So true.
BBEG I'm wondering the same thing myself! I know one pair that will fit, the Philips SHP2000. They will be a bit loose on the Somics but won't fall off or anything. The phones are like $15 and they come with thick cloth pads that are especially thick on the back side so they will clear your ears comfortably. They will also reduce the bass a fair bit however. I found the midbass reduction just right for me but the subbass was reduced too (<50Hz). I've decided to mod the phones for maximum subbass (taped inside vents, stock pads with tissue mod) and deal with the extra midbass using EQ and pad up the stock pads using tissue to deal with the comfort issue for now. Wondering where I'd find other deeper pads myself, with the added requirement that they be pleather like the stock pads or leather, since this seems to preserve the subbass response better!

HIGH-MIDS: Exceptional. From 350-700 Hz, the MH463 is unstoppable. Airy, a bit sparkly, and right at the forefront, which is exactly where they should be. The high-mids truly set this headphone apart from everything else I have heard.
