We developed these earpads for our own headphones, but they have proven to make many brands of headphones even more comfortable.  Now for the first time we have teamed up with MassDrop in an effort to sell them in bulk QTY to make them more affordable for everyone. 
 
 
Starting today, 2/15/17  we are selling:​
 ​
Ori Pads @ $49.99 (usually $59.99)
 ​
Eikon Pads @ $59.99 (usually $69.99)
 ​
It took an incredibly long time to find the "right" formula for the ZMF earpad line.  I tried tons of different types of foam and configurations along with different thicknesses of leather, ear-hole shapes/sizes and types of attachment ring material.  I can proudly say I think our pads are the best!  I am very biased haha!

 ​
The headphones I know Ori Pads work on (they will work on many more):​
 ​
Hifiman (with their ring)​
ZMF's​
Foster headphones like th900, th610, thxx, emu etc​
Mr Speakers​
 ​
and many other headphones with a typical circular shape from 3.9 to 4.25 inches in diameter.​
 ​
The Headphones I know Eikon Pads will work on:
 ​
Audeze​
Mr Speakers​
Foster​
Hifiman​
 ​
Any headphones with a circular diameter from 4 inches to 4.5 inches​
 ​
You can also make these pads fit headphones that are not circular they will stretch well.​
 ​
More info is on the MassDrop page and I'll try to answer any questions here!​

Hey Zach, this is great news!

Can you point me to a resource that shows how each pad affects FR? All of your pads are comfortable, I just need to know which one's tuning is best for me!

Thanks!

  Would these fit on Denon D2000s?

 
Yes they fit Denon D2000/5000/7000 and the other foster headphones.

Unfortunately we don't have a resource that shows how each pad sound son various headphones.
 
I can tell you though that the Eikon pad keeps the ear a touch closer to the driver and the Ori a bit further.  Ori will have a touch more impact and ambience/treble sizzle.

Which pad do you think will sound the most neutral for my Oris?

Ori pads are fantastic with the Fostex line. I've also heard the Eikon pads are as well, but haven't personally tested them yet (soon!).

Ooh, nice. I was looking to get one of these for my E-MU's, but wasn't sure which to go with...and I'm still not sure which to pick up. Anyone have experience on how these impact the Teaks?

Just to be clear, what are the exact differences between the Ori and Eikon pads? Is one set angled while the other is flat, or what? I know that non-angled pads are what work best for my modded Beyerdynamic T5p's.
