Leather > Velour > Pleather.

I view it this way:

Good velour
Leather

crappy velour

good pleather
foam


most pleather.

Never tried leather but I do have velour pads on my HD 25-1. Sensually comfortable.

Velour disappears for the first 3hrs, then I get itchy. And it gathers dust/lint something aweful.

Leather disappears after half an hour and is (at least) lint free.

It is leather for me.

[edit]BTW, I expect velour to win simply because of the higher velour to leather headphone ratio, also pleather does not equate leather.

That's an easy one. Velour. I've never come across a leather ear pad that has'nt made my ears hot after hours of listening.

If it was socially acceptable, I would drape myself in velour. ^_^

I can only compare velour to pleather and in that comparison there is no contest, velour wins in a landslide. I have a feeling, however, that real leather would easily top them both.

I am going to have to say Leather. As long as its real leather it really can't be beat. I much prefer the L3000 pads to the HE60.

It would probably depend on what you like more, as it seems that most of the opinions here are very personal from user to user. Have you even decided on the Beyers yet?

Well in that case, go for it. That's just another $30 out of the hundreds you'll be spending

. You'll figure out your preference, and most likely, if you prefer leatehr, you'll use your spare velour set for when it gets really hot. If you prefer the velour, you could easily sell the leather pads on these forums. You're already upgrading, so why not take it all the way? I think I remember you saying you're buying the wooden splitter and termination, so I'm sure you'd be willing to spend on the pads.

Foam... no sweaty ears here...

Velour... sweaty ears. but plush and comfy...

Pleather... sizzle...

Leather... Never tried before.

 

[Kees]

Easy: leather = sweaty ears.

 

[Anarchy965]

If I had leather pads I'd rather use those, I don't like velour. Pleather is comfortable, but sweats too much.
