Since i never had nothing else than pleather and grado sandpaper, i wrote velour cause i have a velour velour vest and i like her a lot...yeah pretty bad argument

BTW for those who have a pair of real leather pads, do you think it might be worth a try to pass from pleather to good leather with my K81DJ. Cause i know a leather shop who can give me good price for a job like this.

If so i might get it done and give you my impression afterall.

Velour soaks up on sebum and dandruff flakes hah.

 

[vapman]

wicked good leather feels nice...but it does get sweaty and stuff, so i have to go with velour. nothing feels better than velour on the 880's :]

 

[lmilhan]

I like the feel of velour pads more, they are more comfortable for me, they don't make me sweat and they don't stick to my face.

I drool over the thought of my STAX Lambda Pros with velour pads...

Leather or velour are both good for me.

- JUST SAY NO TO PLEATHER

Pleather or leather over velour as well, velour last a lot less, and tends to get dirty easily, and the cleaning is a pain in the arse. I ruined two of the Senns HD600 pads trying to wash them, sorry but I'm obsessed with the cleaning and those do not support my stress...On pleather/leather you just get a wet cloth, Purell, and bingo...now I'm trying again velour on the PROlines, with al ot more care, but they offer a couple as spare, and I got an extra couple, so for now I'm done in case of dirt anyway...

Just a simple math in my case, HD600 pads lasted for three months, OTOH the CD3000 pads lasted for 5 years...

BTW about the animal skin argument, animals were created by God to serve a purpose, and us the humans...what else can a goat do, other that give us the skin and milk, just create more goats???

velour. soft, fuzzy, soft. not quite as classy as leather, but still softer

Like many here, I love the plush feel of good velours - especially the K701 and DT880 variety; the AD2000's velours, though, are less than plush, even with extra padding.

However, I prefer the look of leather. I just don't care for it on my ears.

If you really want to get technical, "skin" is under synonyms and you looked at a thesaurus, not dictionary.

Take that, treehugger. And, please take your soapbox elsewhere.

VELOUR!
To be fair, ive only tried pleather

But i don't think it really gets that much better than DT880 (i had HD580)

CD3000 is pleather iirc and I didn't like it as it got sticky really easily compared to velour.
