Still nobody about on head-fi who's received their pads and is willing to share?

 

[AppleheadMay]

Willing to share, yes, received, no.
 
You're still waiting as well Julian?

 

[julianbell92]

Yep, I hope they're worth the wait. Mark said 2 weeks 'til dispatch on the 14th so hopefully they'll be on a flight by the end of the week!

Newbie here - been lurking for awhile. I figured I should join up since you're looking for pictures and impressions of the D-5000s with Lawton's lambskin angle pads. I received my modded pair a couple weeks ago.
 
First of all, I'm relatively new to upper-end headphones, so I really have nothing of note to compare these to. Suffice it to say that, after a couple hundred hours of burn-in/listening, I am hearing very familiar music for what seems to be the first time. I can't believe how much I was missing before!
 
As far as comfort is concerned, the pads are luscious. Large ear holes fit me perfectly, and I've experienced absolutely no fatigue or discomfort after 2-3 hours of constant listening. Very comfortable. These phones have added significantly to my enjoyment of music.
 
Anyway, that's my quick review. For those still waiting or trying to decide whether or not to buy - worth it, IMO.
 
Let me know if you need more/better pics!

Welcome and thanks for your impressions.
They look to be of about the same thickness of the J$ Pads.
Is the filling soft or sturdy?
 

 

[dfunk24]

The filling has just the right amount of support - not too soft or too firm. As I said, they are very comfortable and I can listen to music for extended periods without the distraction of "feeling" the phones on my head. I forget they're even there after awhile.

 

[julianbell92]

Thanks so much for posting dfunk24, this was just the news I wanted to hear, they look great and your pictures are excellent as well so thank you. The size and thickness looks great and your comments on comfort are encouraging to hear
 
Oh yeah - sorry about your wallet!

 

[AppleheadMay]

Good to hear, they must be a bit softer than the J$ pads then, these are quite surdy.
I hope my mods will arrive soon as well.

 

[MattTCG]

These pads go for about $90?

 

[julianbell92]

Price on the website is now $99

I think the J$ Pads were about the same price when they were still available, no?
I don't remember what I paid for them.

 

[julianbell92]

When I looked at them last year, I think they were $70 or 80 posted to the UK then, although the exchange rate was less favourable to brits then.

 

[AppleheadMay]

Good to know, thanks. They are no longer made though. I think I saw a pair here on HF for 100$ a while ago.
I don't even know what version I have, V1 or V2 and now idea how to find out.

Is there still only one person with a set of these pads?  Are there really 2 kinds of pads?  On the Lawton website,  he says these are available but are going fast does anyone know if he has caught up with orders yet?
