Why this official replacement pads from Oppo AU look like third party pads

Has anyone tried Brainwavz ProStock on PM3? From the size it seems very close to the PM3 stock pads. 105 mm high, 84 mm wide, 23 mm thick (without plastic clip), 57 mm inner length, 35 mm inner width. Maybe just a slightly smaller inner width.

I'm happy with my lucky pick from Amazon.
Tried to get them a second time, but I've received the "ordinary" flat 3rd party pads.

Maybe it was a fault by the seller for the first pair, but they're much better then all I've seen by now.

I need to upgrade my pads too, the ones with the pair I have are starting to fall apart. I'm not sure which ones to get but I'm hoping for the following:

1. More cushiony. I don't experience any clamping but the stock pads push my ears flat after a while and it gets uncomfortable after long sessions.

2. Slightly more oomphy bass.

3. If leather, maybe real leather? Something durable at least.

Using sheepskin leather which will be more durable. One of the people who bought it in a review measured that the pads are a little thicker than stock, that might solve your problem. And thicker pads will usually improve bass due to a better seal. @voicemaster Also bought it and said it was more comfortable than the original pads.
Actually I am very interested in these pads, but unfortunately I can't stand the long wait for shipping to my country (about 1 month).

I am happy withe the Brainwavz pads. It is a chore to stretch them over the cups, but the results are fine.

I also had to buy a zipper type hradband cover.

I am very happy with these Koekje. Not the cheapest pads around, but definitely high quality.

Any ideas roughly how much it costs?

50 Euro for the standard version when I bought them. There is extra cost if you want suede, alcantara, and/or angled version.

Oof, next to not being cheap I'm mainly concerned with all the options. I have no idea which options I should pick.

I took standard leather, in orange color (being a Dutchie).

I'm requesting a quote from them now, this is my current plan: https://imgur.com/a/n9ZydCt

I just hope they can make the cup slightly larger and deeper while maintaining (or adding some) bass.

 

[Chris Kaoss]

Some kind of Smurf pads?

Looking forward to your impressions.

I found that deeper earpads can make treble not stable (found some peaks and notch in thicker aftermarket pads). I think this is reason why stock pads is plush and let our ears touch the driver area, to maintain some resonance.
