It would be great if someone can sell me the spare ear pads, i really need it
Regards to volume, I'd much rather get the pot to ~4 (out of 8) to have plenty of leeway in either direction, but on low gain I'm way out of channel imbalance territory, so not a big deal for me. I could see it being a problem with a higher powered amp, but that's not so much the headphone's fault. The tradeoff is that they sound better unamped, which seems like a virtue to me. I don't know that there's any true advantage to having a higher impedance and/or lower efficiency other than that perhaps the hardware is easier to manufacture, and there's no real drive to get it lower because if you're spending a few hundred+ on headphones you're almost expected to use a good amp...which just means you're shelling out more cash. As you mentioned, if you want to use them with an amp with serious gain, there's the option to add resistance.
Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
why are people raving about these headsets? What makes them different from this:

They are the same imo.
I understand but what makes the HM5 so special that it needed a 48 page thread compared to the others. Just curious
The HM5 is easily available. You can order them internationally from Mp4nation. Plus, the Lindy wasn't yet discovered when the HM5 was launched.
That's odd as the threads if anything started earlier with the Lindy's. I don't know if the people who tested them out are from the USA (Please confirm if you are). But these cans have been massively hyped when they are all the same Yoga variants. I even asked the same question at MP4Nation asking for differences and the post was deleted.
