Slater
Headphoneus Supremus
Thanks for the info, Slater! I might check into those Brainwavz pads and see if there is something available for the cans I own. Only set of closed back I have is the Takstar Pro82, and funny enough, those I have the least problem with. The pads are super comfy and I can wear them for hours. My 2 open back (Grado SR225 and Massdrop Hifiman 4XX) are the ones that get the warmest for me. The foam pads on the Grado gets itchy fast and I have the new A-pads (I think that's what they call them) on the 4xx that have a velour part that sits against your head over your ear and the rest of the pad is like a pleather memory foam like material which I find gets really hot and uncomfortable after less than 30 minutes of wearing them.
Well if you do try the BW gel pads be sure to let us know how you like them. Because I’ve seen others asking about them, and it would be nice to provide them some real world impressions!
Heres the link if you wanna check them out:

They have 2 different sizes, so maybe 1 of the 2 sizes will fit your cans.
They definitely sound nice - besides the gel the pad surface is micro suede (I guess maybe like an Alcantara material).
