Excellent video, thank you!
I got a pair of the perforated sheepskin AHGs, they did arrive with scrims, but I put the original ones back anyway. As someone with a small head (sometimes taking childrens' sized hats) I found that the AHGs did make a difference. Yes, the headphones aren't very tight, but they're definitely giving more of a clamp now, in a pleasant way. It stops the headband from resting too hard on my head, which usually happens because the clamping force isn't enough to stop the headphones sliding down. It's a very large headset.
I did notice that the better grip did mean that the headphones did feel a bit warmer than usual, but that's to be expected anyway because of the different materials.
Soundwise I did notice a tighter bass, but it's very early days and I haven't really had time to listen to much yet. I'm looking forward to giving them a full workout!
😁👍
I left the scrim in the cup while attaching the new ear pads on the HD800S, worked out fine. Initial impression is that they feel more comfortable than the stock alcantara pads. Thanks for posting this video!
Nice! Glad video helped. There is more than one way to skin a cat :). Nice to know you like the pads. Thanks for dropping a message. Subscribe for future videos :)
Thank you for making these, really digging it compared to the stock pads
Nice, great to hear you like them. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Love the pads and your video tutorial is gold. Thank you very much!
Awesome 👌 👍😎. Great to know you are happy and everything went well
Finally a decently price leather replacement - have just ordered it, looking forward to trying it out.
That's my slogan - better products, better prices 😁. I also have these available in perforated now.
@@accessoryhouse ahhh...do you? I would have preferred that..
@@joshgrahamnz did you order on amazon? Which country?
@@accessoryhouse yup i did.. Germany
@@joshgrahamnz Unfortunately I do not have them in Germany yet. Let me know what you think of them first. I might be able to do a swap. Best to e-mail me directly - info@accessoryhouseglobal.com
Just got my today and have to say this are awsome! Im honest in my opinion! Like these really make these HD800 to HD800S i mean convert :D But no means a bad way!
Excellent, glad to hear you are happy:) thanks for sharing
the price to "performance" is off the charts. i strongly recommend these.
Hey, great to know you love the pads :). I do like offering better products at better prices :). If you can help with leaving a product review, you would be a legend!
installation instructions begin at 3:20
My man
I've had the HD 800s for some years now so the original pads had to be replaced.
Bought these in march 2022 and can confirm the build quality is good if not great. 😊
They add some bass in the low frequencies but they narrow the soundstage a bit (or more?).
They require far less cleaning than the original ones, aspect which is truly wonderful. 👌
Nonetheless, since I wear my headphones literally every single day, I thought of cleaning them up for the 1st time, with the New Year and all.
Nonetheless, after carefully watching the video a few times, upon removal, one of the pads broke in 2 places.
I found that that they attach much harder to the frame compared to the originals, thus requiring far more significant force to remove. 😑
The plastic thing didn't help me much.
I also have small hands and thin fingers so I could feel which was what inside.
The 2nd pad I managed to successfully remove using a small-size flathead screwdriver. 🤗
I used to clean the original pads once every month, max. once every 8 weeks (depending on the season) so I'm quite familiar with the headphone's design.
It's quite a pity they broke because I truly enjoyed them on several levels. 😔
A bit disheartening...
Contact me directly - info@accessoryhouseglobal.com and I will sort it out.
I removed these pads 2-3 times last week doing product pics and nothing broke.
This is unexpected...
Thank you kindly for replying, and so promptly!
I will contact you shortly. ✔
'Pro-memoria', a few minutes after this message 🔼, I can confirm that they responded immediately.
I described my problem and they offered to replace the product, no questions asked.
Once they verified my initial order they promptly sent a new pair which arrived just fine to the destination.
Hats off to AHG for such excellent customer support!
Thank you Brandon & AHG. 👌
@@Korabeu happy to help and great to know all is sorted 👍😁
$40 bucks vs $75 originals is a no brainer. Just installed these and they're just as good, if not, better than official pads.
Awesome :). I always try to over deliver on product and price. Nice to know you are happy and thanks for taking the time to share it!
Thanks for the video I installed them but there's one part that is still loose on both pads that won't "click" it's very frustrating. It's the same location on both pads at the top of the ear
For me, I apply pressure across the pad and use a thumb to push in the last part. You can try down and out a bit to get the clip in the slot
Hi, I’d like to know if the perforated sheepskin version of these affect the sound signature of the HD800? Is the soundstage affected as much?
They are designed to let the air through the material so that it is similar to the alcantara. Of course everyone hears things differently but I find these sound more like originals
Looks promising, is it possible if you guys made a version with like a velour material that comes in contact with the skin? I like she touch of leather when i hold it and I like how the shape resembles the original one as well but I am so used to the soft alantara type of material touching my skin. I think a good reference would be the hybrid material types from the Hifiman Ananda. If you guys can adapt that combination of material I will buy! Good job!
I just made a perforated sheepskin but yeah can get a hybrid velour and put leather model designed 😁
@@accessoryhouse that will be great!
I had just made an order, how long it takes deliver to Sydney Australia?
I will ship it Monday. It will be tracked. Normally its 5-8 working days. I am not sure if Covid is delaying shipping still.
Just got mine. Major disappointment. The other pad just doesn't fit properly and I think I actually got PTSD from removing them, even with this guide. Returning these and opting for the stock ones instead.
Contact me via email - I will sort it out for you. info@accessoryhouseglobal.com
Can anyone comment on how these change the sound signature, stage, imaging on HD800S? Also do these add any clamp force? I love my HD800S but hate how easily they move around when I turn my head or look down. I feel like I’m constantly adjusting them.
You will notice a slight bass increase. Ear pads are not as porous as alcantera material. So you may notice soundstage change. So far only positive e feedback and no glaring changes from what I read from customers. Clamping forse would be similar, I have not made pads thicker than originals. Any time you change ear pad materials there will be a degree of sound change but nothing has been reported as bad so far.
Thanks
Do you need that mesh thing inside the headphones? Will it sound clearer without it???
It might change the sound. The mesh is there to protect the driver from dirt etc. So if you do not use it you need to be mindful of keeping the headphones stored away or on your head :)
@@accessoryhouse gotcha. Thanks for the quick reply! Bought some of your company's leather ear pad! Can't wait.😁
@@thelonepainter4760 Excellent! Let me know how you like them and subscribe to the channel :)
@@accessoryhouse will do!😀👌
@@accessoryhouse just got them, going to test them out ,let you know by tomorrow how they performed.😁👌👍
Hey mate, can I order these pads and deliver it to Indonesia? Cheers
I think ordering on amazon usa might be the cheapest solution. Email me and I can figure it out.

Are these real leather? Also do you have any offers or promo codes I could use to buy these? Thanks
Hello, these are real sheepskin leather on the top and inside but the sides are a high grade protein leather. The reason for this is that real animal skin cannot be heat welded to plastic. I do not have a promo code but I am charging about 40% less than sennheiser does for the alcantera originals. So it's a steal :). If you tell me what country you are in I can link you. Thanks
@@accessoryhouse Thanks I am in the UAE and US...both countries work for me coz sometimes the shipping to UAE is costly. I wanna know about both options please...Alcantara won't have that Bass increase benefit right? But I wanna see both types. Btw do you also have for HD 650s too?Any discount code would be helpful as I've just bought a beat up HD 800S and wanted new pads...thanks a lot.
@@accessoryhouse Btw very helpful video indeed...
@@Shoaibexpert Alcantara is the material used on the original ear pads. It is fake suede and it has sound leakage. The sheepskin pad is very soft and nice and the outer PU leather reduces sound leakage. The bass does go up a bit. I have HD650 ear pads in PU leather and velour. You can contact me and we can chat about it - accessoryhouse@btinternet.com
Scrim? wtf lol... never heard anyone call it that
Yup, scrims, gaskets and some even say 'ear mats'. I had bose customer support use 'scrim'. Do I just stuck with it 😁
I do not think thats true, the type of material matters alot and it is not due to your ear getting use to the sound signature...people that roll earpad a lot will know, leather will produce more pads than materials like valour, so beware.
We will have to agree to disagree. An old degraded material and foam will sound different to the same ear pad that is new. Materials matter as you said.
Accessory House I agreed old and new will be different due to material aging and used however different type of material on ear pad will also change the sound.
