I see a Mongolian man in traditional garb calling his tamed bird of prey from afar. He has no need of the dekons, but looks on with what seems like interest.You know it.

There’s a trick to it (you actually do have to twist like in the photo), I had trouble with the pads seeming stuck the first time I took them off. You have to pop out the flat side of the D-shape, and then rotate the flat side over the curved diameter of the pads, and then they just come off easily.
I recorded a how-to video, doing a voice over and I’ll post the vid tomorrow on Instagram and Facebook. I’m doing a couple of these short vids, but it’s surprisingly hard to time a voice over after the fact.
I find the sonic changes to be minimal on the open headphones, but sometimes the sound is a tiny bit more direct with the sheepskin pads. I like the HD 800 stock pads, but I’m more used to the feeling of Velour used in the Dekoni pads. The Dekoni pads are noticeably thicker, and a bit squishier, which I think is more comfortable. I got both my HD 800 and Dekoni pads before becoming an industry insider, and the Dekoni pads were much less expensive than the stock pads. I know some people swear by either pad, and people should pick whichever sounds most appealing.
@Phuca, did your pads get damaged? Dekoni has a lifetime warranty, they might be able to help from their website.

I think I was supposed to remove my stock Sennheiser pads the same way as the Dekoni pads, to be honest I noticed I had creased the clear plastic on the back of my Sennheiser pads after removal.
I know there’s a lot of love for schiit on head fi but the couple times I’ve tried their amps they sounded thin and bright.Ugh, I'm finding the Schiit Jotunheim to be a little bit too bright with the 800S, even after equalizing with Sonarworks. Anything to help with this aside from replacing the Jot? I think if I listen to certain songs, particularly with female vocals, for a long time I'll either be in pain or will have to really lower the volume. That's not good.

The Sennheiser literature says the HDVA 600 converts single ended input into balanced throughout the amp stages.I agree about Schiit stuff. I've got a NJC Audio Reference II which provides a lot of gain but I can't help wondering if a balanced amplifier work better (provide more bass). I'm thinking of either a Lake People RS 08 (very expensive for me), CMA600i (issues about clicking sounds) or a HDVA 600 with a balanced DAC. It's not clear whether the HDVA 600 can output balanced with only a single-ended input from the DAC.
Dual xlr input exist on the rear of hdva600..... or a HDVA 600 with a balanced DAC. It's not clear whether the HDVA 600 can output balanced with only a single-ended input from the DAC.
