One day, I'll have to order new pads for my A900s from Audiocubes. My question is: since most of the audio-technica line pads (A1000, W1000, W2002) are similar in price, can I purchase a better quality (better material!) pad from a W1000 or W2002 and make it fit on my A900s? I realize the A1000 pads fit great, but I was hoping I could get some of that nicer pleather on my face from the W1000/W2002 pads...

(and if I can, would there be a change in sound/sound quality?)

^^i would like to know this too

if im not mistaken, the best ATH replacement pads for A900 is the A1000 pads.

 

[Zuerst]

The W2002 pads make of leather will fit the A900. And as far as I know, all the replacement pads for the ATs cost the same from AudioCubes...

 

[dj_mocok]

why u wanna replace the pads anyway ?

Eventually I'll need to replace the pads, as they are already starting to uh...don't know the word... crumble a bit. Basically, the pleather is starting to wear down. Besides! I think they'll look better and feel more comfortable with better pleather pads. Maybe I should order W2002 and A1000 pads and try a little pad rolling lol.

 

[dj_mocok]

could you post a new thread once you have substituted the pads with W1000 pads ? (maybe with pics ?)
i wanna know how its done and how well it fits... i might wanna change too, if its not so hard to do.

but about crumble, i think they all are sort of crumbled straight from the box.
try not to listen to it while your hair is wet, it will wear down faster i reckon.

I think I've said this many times:


THE ATH-W1000/W2002/W100 PADS WILL NOT FIT THE A-SERIES.

Could they fit with ...a modification?

 

[bangraman]

Well, you could glue them on.

What exactly prevents the W-series pads from fitting the A-series? Shape? Size?

 

[bangraman]

Size mainly.

Are the A1000 pads really different from the A900 pads )I mean in terms of quality/material)?

If the A1000 would be really higher in quality I will order a pair of A1000-pads together with my new A900 order.

Please advice,

The A1000 pads are made from artificial leather and not just PVC. The 'ear hole' is smaller though so the pads might touch your ears more.

There's no velour pads that can go on the a900 is there? I find the pleather gets kind of hot.
