New Head-Fier
Have a look at the pads of my SR80x. You can buy these pads quite cheap (couple of bucks incl. shipping) at Aliexpress. These are one of the best that I know of for the SR80x; not comfortable, not really uncomfortable either. I tried the deep leather and protein pads (see picture in post 8947). I wouldn't use them. The pads przem recommends you might have similar problems because of too much depth, but I'm not sure about that. They definately have the comfort you want, but with the SR80x these pads resulted in way too much bass. I'm not familiar with the 225x and 325x, how these pads interact with them I wouldn't know (you might have a look at measured frequency plots though).
przem already described how to mod them to a removable cable; I buy such female connectors at €1,50 each, they are german quality but I forgot the name of the manufacturer (contrary to the nice connectors przem recommends, the hex nut can be used with these). There's a lot of garbage in these connectors and if price is no obstacle, you might follow przem's recommendation but then make sure they are well fixed and cannot easily be pushed inwards, especially when plugging in and out of jacks more frequently.
You might have a look too how I modded the SR80x behind the drivers. It will result in a seriously good headphone (expect a detailed, balanced sound).
In case you go for the pads in the attachment, let me know and I let you know how to attach them to your headphone without them ever falling off. Here you have a link: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000...t_main.21.21ef79d2K0jkZo&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld
I just saw these new pads that you might try as well, angled pads often have acoustic advantages and can be more comfortable.
