what problems appear if you change ear pads? I assume you’re talking about changing to the leather ones?

Vinneta comes with two pairs of ear cushions. And I meant that they can complement each other, but no ear cushions are universal. For example, you want more bass and body, so you get leather ear cushions, but in this case, the resolution, the soundstage, the treble are degraded. You take velour ear cushions and now there's no bass, no weightiness, the timbres are poorer. I don't like that. I like balanced and versatile headphones where I don't have to change anything to listen to all (or most) genres without problems.

Does anybody know where you can source replacement pads for the magni in the UK? Official pads are nearly $100 to ship!!!!

Any Brainwavz pads that will fit?

There is one very important thing to consider about these headphones. These headphones are completely transformed after the burn-in procedure. If the headphones are brand new, you may get a distorted impression of them. This is the experience that I have had as well. So all my negative comments about Vinneta in previous posts should be ignored. And by the way I can blame it on the Kennerton managers who didn't provide a fully audition-ready model at the demo stand. After I bought these, then warmed them up for a few days, I got a completely different sound. It's not just polishing the sound, no. It's a completely different sound.

At first the sound was very unstable, it varied from genre to genre or album to album. You could get harsh sound, muddy and unpleasant treble in some places, screaming vocals, flat soundstage, etc. The sound was very compressed. After the warm up stage, it was like I did an unzip of the sound. The headphones opened up like a flower. Very rich timbres, lots of body in the instruments, the soundstage had volume and geometry, improved positioning and presentation, and I could list more. The headphones have become completely versatile, which is one of the most important things for me. Excellent resolution is now audible even with the greasiest of leather ear cushions. But if you have a good, juicy tube amp, you're guaranteed to fall into the music for hours on end.

Wow. I can now safely put these headphones in the Kennerton TOP. Musical, technical, rich, natural, engaging, stunning.

As far as I know, a guy in this thread also bought these headphones and they are coming to him soon. Let's wait for his impressions.

@fullbass I think this one is directed at you since I don’t actually have my pair yet.

I don't have HLP in my hand for that kind of comparison.
