Headphoneus Supremus
I've had mine for a little over a week now. The looks have grown on me somewhat, they look good sitting on their stand on my desk, so I am not going out of my way to replace the headband right away. On the other hand I am avoiding looking at myself in the mirror while wearing them, because they look like orthopedic headphones...I look like I am wearing prescription headphones, man! I love the padded headband @theangelboy made for his, that looks really cool and comfortable... but I don't have access to a sewing machine, so that's not in the works either.
The pads I have on them are the HM5 Hybrid. They are the regular flats, not the angled, so to create more space in the cups I added some foam backer rod, that's why they look so thick in the pictures. I'd like to put a set of the Dekoni Elite Velours on them, but I'm just not in the mood to spend more money on headphones right now. (I literally had been thinking about selling some of my other headphones the day before they dropped the price on these for a few hours and I couldn't resist). I am going to buy some velours off of Aliexpress and add some backer rod to those. It won't be the same, but maybe close.
I like the way they fit, they sound really nice.... I guess I have a little more tuning I can do, but honestly I'm in no big rush to do the mods.
