Solid set of headphones.

I changed my ear pads to some David Clark Model 40863G-02 gel pads and the comfort is phenominal.

Been thinking about changing my pads out. You have covers on those pads or just straight gel? They pretty easy to change?

Phenominal may have been an oversell.

The ~$20 for the new gel pads is worth it imo. Comfort is definitely increased around the ears. I can go almost all night (~8 hours) of listening without discomfort. My head would start to get sore after about 4-6 hours with the stock pads. The stock pads were comfortable at first, but I've got a LOT of listening hours on my headphones since I got them a couple months ago... I use them about 30 hours a week, so ~250+ hours on the foam pads. If you don't use the headset for prolonged (2+ hours) sessions, they should be fine. I use them for about 6-8 hours on most nights.



Yeah. It's real easy to take on/off the stock foam. These David Clark gels are a tight fit, but it didn't take me more than a minute to get each side on.

Hiro: Yah most of the people who buy them like them a lot. Frankly, my feelings about the sound quality are mixed. I can't explain in exact technical terms, I like the bass response and the fact that the frequency response is flat. But sometimes I feel they reveal too much detail. The comfort issue is also there but I would have ignored that if I liked the sound quality a lot. I like the sound signature of my Grado SR80s very much but they are unusable in quiet places like office, labs. I thought reasonably priced closed cans would never sound as good as open cans until a few days back I paid a visit to a local Best Buy store and came across the AiAiAi tma-1 DJ headphones. While I couldn't spend over 10 minutes with them and the variety of music I could listen was also limited, but I liked their sound signature and comfort. Planning to get one of these and check them out for a few days

Might be interested if you would be willing to mail them (I live in New Jersey).

Vulcan91: Let me wait for a day or 2 and see if I can find someone living nearby who might be interested. If not, I would send you a msg.
