it and it still hurts my ears. Was considering an adcom 545 but not sure if $250 is a decent price for it. Is there a better choice for reasonable price?
I think that is the best HE6 measurement I have ever seenMore measurements for digestions -- same caveats as last time:

How is the comfort of the v2 with regards to clamp force and adjustability of the headband? In general, I've found the new headband style to fit too loosely on my head with regards to clamp and not enough adjustment for smaller heads (I had this issue with the 5xx, which contains a similar headband without comfort strap) . Thanks!

Weird, read in other posts the preamp sucks but I don't really have much to compare for myself.The A90 is a great preamp for a speaker power amp.
