So i got my v6's from the ecost deal....and these things are NOT circumaural for beginners.

they are a lot lighter, and dont grip the top of yourhead like the 280s but due to their design the pressure is put on the ears.

after 1 hour of having these on, my ears get intese physical pain. Again cuz they dont cover the ears and just sit atop them.

when i put on the 280s is like another level of comfort (yeah, how pathetic is that!?!

) and my ears arent huge either....thats the thing.

whats up with that?

Two words: Beyer pads.

Edit: What I mean to say is, get some Beyer 250 pads (you can do a search, this comes up all the time) to replace the stock V6 pads, and then they're pretty comfy. I've been able to get much more use from my V6s since I got the Beyer pads.

i think there are quite a few people who would share that opinion actually. :cough:big eared freaks

:cough:

edit: oh yeah, i'm just kidding about the ear thing. everybody's ears are different. some just don't vibe with the v6s i guess.

I have read the instructions to change to the Beyer pads but it does not seem all that easy to do. Actually, how difficult is it to change the pads?

 

[SunByrne]

Hmm, yep, that doesn't jibe with my experience. Though nothing I've worn so far is as comfy as the CD780s...

I didn't think the Beyer pads would change the feel of the V6 so much, but I was mistaken! I ordered the pads from Beyer (around $25) and looked at my $50 V6 - spending half the cost of the cans on new pads irked me a bit, so I demanded an improvement. After the 15 minute project (I found great directions on this site; do a search for v6+beyer+instructions) I was completely surprised! The most obvious enhancement is that the 'phones become circumauaral; they now surround one's ears rather than simply sit atop them. This makes the cans WAY more comfortable, and the velour material actually helps the cans "breathe" better than the pleather. I now admit that the $25 investment for the Beyer pads was a worthwhile one, as it has allowed me to watch the Godfather I & II in one sitting without becoming uncomfortable; the stock pads would have grown too hot and annoying halfway through the first Godfather!

i still think hd280s are more comfortable

 

[Jasper994]

I would agree, if you get past the break-in period where they feel like a damn headclamp, the 280's are very comfortable.

First, is there any other supplier of Beyer pads than Beyer?

Second, does order just "Beyer pads" or is their a specific model number associated with them.

Third, how can it be that they make the V6 circumaural? After all, the pads are the same size (in terms of inner and outer diameter as the original V6 pads, no? So, if the V6 didn't fit, it would seem that neither would these. Or am I missing something?

mine are circum-aural, but i guess i have smaller ears. they grip my head well and such

but thats just me.
