I just saw Massdrop has Dekoni pads for Audeze LCD series up now. I'm tempted to get the velour or hybrid ones for my M1060C. The stock pads are pretty good - I just find them getting a bit warm after long session on my head in this warmer weather. I'm thinking about what effect it might have on sound signature. Velour for $40 and hybrid for $70 is part of the consideration too.
Anyone else thinking about these?
I'm going to try out the elite velours for that very reason. Plus they're cheaper.I really hope the Elite Velours turn out to be good Audeze Vegan replacements. I managed to get Vegans for my M1060 but earpads wear out eventually....

Given how the pads just attach with adhesive, swapping back and forth to test things out won't be ideal. I might rock the left side stock and right side Dekoni pad for a while. Don't judge me.
Dekoni Audeze pads $39.99 for a vegan alternative.

My Dekoni Elite Velour pads just arrived and initial impressions are fantastic. Thank god for removable cables, because I accidentally put the first pad on backward so had to switch which ear cup was the right/left side.
Comfort wise I am glad to have fabric earpads as leather/pleather ear pads have never been my favorite. An additional bonus I had not anticipated though is that these pads are a bit thicker than default so I am getting significantly better clamp force. As a glasses wearer, these pads also contour around my glasses frames significantly better, first full-size headphones where I feel like I am not even noticing my glasses. Now I am just hoping some sort of headband upgrade comes along and I could see myself actually wearing these all day.
Sound-wise I don't notice a ton of difference, but I do find them a bit easier to listen to. With default pads I found the sound to be kind of aggressive and tiring after awhile. The 1060c just feel a lot more laid back/natural with the Elite Velour pads. Isolation feels pretty similar to stock pads.
