I bought a
second one as it seems to be able to accommodate many of my headphones. @bwardrop thank you once again for sharing such a great find!
Just brought one! Thanks!

Bought one and now I'm wondering if I should have bought 2.Bought 2
Granted the MSRP seems a bit absurd, but this price almost seems like a price error.

Yea, I thought for that price, I can use it for a few pair of headphones as long as they ship and the order doesn't get canceled lol.
Bought one, thanks.
If anybody is looking for a different Comfort Strap solution, Capra Audio has some available on their Etsy store:

That's a cheaper solution than the ZMF Copilot pad I installed on mine.
Sooooo.... I've tried out the WickedCushions and Defean Pads, and i went back to Stock Pads xd
Changed the Position of the Headband (Left top holes, right mid holes) which made them more comfortable for me, ears are still touching the driver housing a little bit, but way less noticable. Also they now sit way more secure on my head when moving around
Defean Pads were absolute bad for me, they destroy the sound in my opinion and weren't even comfortable.
The Wickeds were really good in case of sound but that extra clamp force paired with that stiff/hard cooling gel killed them for me. +That gel felt weird in the beginning and lost it's cooling ability really quick, maybe i'll try a pair of their pads again if they release some without cooling gel^^
Soundwise they do some things and not that little in my opinion. Ofc bass got a bit boosted due to the bigger room, treble was nearly the same (Maxwells aren't that harsh peaking anyways), but the midtones just had something off, i cant really tell but some voices sounded too forward and sometimes like they were recorded through a "tube", i could fix it with EQ tho

Nobody talks about this but the imaging is noticeably worse on the WC compared to stock. I stopped using my WC a while ago because of this.
The case sale is not a price mistake. Your orders will be shipped.

Sorry that recommendation did not work out for you! Yeah clamp force is increased, but for me that was offset by not having my ears touch the inside of the cup. As to sound & soundstage differences, I was able with very minimal EQ to get the earphones where I wanted them, which wasn’t a big deal to me since I needed to EQ even with stock pads.Sooooo....

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the Maxwells regardless of what pads you settle on!

It's quite normal. Was suppose to purchase 2 pieces as well but the shipping cost threw me off (more expensive than the item). So for now will just settle with my cheap hippoCases
