Has anyone yet compared these headphones with the t5p 2nd Gen ? Would be nice to know the difference between their sound signature, comfort, details and soundstage

How much do they stretch when you put them on?

Hmmm...probably just need a half cm stretch should be fine.

I inserted some window foam on one side to angle the pads

Brainwavz angled pads are great.

I just got these and they do seem to improve the comfort (cushioning) a little as well as increase the bass impact a bit.
Without listening to any other pads, I couldn't tell you which is good or not, but I like these pads better than the original A pads.

I just put Dekoni TH900 elite sheepskin pads on my Pandora VI and they work beautifully. Perfect fit. I can't comment about the sound vs original pads because I replaced my original pads with something else long ago (the original pads teared apart after a very short while. Bad glue, I guess). However, it does sound good. Isolation is really good, and very very, and one more very, comfortable (as expected from Dekoni's sheepskin and memory foam). Also, unlike Fostex, you don't need to get extra attenuation rings for this. (It's funny that pads designed for Fostex cans don't work properly with Fostex cans unless you shell out another $14.99 for a pair of plastic rings -- it won't sound very good otherwise. But that's off topics here).

I really recommend these pads.

Dekoni TH900 elite sheepskin pads

I thought about getting those when the massdrop deal was on, but I wasn't sure on them.
Now I've heard they are good from at least one source, I might give it a try the next time it's on.

I'd like to know if Final Audio Design Pandora Hope IV (4, not 6) can use a Balanced Cable or not?

About replacement pads to improve comfort, from my reading online so far, pad from these models have been mentioned:

Shure 1540
shure 1840
dt770

In my place Shure 1540's pads are not available, would the other two fit Pandora Hope IV? Or are there any other pads that owners have tried and proven to be good fit and give better comfort over the stock pads?

We just put some on our Pandora VI's in the office and they are sooooo comfortable and sound amazing

A very worthy upgrade for these headphones.

thank you. any other suggestions?

I actually had a pair of TH900 Dekoni sheepskins lying around and threw them on my VI. Very nice. Might be the best I've found yet.

The Brainwavz pleather pads work pretty well (angled or flat).

I'd like to know the differences between Final Audio Design Pandora Hope IV vs Pandora Hope (Sonorous) VI. There is a pair of the VI for sale in my place but I've already owned the IV, wondering if it is worthy for me to sell my IV for the VI. Anyone who have compared both models can please share your insight with me?

The Sonorous IV housing is plastic, the VI is steel. This makes the bass slightly more impactful, but only slightly. The VI are much heavier, so the IV might be more comfortable for some. I almost regret buying the VI because of the weight. ZMF earpads and headband pad helped with the comfort.

thanks for your sharing Mike. Any other people have anything to add?
