The cloth pads should make quite a difference to the sound...wonder which version will sound better.
Indeed, it's hard to imagine they wouldn't impact the sound. Certainly my experiences "pad rolling" on Beyer headphones led me to believe that pads can have a very significant impact on sonics. And let's not forget the (in)famous "pad fix" to the Ultrasone Edition 10
I don't like velour pads though, so there would have to be a strong consensus that they were an improvement before I would try them.

I think the bass response may be affected with the Vegan option, but of course this is just conjecture. When I place the LCD-2's on my head I notice that the leather pads make a tight seal to my skin and this influences the bass I experience. When the seal is tight I can feel air moving in my ears. I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this.

I think Hifiman made velours work with their orthos by having vinyl right under the velour material to keep them sealed.
So... did any of you who ordered get a shipping notice yet?
