I have used the most pads for hd6 series from Drop , Yaxi , Dekoni , Brainwavz , i even make a custom pads with slow memmory foam and stock sennheiser rings. All of then Change the sound for me thats a fact.even the drop "velour pads"? so that means it would change sound signature away from Sennheisers tuning once you replace them with the drop pads?
so the best course of action is to buy original sennheiser pads to keep the tuning correct to what Sennheiser intended rather than using drop pads.
The original Sennheiser pads are build eay different than any other pad that i have tried .... Original Sennheiser pads are hybrids with velur outside and artificial leather inside around the plastic ring , they use a specific type of foam that is NOT memmory foam or gel its a kind o fast foam that reacts fast to any press so it goes back to the form fast , also its a kind of foam that is high air penetrated more than most foams that i have used , all that make the original pads unique and hard to replicate .
Pads that are used on 6xx are the classic black ring pads , the New ones that Sennheiser use on New 600 650 660s are using stiffer foam and the ring inside is a see through plastic .
Also the Velur that is used on Original pads is also way different than any other velur pads that i tried , its way better quality for many reassons ( in my opinion) and original pads doesnt have Stitches around the vellur that is touching our face ( most pads have stitches that touch the face) .
I have make posts on 660s topic about those pads , i even tried custom Hybrid leather velur angle pad like Sundara pads and again didnt worked like originals.
Some people prefer the changes on sound from aftermarket pads and thats personal taste , other than that no the sound is not the same ... Unless if anyone can find an aftermarket pad that is build like the originals.
If anyone cares i tried to use the original foam used by Sennheiser the one that air pass more easy with different velur materials and also didnt worked , this is the foam
