If I may (and if it's not too late) you could order the Meze first and see if you like the sound with the stock pads, if not, the 1540 are a great options. Also, it didn't bother me because my Meze never leave the house but be aware that the 1540 pads fits on top of the cup, here' a picture.I saw some other people on Z reviews demo of the meze 99 classics that recommend the 1540 sure pads for the Mezes and it helps with the bass a lot like you said less boomy more controlled he even said better highs. I made my decision and I’m going too purchase the Mezes with the 1540 pads. Thank you for all your help I appreciate it.
