What are the most comfortable pads for your full-size headphones?

I plan to do a MS-1 pad mod, so I'm looking for recommendations. And a place to buy them.

Thanks!

Very comfy, but how long did you wear them? They look like they could warm up.

As for my vote, Beyerdynamic velour.

I'll second the XB series, good call. Comfort is extremely secondary, however.

Beyerdynamic velour or leather earpads are the most comfortable IMO. Along with the AKG K601 earpads.
The Sony XB pads were a disappointment, because the room for the ear is not that big as you would think. They are deep, but not wide.

I just got the new GMP pads and I'm totally blown away! Looks like they fit the K-240 series and the Beyer DT 770/880/990. They also fit my Fostex T-20, and maybe there are more hps that the GMP pads can fit that I'm not aware of.

I find the Stax SR-007 pads to be über comfortable.
Fully circumaural, soft lamb leather, soft filling, ...

They can be bought here: Audio Cubes II - High Fidelity Audio Products

I like the long Comply tips on my Westone.

This is why I wanted to make it. Velour pads are 35, so I don't want to pay 95 just for the wood. I could probably make this (even with bad woodworking) for about 40-50, depending on what wood I get.

DIY'er; guilty.

Thanks for that link, but I don't want to spend 130 JUST for the pads. I'm going to have to spend more to connect it to the MS-1's. They do look nice though
