The velours were already on mine when I got them. I believe the former owner ordered them from Amazon.....I want to say that they are Beyer DT250 pads, but I am not 100% sure on that.
It's worth noting that the velours soften the impact of both some of the higher pitched sounds that get to some people, and a little bit of the bass impact. But corrections can be made if desired, of course, with EQ, or an amp's bass boost circuit, etc.
And yeah, I figured the velour pads would change the sound - not meaning to put them on the HFI-780 though. Want to try something on another ovoid shaped headphone.
EDIT
Welp - nevermind that idea. Looks like the headphones I wanted to put them onto mount their pads differently, and these probably wouldn't attach. *sigh*
Sitting here listening to my Pro 900's, and these headphones are constantly surprising me. Some nights I'll be listening and I'll hear it sound completely different than it ever has. I can't wait til I get my SP.
Not to spam this thread, but I've started another concerning the differences between Ultrasone's high-end offerings. It can get pretty confusing some of the conflicting ideas out there, so I was hoping it could potentially organize different people's impressions.

Be weary.. the Signature Pros will not have that initial wow factor that the Pro900s have because the emphasis on the bass and treble are much more neutral. So on first listen don't just throw them aside - you really appreciate the SP with a little head-time.

Yeah... I'm aware, and most likely I'll keep my 900's for electronic stuff (and if my ears haven't been tortured enough lately; I think they're masochistic).
I have a friend who I duly impressed with my Ultrasones a couple weeks back, and I found out recently he's going to be leaving the state soon to go back home with his family. As a going away/birthday present I was going to get him a pair of HFI-450's since I know he'll probably never spend the money himself, lol.
That's right, a pair of Alienware Ozma 7's AKA Ultrasone HFI-700's, already burnt in and including Beyer velour pads pre-installed! And for a little under 90 dollars shipped. Awesome deal, it's basically what happened when I bought my first pair. Minus the extra pads.
Between this and the 580's I got my other friend for Christmas (luckily before the price hike), I'm starting to feel like UltraSanta. (Someone please draw that.)

That's nice for you to do something like that. You are very likely correct that he would probably not buy something like this on his own. No matter how much money someone may have, some simply do not know how to enjoy life. Hope he enjoys them and every once in a while when he is listening to his music, he just may think of you. That's nice.
Well it does look very interesting, and I'm in Aus but I'm actually on savings mode as I just found myself an internship/partime job and I'm waiting for some good sales to start making profit...
