Link was good when I posted it. Checked it twice, and was listed as in stock. Guess they hadn't updated their online listings?

The vendor still stocks the Aiva, and a bunch of Aiva cables.

I think I saw their listing (MusicTeck) on Amazon, which said they were out of stock.

Edit.
Just check my order thru AliExpress, looks my ear pads order is on about a 7 days backordered.

I found a new pair back on Amazon this weekend. Ordered and can compare them against the HE-400i and Fidelio X2HR/27 I use as my daily headphones.

After all these ear pad swaps and modifications I haven't still tried Sendy Aiva pads. Maybe I should finally order and test them This is still good quality headphone if u are willing to pay a bit extra from new pads and maybe do some modifications. If you are mod nerd like me you can get it sound like 800€ HP or better. It just tuning frequency response and dynamic for better and to your liking.

I actually prefer the sheepskin 1060c pads over the aiva, but both are good.

It may be the same to me but I have to try them atleast I'll post comparison between HI3050 (not modded) and maybe with my modded HF580. Its not big deal anyway to remove all the tape and put it back.

The SendyAudio Aiva ear pads arrived a few days ago, just installed the pads (did not take as long as I thought it would).
Realised I had put each pad on the opposite headphone. did not take long to fix.
Now have to go thru music collect, see if I hear a difference.

Just received my Sendy Aiwa pads from Ali. Still have to figure out how to replace the original Takstar pads. Someone did it already? Tell me how to do it. I don't want to damage anything. Thanks.

I slowly go around the edge, using the tip of something (like a paper clip) to get the pad attached to the headphone.

Check your spare set of pads, should have a mounting ring in them. Just remove the pad and place the ring in the aiva pads, gonna need to tape it as the aivas are pretty loose fitting. Current pads on your 580 are snap in mounted with the same mounting ring. You can kinda just pull them out. I have 4 sets of these rings so I just yank them off, but I did crack one ring doing this. Still usable though.

I'm getting soon my Sendy Audio ear pad. Hoping it does not disapoint but who knows. I think even it would not sound good as M1060 sheepskins it could still have some nice potential for different modification.

less comfy less bass imo. overall sq is probably better though.

I'm listening now. My first impressions is it have more upper frequencies and more bass than cheap China pleathers. Quite snappy sounding. Good microdetails. Second listening: China pleathers sound more muddy now. Need to listen now with original grey pads. First impressions it sound better that it looks and comfort is good.

Edit. They are not really memory foam and it's quite shame they costed 25€ with shipping included.

Edit2. First measurement. They are quite same as original fabric ear pads. Bass to middle to treble is quite same tonally. But upper treble has bigger differenties. I kinda like how they sound because it's very crisp sounding but not make my ears dizzy. As you can see in the photo that original ear pads has lower upper treble but high treble is more promiment.

I'm not even doing second listening. I only measured with my precious modded HF580. Not sure what caused it but the bass seems anemic and upper frequencies spikey. It seems worth if u have unmodified headphone.
