They look ultra thin!This is disappointing... I'm am not even going to bother trying these and return them asap to Dekoni.
I ordered 3 (all except the velour), they all do not feel premium at all, very scruffy build quality, zero angle (the original is considerably thicker in the back) and way more shallow than the OG pads. My (giant elephant) ears will never fit.

It is even worse.... this is the fit with the right alignment.
Kinda baffling how these pads seem so off...
Those stock pads look huge though... Maybe I should be looking at the new stock pads... It looks like they're coming with a thicker version nowadays?This is disappointing... I'm am not even going to bother trying these and return them asap to Dekoni.

The Dekoni are 23mm max without any compression: my Susvara OEM pad (2021 build) is 26mm at the back. My right ear lobe very lightly already touches the grill/mesh with the OEM pads.
That's what she said
I can imagine the close up photo with an typically wide angle mobile came makes things worse.

I measure the FSS at 2 cm to the seam, and ~25 mm to the edge of the pad. Both at the back.
EDIT: pictures of what stock vs FSS looks like for me. Back:

They are plush and nice and comfortable, my ears don't touch the inside of the headphone and my Susvara's sound great through my current rig.
Therefore no reason or need to change my stock pads at all !
That looks way more reasonable to me.So the difference in the picture is 'only' 3 mm? Looks a lot bigger.

This is the right pad at the back: 23 max. The tool is set at 25mm, clearly an 2mm minimum gap. But these pads being rounded at the side that touches your skin, it would easily compress more.
Can only agree...
I would say Dekoni are laughing all the way to the bank !

The variance in stock pad thickness is quite shocking

Some people's stock pads are really thick compared to mine. Also, try on the Dekoni, even if they appear thinner. If they're firmer than the stock, they might compress less and actually provide more room.

At first glance I thought your stock pads are very thick and yet when I took a picture of mine, they look about the same. Mine is also 2021 production batch.
Photo shots of my stock pads. First photo is the back facing sides of the pads and the the second shot the front facing sides of the pads ;
