REVIEW : Revisiting the Brainwavz HM5 – A Retrospective (plus bonus look at pad and cup options)

[Roderick]

Those fit but it takes a lot of stretching to get pad lips over the headphones.

Fantastic review, Brooko. I ordered a pair of these based on your revisit, and they arrived this morning. On first impressions I can see I'm not going to be disappointed with these. They're my first closed-back cans, and I have a feeling they'll be well used, especially when I'm on the road on business!

I actually still use mine quite regularly - particularly when I want a bit of isolation.  For the price, they remain one of the better buys for this type of sound sig IMO.

Actually bought this a few weeks ago and placed on Superlux hd668b. 10x Comfortballer, sound is a bit different, can't name it but bass is more thumpy I guess

Are pleather thick pads built from memory foam ?
 
I was expecting the 2 stock pair of hm5 pads to be memory foam but they don't seem like memory foam at all. Just soft foam.
 
Are those mad from real memory foam ? (that same question about velour too)
