The graph Dekoni shows of the sonic changes from the suede earpads compared to the stock velour pads looks like EXACTLY what I heard when I tried the Brainwavz suede pads vs the original stock pads... massively bloated bass and low-mids, with sucked-out upper-mids and a lot of the treble sucked out too, resulting in a very dark and muffled sound. This is likely due to the suede being a much more sheer material that seals tightly against the head... I've noticed much more isolation from outside noise with the Brainwavz suedes vs the stock pads.
Of course, results may vary depending on your ears and the shape of your head, especially when it comes to the seal aspect. But that is what the Brainwavz suede pads sounded like to ME, and I found the sound so dark and muffled that it was actually unbearable for my tastes. And as I said, the graph Dekoni now provides for their suede pads matches up perfectly with what I heard from the Brainwavz suede pads.
Dekoni needs to offer velour pads for these so that we finally have a true replacement for the stock earpads. I have no idea why they are offering these in any material BUT the material of the original stock pads. I think we should start a campaign for Dekoni to make velour pads for the X2's... obviously a LOT of us here and elsewhere would buy them, and it would be a very profitable venture for Dekoni to offer pads as close to the original stock pads as possible. The thing is, I have NO idea how to start such a campaign. But I would love to see this happen... if Dekoni makes these pads in velour, I will definitely buy them. I already tried (a couple days ago)( messaging a Dekoni sponsor who I chat with on here because he's also a Sennheiser sponsor, but he never replied to me about this.
