Have you tried the older Tia Fourte? If you have a chance to compare both will be great.

I have tried it multiple times before in the past, but not with TP.

Fourtre sound signature is not for me though as I found it a bit too bright for my taste.

I've not used the tera player for a couple of weeks but gone back to it today. Sounds incredible

Mine have been languishing as well during the shelter order. I've been using my full size DAC/amp while working from home. I'm looking forward to getting mobile with the Tera.
Same with me, not used it due to lockdown. I've been using heavier daps such as the n8

I've been using Future Sonics' MG5s with my Tera. They are a very synergistic match. Take a look at this FR graph:

I think that the rolled off frequency extremes on the Tera are offset by the recessed mids of the MG5s, resulting in a much flatter response.

I replaced the stock cable with a PW Audio Blackicon silver cable today. It's a clear step up.

I want to make my Koss Porta Pro even more comfortable and I am wondering if anyone knows where to buy the custom fabric sleeves made for them. I saw lots years ago online.

Not custom, but I'm currently using SleepPhones for casual iPhone YouTube use.

You just snap off the PP, remove foam (i guess optional) and insert into opening from the back. It holds in place, but I add sound isolation material behind the Koss drivers for better stability:

The non-fleece version is more comfortable:

ignore the "wireless". Just an example...

Wish HiFlight still did mods. No impressions as I haven't rolled them out into production yet, but I believe the bass is still there. It's just a thin cloth from driver to ear so SQ shouldn't change much if at all.

Edit: Re-read the question. You maybe looking at traditional headphone pads so just ignore if that is the case.
