So I finally got my T50RP from a fellow Head-Fier. But I'm a little bit concerned that I am not amping it enough. I only have a Fiio E10 (unfortunately?). Going by my very early impressions, the highs and mids are kinda veiled; although the mids are more prominent than the highs, they are still veiled; and the bass is sort of there. Is this what it sounds like stock?

That is why nobody here leaves them stock.

Well as much as I want to mod them I figured I'd want to get used to stock first. More impact that way. But that was just the first few minutes of it, and after a few right now, I quite like it.

I was able to attach them and it ruined the sound.  There's LFF's sock mod, or use adhesive.
 

What do you mean ruined the sound? What affects did it have compared to stock or 840? Did you try modding them to suit the FA-003s?

I really enjoyed the fa003 pads. I'm getting a second pair of t50rp in soon so I can start again from scratch and get a better idea of exactly what each change impacts

Sucked all the bass out, like the Sony 5000 pads did.  The Fischer pads are very nice, but stretching them so much messed up their geometry that works so well with the phone as-is.  I think it simply created too much volume inside the pad.

You haven't heard them, have you? You're the first person I've seen comment on HE-300 pads and it'd be great to see a comparison between those and the FA-003's

No, I haven't heard the Fischer pads, but I can say the HiFiman leather pads are rather similar to the 840s, just slightly tighter bass and a little more open in the mids. The largest difference is comfort and seal, and they fit the T50RPs perfectly, as if they were made for them.

*** I will update these two lists so people can see how close we are to 20 here ***
 
** I will release a final cost later too so this list doesn't bind you to anything yet ***

Any update on this? I have not seen anything in terms of cost, etc.

So, the HE-300 pads are different than the HE-400 pads?  The HE-400 pads have an underlying black plastic frame with 4 tabs that insert into a circular area of the cup.  I suspect maybe all of the pleather pads from HifiMAN are the same, but they "roll" onto the plastic frame?  Unfortunately, my HE-400s are with HifiMAN at the moment, so I can't test out my thoughts to prove if they're correct or not.
 
I do see the pleather pads on Head-Direct for $20, but they don't specify for which headphone, so I'm assuming this could be for all of their models and used universally.

Ah, I just messaged Werner before you posted this. He did give me a quote last time we spoke but I don't know anything in regards to blabbing in the thread.

That's them, they're the same leather/pleather pads for all models. You take them off the black plastic frame and stretch them on. They're about as tough to put on as the 840s, which is not very.

Thanks. Will spare me the struggle to try getting them on again....

They look great, IMO.

I have tried the Hifiman earpads on my T50rp (See post here) but my result was not positive like your. Like I said I didn't changed my headphone configuration just removed the Shure pads and installed the Hifiman. One thing is they do fit really well.

 

[headphonatic]

Has anyone tried the HIfi-man velour pads, I need something that has less bass and more mids than the Shure SRH840 pads. Also, how do they fit?

 

[GoldWarlock]

As a side note, I put stock T50 pads on my AKG 271 and like them a lot. Brought some lows in AKG which was welcomed
They fit nicely, even though original AKG pads were circular and T50 are oval.
