^^ Now that's funny.

Okay...theoretically if "some company" was considering developing pads for the hifiman series/he400 would there be a wish list of criteria that you'd like to see in the production of them?
 
Things to consider:
 
*pad material (ie velour, leather pleather
 
*depth 
 
*price point
 
*inner diameter of the pad
 
Pipe in!! Don't be shy.

"Some company"????
 
Matt, what are you hiding from us? Who is making them???

Ok Lets see...
 
-Velour
-deep
-under 100 bucks (the less the better of course)
-dont really care
-but easy to swap! ( I kind of like the Ultrasone system... its quick and easy)

About the pads, as long as they are comfortable and well made. Its also important they don't get sweaty. Price doesn't matter, I'm willing to pay a premium for quality.

Easily washable.

Reasonable international shipping.

Labelled Left and Right like the AKG K550 pads ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/visuellegedanken/6882852138/ )
- maybe in a slightly different location due to the different design of the HE-400s

Of course, I don't even have my pair of HE-400's yet, but I'm liking the look of angled pads. Based on listening to the HD598, I do like velour as material. I'm not too big on the way left and right looks on the K550's. Price should be proportional to how much it costs to make.

Honestly, the HE-4's velours would be PERFECT for the HE-400.

Pointless; Hifiman cans already have clearly labeled L/R on its joint.

@Jerg...have you had any experience with the he4 pads? 
 
I this works out, and I don't know if it will, what about the possibility of some sort of group buy at a promotional price??

I'd be in. I just hope it wouldn't take 12 weeks to get them... 6 weeks is acceptable, especially for something that's not even in production yet.

Sounds intriguing...  Depending on specifics, I'd be interested.

Now that I've got these bad boys back up and running I gotta say I still love the sound. It's also a plus that I now have a bifrost/asgard compared to the E17 I had before my first pair died. Here's to hoping these ones stay good for their lifetime.

I would be down to do that.

Just ordered the highly praised HE-400 with velour pads from Moon Audio! I can't wait to listen to them!
