The momentums are decent headphones and not catered to explicitly for the hip-hop market. A tad bit I'd say but that is it.

Yes, in fact they are garbage. Mine can't hold the metal from touching my head after a year of hard use and are totally indented on the tops. That is exactly what I call useless, hence, the term crappy.

Is there a mod that can be done to thicken the pads?

Why not just buy a set of new pads from Beyer?

Does Beyer sell replacement pads for the 1350s?  If so, why are there so many people griping about and dissing these portable on-ears?

You may want to add YMMV to the end of that statement.
 
Over a year on mine with every day use, and the earpads are perfectly fine.  Good comfort, good seal, and no issues with metal touching my head.

And if you're using them so much and so heavily that the pads only last a year then its worth the effort and cost to replace them regularly...

Thanks!  Have people here used the velour pads on the 1350s?  What effect do the velour pads have on the sound of the 1350s?

Do you have the link for the headband pads?

 

[wrightanswer@ear]

Sorry, no link. But I was told over the phone by the product manager at Beyer that ear pads AND headband pads are available. I don't need them presently so I didn't ask him about where exactly to get them, but I just wanted to be sure they'll be available for future needs. And I was talking to him about the Facelift version of the DT1350 at the time.

 

[Chris Zhang]

so what changes did they made to fhe facelift version?any diffence of the sound?

The headband pads look like they are glued onto the metal bands.  Applying the adhesive and attaching the thin strips of leather pads on those split-headbands is going to be difficult.

Actually, the pads are attached to the black plastic wrapped around the metal bands. Replacing the headband padding will probably mean replacing the plastic parts with the attached pads and looking at it I don't think it would be very difficult.
