New Head-Fier
Hi, i want to buy an open back headphone with a wide soundstage mostly for single player gaming on PS4 but also to watch great quality Blu Ray and i don't want to spend much.
I'm ready to get the Superlux HD681 or 681B for about 29 euros but i know they require a change of pads. My issues are:
1- I can't stand round pads, i don't like the pads touching my ears and oval ones are just too comfortable.
2- I can't really find pads to buy except overpriced velour Brainwavz pads on amazon. Thomann has other pads for cheap but the shipping costs are insane: 20 euros for anything...even 10 euros pads.
There's another issue, which has to do with the PS4 controller not being able to drive headphones with an impendance higher than 32ohm. The HD681 are 32ohm and as far as i know no one's had any low volume problems with them on PS4. That also leaves me almost with no options.
Unless i can find some XL round pads that will absorb my ears i was thinking of using the fake leather oval pads i have or to buy some oval velour pads from amazon if i can find them(the Brainwavz oval pads are cheaper than the round ones).
Could the oval pads fit on the HD681 and how would they affect the sound?
