yes, please use the thicker ones as reference, thanks!!

Could I be removed from the run? Really wanted to try these out but I decided to sell my HD580 and (still in the mail!) HD650 to fund some purchases.

Any update with the pads?

 

[billinkansas]

I've been in touch with Jeremy back and forth for the last few days.
To recap: I have some old 600 pads that I can give up. I checked them against some brand new pads and the new pads were about 1/8" thicker and firmer (see post #209 above). We all concur that we want thicker pads. Jeremy would like the new pads as a pattern.

Here is our last exchange-

My response this morning:

Jeremy,

I really don't want to send my brand new $50 set of pads to their death. I have another set of pads that are on my 600's right now. They came with my 650's that I bought new a while back. I didn't think to check them for thickness, and I am away from home until Jan 5th. If they are comparable to the new ones, I guess I can give them up.

Anyhow, I'll toss our messages out in the forum thread and we'll go from there.

Thanks much!
Bill

still patiently waiting for HE60 pads

No rush. Good things come to those who wait.

If these are put together half as good as my new Grado headband, then we have a lot to look forward to!

 

[ecclesand]

Oh snap! Scratch me from the list. I just sold my HD580.

 

[120717]

So is the list full now? It says 57...so...can I pay for/order mine now?

 

[paaj]

It's not full, it has passed the treshold

You're name is on the list, so when paying time comes you'll be notified.

 

[fatman711]

so guys, what's going on with the sample pads? Anyone care to chip in?

 

[fenixdown110]

billinkansas might have a spare set to donate he says. He should be available now.

 

[billinkansas]

OK, I'm back home in KS now.

Pulled the 'middle aged' pads from my HD600 which are now about 4 years old and have had a good bit of use. They are not as thick nor as firm as my brand new set, but better than my old ones in the earlier pictures.

I will give up my brand new ones ($50 from Headroom plus the $10 Priority Mail to Canada) for a set of the new ones. I can't send them to their death for nothing. I am willing to send one of the old sets and even pay the postage to Canada to support the project.

Better yet, how about everyone who wants a set of the new pads Paypals to Jeremy $5 non-refundable earnst money. Then he can buy some new pads and people will be on the hook.

 

[marcng]

i'm in for the $5

i was thinking of sending jeremy the amount for a new pair of pads, but the $5-each idea is cool too.

 

[fenixdown110]

I'm down for chipping in.
