If you look back through my posts, I posted a pic with mine wearing some HM5 pads. A bit of on adventure getting them on since you gotta stretch them all the way over the earcups - unless you can get a pair of mounting plates - I've had no luck so far. @Baycode
also did a review of the hm5 pads and had some better pics.
Trying the hm5 pads really was the only reason I noticed the pads were glued, and comfort wise they are a step up IMO.
Thanks for the info! Even though I came from the AKG K7XX, and its fabulous pads, I never had an issue with the stock Philips pads.
Personally, I like to pad roll, so I can keep the stock pads in pristine condition in case I decided to sell them down the road. I never did this with the Philips because, at the very least, it was always going to be my go-to gaming headphone, especially once I sold the AKG.
I never swapped in the Brainwavz pads (even though I adore the pleather ones, amazingly), because the comfort of the stock X2 pads was never an issue for me.
