" ... These earpads met up to my expectations, they are soft, made of good material, and are definitely worth the $20. ... "
" ... A little tight fit, but worth it. ... "
" ... These are so great and comfortable. ... They completely solved my issue of ear ache/ headaches, that the originals were giving me. ... "

" ... As far as audio difference - I haven't noticed much change. ... "
" ... These were easy to get on the headphones. ... "
" ... So the slight change in the sound stage was a plus along with the increase in comfort level. ... "
" ... Sound much less warmer and more detailed. ... "
" ... The sound difference from the stock pads to these is negligible. ... "
" ... Materials feel good and isolate ambient noise well. ... "
" ... The added distance between your ear and the driver, the Velor and the space inside the pads really dampen the sound. ... "
" ... Major sound leakage which doesn't bother me at all. ... - Sound is certainly impaired from original design . ... "

" ... These were easy to get on the headphones. ... "

" ... These earpads met up to my expectations, they are soft, made of good material, and are definitely worth the $20. ... "

" ... What I wasn't expecting was absolutely zero bass and a huge increase in harsh highs. ... "
" ... Bass went down markedly. ... "
" ... I'm not an audiophile and can't provide an in depth sound quality review, but I did notice that the bass seems to less punchy but like another review mentioned, it could just be something that fiddling with the EQ settings can fix. ... "
" ... It does change how the headphones sound but its not a bad change as bass is a little more noticeable without the foam insert. ... "
" ... Slightly less bass, but that isn't a bad thing. ... "
" ... The bass is not as strong to me anymore. ... "
" ... The pads will change the soundstage due to it being deep pads as well as increase the bass a bit. ... "
" ... The bass is a bit diminished but the sound stage feels wider, which I prefer. ... The change in bass does not bother me after two weeks of listening, however, I still prefer the sound of my DT 990s, which have ample bass and a great sound stage. ... "
