Yes, I asked If the SE-monitor 5 has similar soundstage to HD800 as for soundstage comparison.. I just told to not recommend me any open-backs because I don't like them, that's all...

Actually you said "Never talk to me about open-backs, only for closed-backs!!"
Which to me just sounds totally agressive and standoffish.
I simply don't think that's the best way of getting free information.
I hope you find what you're looking for.
What? Have a Tera player in the past and considering other daps better makes my fussy? Can you explain your statement?Good to hear that from you, considering how fussy you are
Hello, I never heard a HD800, my he 400i planar open back are similar in stage dimensions, the rest the pioneer is clearly better, with the sp2000 the sound is in the right distance, is not thin and distant sound, good layering, I heard at 90 to 100 in Se on sp2000cu and it was loud for me, no distortion, and when the owner of them was listening I only heard leakage when he tooked the phones of its head

Could someone who owns these tell me what the diameter (in mm) of the earpad is please?
I'm trying to find affordable replacement pads for future reference. Thanks.

Whatever man...Your loss.
Don't get me wrong I wasn't even talking about the Tera Player. I was saying that is kind of hard for you to like something, and I am the same, so I am glad that you like the closed back Pioneer.

A hi-fi dealer in the UK told me that Pioneer said the SEM5 has been discontinued.
I'm glad that I was able to purchase a brand-new one from somewhere (still waiting for it to be delivered).

Welcome to the club. 
Btw.
The Dekoni Elite Sheepskin could fit the SEM5 perfectly bc they're a bit taller than the pads of my D7200.

Cool, I've just bookmarked the webpage for them. Also I don't know if anyone has seen these yet but someone from China is selling SEM5 ear pads on Amazon for £27 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/MiCity-Replacement-Cushions-Se-Monitor5-Headphones-black/dp/B085VS3BPD), the quality is most likely inferior to the Dekonis but the seller claims they are "the same as the stock pads and don't change the sound"...
UPDATE:
Received the SEM5s today and listening to them now, they are certainly not a closed version of the SEM1 (I wasn't under the impression they were btw). Already noticing fine details in my favourite songs that I've never noticed before, even with the SEM1s. You can hear the bass more on the SEM1 but with the SEM5 it sounds more even across the frequency spectrum (hence Monitor lol). I might end up liking these more than the SEM1, especially because I can use them all times of the day despite how noisy my environment gets. So far so good!
