Got the X2HR as my first pair of actually good headphones recently, I absolutely love them. Your reviews are probably one of the main reasons I got them. Your reviews are great, keep it up!
I'm glad you like the video make sure to subscribe to my channel!!
Zeos does positive review:
The product: I'm just gonna be gon
Will Distributors ever learn?
L🤫L
true story.
Z - if you're seeing this - do you have any affiliate links for alternative dekoni vendors? This review has convinced me to check out the pads but I'd like to support the channel with my purchase :)
Zeos' studio getting more crazy by the day
I bought my X2HR in DEC2017 and your channel saved me from (what I thought was good then) ASTRO A40 and A50s. I also got the Mayflower and the Vmoda mic. My gaming and music experience was literally revolutionized. I ordered these pads and can't wait to get them. I also look forward to your updated gaming headphone/ mic/ DAC AMP video. I can't thank you enough, Zeos!
What's your opinion on the Mayflower vs Onboard sound comparison? Is it enough to notice. Especially for gaming?
Just bought the Suede pads for the X2HRs.
They. Are. Absolutely. Amazing. Love them so much, definitely worth the $50.
You convinced me to buy the X2HRs 7 months ago and now I've been convinced by you to get these pads. Like I've said before, your reviews are awesome, keep it up!
does the suede pads change the sound signature a lot? I guess not that much as the material is pretty similar to the original pad?
@Zeos Thankyou for the recommendation, I just recently purchased the "Dekoni Audio Elite Sheepskin" pads for my Audeze LCD-2C Headphones. The Dekoni Elite Sheepskin pads are extremely comfortable & sound-wise a massive upgrade over the stock Audeze fake protein leather pads that were pealing apart!
For those that is considering to get the choice leather, just FYI. The leather is a cheap thin synthetic leather. I used it for 5 months and it started peeling. It also get hot and sticky with sweat. It does add to the bass and treble, not to my liking but perhaps if you're into that you might love the sound signature. However please be aware of the bad build quality. I am getting a choice suede replacement, I believe it will be much more durable and comfortable than the choice leather since fabric like suede wont peel off like synthetic leather, I think.
@Joker. Change of plan I'm getting a senheisser pc38x instead to replace my fidelio. It is on sale right now at drop. Original price was $169 now $129. I've been using my fidelio for 5 years so I guess it is time to replace it.
About the dekoni pad for fidelio, I will never recommend the choice leather to anyone as the leather is very poorly made and it peels off too easily. Additionally, it is not as comfortable as the original pad. It doesn't worth the 60 dollars price tag in my opinion.
I'm Pretty Sure ZEOS is Just A Hype Men
@@kato2395 What do you think of your pc38x? Is it better than the X2 with or without new pads
@@loudnoises8197 the pc38x sounds cleaner and separate sounds better, but at the same time the X2 has better bass punch and sounds more natural and less artificial, this is with the stock pad.
The dekoni pad sounds bad to me, the bass drowns the details in the music and the treble peaked at times, so to me comparing the X2 with dekoni pads & the the pc38x wins hand down
If the X2 uses the stock pad I would say both the PC38X and X2 is good. It depends on your preferences. If you like a headpone that is clean sounding, the PC38X, if you want something that sounds more immersive and natural, the X2 is the way to go.
@loudnoises8197 I love my x2hr via Bluetooth using my BTR7 AND LDAC CODEC Set to PRIORITY ON SOUND QUALITY . Finally I can have Bluetooth And Impactful Sound With My X2HR
I had to make the choice between X2HR or the HD58x and I chose the X2HR. My first dip into higher Audiophile headphones. Seeing Zeos talk about them again makes me feel confident in dropping the HD58X for the X2’s.
I have both and I switch between them, they're very different. I prefer the X2HRs for bass heavy music or gaming, the 58x for pretty much everything else. X2HRs are wide and fun. Weirdly enough I actually find they help me locate enemy players better while gaming. The 58x is also fun but I find slightly smoother and more intimate. If you were looking to get a 2nd headphone to pair I would get the 58x!
When you posted the x3 review i looked for x2 hr's and i found some with a broken pin for 80 bucks. cleaned them up and fixed them. best decision this year.
Just purchased the Suede for the X2HR I picked up for $115 all because of Zeos. I paired them with a Schiit Hel and Voda Boom Pro Mic. I am in love with this for gaming. Can never go back to any type of "gaming headset". Zeos has not let me down with his recommendations! Keep killing the review game.
How does the schitt Hel perform i have the full 2 with X2HRs and I like it was thinking of upgrading
@@dass216 Schiit Hel was my first DAC/AMP. I absolutely love it. I dont do much music listening but for gaming i feel like i am at my endgame with this setup. Also, if i ever want to try higher audiophile headsets the HEL gives me that room to grow. My friends on discord said this the best i've ever sounded as well with me running the mic through the HEL as well
@@xS0JUx yeah my true purpose is gaming as well cool thanks for the feedback 😀
Is the suede more breathable and cooler than leather ear pads i.e. doesn't make your ears sweat?
I just ordered the suave pads a few minutes ago!!! Since I've been watching your reviews you haven't steered me wrong yet 👍🏿
Results?
@InDueTime25 They're Dope & last for abouts 4 before they got that flat look so I ordered a different kind & brand so I'll post the link in a second 👍🏿
I've been using these since January of thus year & my bad the Dekoni's lasted me 3 years
@@myquietreviewsfeaturingc.t9354 Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.
I noticed Dekoni also has an "elite velour" version of these pads for $10 more. Any chance you could do a review and comparison of those?
They literally just came out, June 30th.
Getting different pads for the X2 is a good idea if for no other reason than the pads that come with them are the worst dust magnets I've experienced.
Zeos I just bought this (in the EU), and wow... these are amazing... better than an amp/dac investment imo with comfort + sound improvement. Even the convenience! I feel like this wouldn't need as much cleaning as the stock do.
I got my X2's in 2017 they've been my absolute favorite headphones since I bought them. The fabric around the ears is starting to pull so I'll have to check out these since I didn't want to retire them yet. Great review and I'm loving my z12's!
"Currently unavailable" Well, at least I got the X2HRs when you linked them at $99 a while back. So I got that goin' for me. Which is nice.
Honestly its worth the 40 dollars, they went up to 50 but i got them anyway and lemme tell you they improve the headphones by a alot. These are worth the money

My wife bought the Fidelio X3 on Black Friday for $199.99 as a Christmas present.. I love these very much. I can't believe they are now $333.50. Crazy.
Is the. X3. REALLY that much better than the x2hr?
Or is it extremely close?
Because I have the x2hr, and won't upgrade unless the x3 is world's better
I was a very big fan of the x2hr.
such a big fan that I bought it again if my old one broke.
but when I bought the x3 on offer, it was all over me.
I fell in love with the x3 right away, it's so much better than the x2hr
its just getting a bit overwhelming, i am going back to AM and my trusty CC radio
Ahhh, perfect a 30 min pad review
I just got my X2HRs like 2 days ago, freaking LOVING THEM. Can't believe he said the pads suck when these are the most comfortable headphone pads I've felt in my life. I need to try those Dekonis.
Youre literally the villain from Inspector Gadget
Imagine if some robber breaks into Zeos' House and seeing all those speakers and headphones
He would just sit there contemplating what to take.
"No beats by dre? This guy has no idea about what good headphones are"
First the Attack Cat Chewbacca goes at them. Then my friend Kriss has a word or two.
The robbers might go online for reviews to see which one's worth taking and be like "Oh that setting looks familiar..."
Pew fucking pew.
I would rather go with the 3rd option of the Dekoni pads for these. AKA the "velour" pads. Because these Suede and leather is not at all Suede and lether. They are synthetic and will peel and become cheap like all the other plether pads. The Velour ones won't.
watching with my x2hrs. A lot of people told me different things on your discord, but I'm really glad that I got them. And now I'm going to spend 40 dollars on leather doughnuts.
Hard to find a more treacherous hive of Scum and Villainy
i finally understood how the earpads can change the sound signature. it is a huge difference. however, in my experience with Dekoni leather pads for X3, is not positive.
I love X3. I really don't understand all the hates toward these cans. they are great headphones with clean defined sound, wide stage, nice images, and most of all, great bass. I used to have X2 so I know the sound of it. It definitely has stronger bass, but bass is tighter and well punched on X3 and more than enough. If it's not enough, y'all should go with Beats cans. (Only headphones I liked with significant more bass than X3 is Fostex TH-X00 Ebony).
These are very good, well-balanced cans which is a sure upgrade from X2, 6XX/600 (I dont have 660s, sundara, 880 so can't compare with them. but I own T1 2nd gen, MDR z7mk2, Nighthawk Carbon, HD6XX. X3 is a good addition for the collection).
When I switched to dekoni leather pads, it immedietaly boost the bass a little too much. it change the sound signature completely almost like they are different cans. Gaining more bass may be good, but they also lost the clarity and balance. as a result, they sounded like old Dr.Dre cans which have muddy mirky sound signature without any balanced tonality. I was surprised actually because I was expecting very positive changes because of this review.
I haven't tried the suedes pads yet. I will definitely try them out.
Did you ever end up trying the Suedes?
Same here
I was a very big fan of the x2hr.
such a big fan that I bought it again if my old one broke.
but when I bought the x3 on offer, it was all over me.
I fell in love with the x3 right away, it's so much better than the x2hr
Other earpads like the dekoni series destroy the beautiful sound of the x3 ,in my opinion waste of money .
I don’t understand the x3 hater too.
The Are realy realy awesome.❤❤❤❤❤
Just picked up the dekoni suede ones for my X3's. They are extreme soft and comfortable but they make the X3's sound a bit muffled and quite basy. Kind of traps the sound so they're not that open wide anymore.
The stock pads are the best on x2hr and x3 other pads like the dekoni series destroy all the details ,they bring more bass of course but destroy all the rest.
@@skyhero1888 Was just about to pull the trigger on the Dekoni suedes and glad i scrolled down to read your comment. I'm happy with the comfort and was just wondering if it could sound even better. I'll put that $50 back in my wallet. Thanks man!
@@RUMBLEGO1 you are very welcome 🤗
Been rocking my X2HR's for a couple years now. Definitely might get these as a little gift for myself :D
Perfect review since I just picked up the X2HR's as my first open back headphone!
I've had a pair for a little while, just bought some AudioQuest Nighthawks so not using them as much, but one thing for sure is the original pads are super comfy, I wouldn't change them
@@chriscestero I got my Liquid Wood Edition last Month. Best Headphone i ever had👍
@@nariwashere8549 couldn’t agree more, they’re a stunning set of headphones for sure. Congrats on the purchase my friend
You don't have to glue the M560. You just take the stock pad apart and remove the plastic base. You can then put that in most standard pads about the right size.
Because there needed to be another reason to get Fidelios.
Wellll... the bass is too much and not good enough for a lot of people
@@brandonkey181 at £100 ish there really isn’t much that touches these.
@@chriscestero ad700 and porta pros are better imo
@@brandonkey181 fair enough, I’d personally go for the X2’s out of those options but that’s the beauty in having choice, each has their own preferences ✌️
@@brandonkey181 honestly after eqing them with the parametric figures from oratory1990 they are pretty balanced and clean,try it out with peace gui
I just got these the other day & these ear pads are the F'n truth!!! You're the headphone God my brother 💪🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
watching this video on my X2HRs
The leather pads on the X2hr fix EVERYTHING.
"Only 20 left. Order soon."
X2HR stock pads weren't that bad in terms of comfort. It was like sandpaper on my face initially, but it's fine now. What I really need is comfortable pads for the Sundara.
X3 is like $600 in my country. So they can wait until my X2HR breaks in 10 years or so.
Sold out. Sadface
Where do you live, here in Germany the X3 cost only 275€.
I must take back what I said about the stock pads being fine. They're not. I just got these pads. The stock pads are indeed trash. The moment I put my X2HR on, I know I will never, ever, again put the stock pads back. I will just have to get used to the change in how they sound. Can't say yet whether I prefer the stock sounds or not, but even if I do, I ain't going back.
Philips should just sign a deal with Dekoni and have them make all the earpads for Philips headphones.
...my GOD these make the X2HR more comfortable than my Sennheiser 560S.
@@alexossan2829 Just got mine today, I agree completely.
@@alexossan2829 yeah i got the leathers its so much better than stock
Got some velour pads on the for my X2HRs super excited
Was in the mood for a rant but I needed to know about this. Love my hr’s I think I may get the leathers because I already kind of like the stock pads. The material sucks but fit and comfort is great.
Do it. I got the suedes and they're amazing...
@@joemacafee7655 i got the leathers they sound super bassy and amazing and for long term wear they are okay just for the fact that they warm up fast, how do the suedes compare to the stock pads sound wise in your opinion?
@@modelotime3608 From a sound standpoint the suedes are the sound of the stock pads just cranked up a bunch of notches, which is fine with me. I have experienced exactly what Z mentioned, I had to turn my volume up to have the same level as on the old pads. The big gain of the suedes in my opinion is they are so ungodly comfortable in comparison to the stock pads.
Keep in mind $40 can also buy you a 4 pack of Ippudo Instant Ramen from 7/11 Japan and as someone who's had most of the top Ramens in NYC and LA, that shit is bananas. If you haven't tried Instant Ramen from 7/11 Japan, you owe it to yourself. Comparable to Dekoni pads as far as that good feeling
Zeos being a food channel be like
So what should I get for my X2HRs if I just want to tame some of the high-end.
Sold out on Amazon, the pads are the only thing I don't like on my X2HR. I need these leather pads
Just got the x2hr used for 79 bucks. Looking forward to getting new pads.
I bought the X2HR's the other day because I found a great deal for some NOS (€80) and it's kinda surreal to then use them while getting suggested this video by the algorithm. Welp, guess I'll be spending 50% of the value on some earpads.
Tell them to make pads for the GL2000, big fat cozy suede mofo's!
X3s currently on sale at Walmart for $250
Add Dekoni pads via Drop for $70
$320 for what appears to be a great headphone setup
better alternatives out there, unless you really want them, or like their sound
HD600 and Sundara territory at that price point
@@dr.strange5419 X3s are good, better than 650 imo. and 650s are 421$ so?
6:48 it’s probably one of the most adorable moments in Zeos Pantera history. 🐱
Hey Z, is it possible to review the Dekoni Elite Velour pads for the X2HR? Regards, a fan of yours.
Anything is possible. BUT they need the mounting system specific to these.
@@ZReviews They do have the same mounting system like the other 2. There is a review on Amazon, but it would be great to hear your opinion about these.
I have the X2HR and the X3 and decided to just start with the Choice Suede and try them on both and see what i thought. Well i prefer them on both without question over the stock. Have read some comments where people say they ruin the stock sound. Not to my ears at all. Both have been really good. May try the leathers in a bit just to see what change may happen with those. I'll tell ya what surprised me the most is that it is hard to see the markings on the X3 as to which is left and right. Those drivers are angled at your ears. I had them on the wrong way for a good while and then flipped them to the "correct" orientation. I actually prefer them reversed by a long shot. Weird right! Try it for yourself if you own these. Only thing is you will have to reverse the left and right going into your device to get the correct left and right image. Testing it again right now before it typed this with two tracks i know very well. It sounds better like this for me. Really weird i know but hey....very cheap thing to try eh? :)
Which set do you prefer? I’ve just got a set of X3 and I think they’re incredible. Had the X2HR and don’t get the praise at all myself. Fun bass definitely, but the X3 feels like having a set of expensive speakers by your ears, really impressed by them
@@TheHulksMistress Hadn't listened to the X2HR's in awhile. The Dekoni Suedes are really nice on that headphone. The comfort is sweet. It seems to level out the frequencies in a pleasing way. I always found that headphone to be a bit peaky in some treble region and this mellows that out and brings in some mids. I'm using a slight eq to bring down some bass on my android. The mids and treble are even and sound great with those pads.
@@RUMBLEGO1 that’s handy to know, thanks. The only issue I had with the X2HRs was the treble sounding a little uncontrolled sometimes. I do miss the fun of those, but I’m trying to convince myself to stick with the X3. Really surprised at how bassy they actually are, and I don’t get the consensus that they’re overly bright at all. Maybe it’s because I’ve used the Koss KSC75s for a year but the X3 sound almost dull in comparison
Either way thanks, I’ll bare those pads in mind if I end up getting the X2HR again
@@TheHulksMistress That's why i didn't like the suedes on the X3. I didn't want it to take away the treble at my experience was tha i was certainly doing that. When i put the original pads back on the treble immediately was back. That's all the testing i needed to do.
Been waiting since Feb when this vid came out to get these pads for my x2hr's...I hate the stock xr and shp9500 pads. Both versions of the Dekoni's were out of stock, well, they're back! bout time too! Got those lamb leather alpha pads for my shp's...huge thick soft pads. I hope these pads are the similar. Prob not as thick but hopefully better than stock.
Well, time to add these to the black friday list lol
so.... for x2hr, the suede for more bass, or leather? mod old pads attachment to zmf or brainwaves?
Hi Zeos, first thanks a lot for the review! A while ago I have found my Fidelio X2 after not using them a long time and I saw green rust on the metal. Do you know, how I can repair them?
Omg I have the exact same issue.
Any way to get these pads in EU without shipping costing the same as the pads themselves? (:
PLEASE!!! Mackie MC-450 compatible pads for EU please (Romania to be specific). (i still wear my HyperX Cloud 2 instead of MC-450 because i want to preserve the pads untill i find spare or improvements) PLEASE!!!
The stock pads are the best on x2hr and x3 other pads like the dekoni series destroy all the details ,they bring more bass of course but destroy all the rest.
After trying a pair on my X2HR, I agree. The stock pads sound more balanced.
I got my X3 for 200€ on black friday. No regrets when it comes to sound. Pads are itchy af though.
Just rub them a few times when they're dusty and that really helped me
Tygr 300r vs x2hrs?
@Zeos Do the suedes effect soundstage at all for the X2's??
Wheres pasta?
Sadly not available globally yet, as soon as they're available in my country they're on their way to me.
Yup, would be nice to be able to get Dekoni pads in Europe... and for similar prices
I paid 400 for my x2hr older version, or about 4 years ago. Is there a difference in the older to the new, or just price drop?
Just bought the x3's this midday for 150 euro's. I think they wil be great with my Topping 50s series stack :) Just the cable is going to be sh!t. 3 mtrs too long.
Wich one will give me more bass on the X2HR? The Lether ones?
You can absolutely change pads on the Fidelios, I have two pairs of brainwaves that I had previously swapped onto them. You pull the pads over the lip of the shell on either side except on one side you either have to pin-prick a hole in the fabric for the 3.5 mm jack or you pull back the pad fabric to inset the jack. Problem I found with the Fidelios is that pad swaps degrade the sound and characteristics that make it a solid headphone. Plus the Dekoni tape system sucks. It just flat out sucks. I bought the pads for the Mobius and they were a garbage fire of poor design and adhesion. I would HIGHLY CAUTION ⚠ anyone from taping or gluing pads to your headphones. It makes backsies a risky proposition whereby you can rip the fabric if you have to readjust them. Nice to see Dekoni doesn't rely on tape adhesion for these.
My problem with the X2's is that they don't sit on my head well. I can fit my fingers under the headband when they are over my ears comfortably, and Phillips for some reason didn't include an adjustment for the height of the earcups. With the slightest movement, they start sliding down.
Fidelio X3 are now $170, X2HR $150 Which one to pick? Many says X2 is a better headphone.
Which one do you think would be best for the x1 as you say they have a sticky option on the back. i use the x2 cable as I prefer the sound of it on the x1, it tightens up the bass a tad unless it's placebo. I would prefer a little more clarity and less bloated. So which one would you say will do that the suede or leather? Or do you suggest something else? Great vids
Sold out already. Well when time to change my pads I'll google this video again and check the link.
in terms of sound these pads are not an improvement, bass is so muddy and everything sounds mildly muffled. quality is nice tho
I got the Dekoni for my He400i's (which should work for the sundara's) and while not as easy as the peg system I found the leather ones quite nice for that headphone close enough with a tad more bass...I do want to try their hybrids though as they will be as close to the original focus pads. But I was nervous about their velour fabric would be itchy even though they claim it doesn't itch...Wish they did the suede for them....They look less itchy. The original hifiman pads I found to be itchy.
Philips stock velvet itches and a lot 😫
The first good pair of headphones I got was the X2 back in around 2015 an replaced my old skullcandy earbuds and loved them. I accidently broke them and went a year without good headphones until I bought the HD 600. I now own the HD 600 58X Jubilee Grado SR80e and Hifiman 400SE and actually like the 58X more than all the others even for 80s-90s heavy/progressive metal that's mid range focused with a lot of high 5th octave notes. Maybe my ears just suck or I like "fun" headphones. I'm wondering if the drop 6XX would be better for what I like maybe or try getting another pair of X2HR version now. I never had the X2 at the same time with any other headphones or DACs or pads even EQ settings to compare them too.
I have the X2HR, almost got a X3, but many Pepole told me the X3 is not so good as the X2HR , i bought then a Audioquest Nighthawk Liquid wood. Best Headphone i ever had
Does somone know a good replacemant Pads for AKG N40. I bought Comply TSX 500 but they are not so good, not for 30€
My X2 HRs just took one too many fall and one of the pins that hold the cup in place broke. Not sure if I can get it fixed, but if I can't, are there any recommendations for headphones with similar sound profile for 120€ or less?
P.S. One screw later they are fine again :D
Was gonna say, id be impressed if you managed to break them lol.
i bought the x2's from your original review. I use them for gaming and they've been great so far. My right earcup has started to disconnect. The screw backed out from the headband and now theres no sound. have you taken them apart or know how I can reconnect it? Thanks, love the vids. I'll probably be looking for a replacement now.
Eris pads her chest. please get one of those wallpapers for pads next time
X3 owners have 💎🤚
ZEOS! Remember me? I ordered these last Tuesday. They are arriving tomorrow here in Sweden. I hope I'll like the X2's over the 990s.
Depends on how much you like 990s lol
@@brandonkey181 Just got the X2's. Extremely comfortable. Even more so than my 990s which even had memory foam pads on them. These sound so much better without EQ and they are much more EQ friendly. The bass is tight and nice, the treble isn't piercing. I liked my 990s for their extreme detail. But sometimes it got too much for me. Conclusion. Much more worth the price if looking for an open back/a more neutral headphone.
A while ago Amazon was selling a special edition Philips x2 with leather pads
Sound Demo for the X3 with the leather Dekoni please.....
That SKW cord is very nice no jank, ends feel super high quality, cheaper and better than the stupid audioquest one.
Zeos, you must try the Shure Ionic50 hps. It Rocks. I am very impressed.
how much does the leather pads decrease the soundstage for the X2? I want them to still feel like a open back headphone.
Would moving from X2HRs to HD 6XX be a lateral or upward move?
You’ll be missing the bass for sure, but the mids in the highs will be better.
Could recommend A headphone with the 6 X X uppers with great bass?
I am guessing that the 3m sticky part is for the X1s? Don't these have a manual in the box?
damn if I don't love the x2hr's :( too bad every pair I've gotten has had a nuts channel imbalance below 200hz
I took the pads off the X2HR completely and noticed they were significantly more detailed. Obviously harsh and unwearable, but what it did was show me the driver potential and what the stock pads were doing. While the stock pads added nice width, there was a good 15% detail loss. It looks like these pads recover some of that, while actually being suitable for human ears.
The stock pads are the best on x2hr and x3 other pads like the dekoni series destroy all the details ,they bring more bass of course but destroy all the rest.
So i have to pay around 140 CAD for this to include 25 USD shipping and duties and taxes, is there no option for Canadians? No love for us...
shp9600 is $90, x2he is $150, which should I go for?
Awe no. The sexy pads are sold out. I'm impressed by the power of these reviews to move product. Props
HATE that I had these saved to buy on Drop & now they are Sold Through. OoF. They only cleared 77 pairs till they closed it. Why did it say there was a day left & now they are not for purchase?
My sentiments exactly.
Just back ordered them from Dakoni, $10 more & free shipping.
How long do these pads tend to last? I saw some harsh reviews on Amazon that say they wear out quickly in a matter of months, and I'm wondering if that's typical or a few bad cases.
"You don't realize how rough and hard these are till you buy another pad" YES THE FUCK I DO!!!! I love these headphones so much, but the pads crush my head. The exact reason I'm even here.
Great video ! But do you know, where i can find pads for my GL 2000 ?
Sold out on Amazon....
Got choice leather pads coming in the mail for my X2HRs :]
does this make x3 more different with x2hr? are the x3s worth the extra?
Too bad they sold out (amazon) and the drop sold through. Thanks for the review though!
What audio software are you using for listening to music?
How long is Your SKW Aux cable?
So is it worth to have both X2HR and X3?
I've got the Brainwavz Memory Foam Earpads, Round, Velour for my X2's for a while now. My original ones were very worn and comping apart after several years. These do the job right now. Good to know there's alternatives now.
how do they attach?
@@nougatpersonal I basically stretch the fake leather over the ear cup. Poked a hole into that fake leather for the headphone jack to go through. Very solid way of attaching them.
Ask them to get the gl2000s and just make the second set of pads but in suede haha.. The second set of large pads are great but I want the softness of the first set.....😅
