Great informative review even in 2021.
I actually prefer the fenestrated sheepskin on my 650s. Everyone told me no, I felt like it def added a little bass but overall the sound remains intact, especially after letting them break in. I have an oratory eq on it and I wont go back to stock pads, these are far more comfortable.
@@soulfulfool ....770's are a closed back headphone....lol. different headphones are...different. they don't all react the same to pad surface material and foam content the same.
Thanks for the review buddy. I need replacement pads for my 650's and LCD-2's. This helped!
Best pads are the Original HYBRID Sennheisers that use pleather inside around the ring and velour outside also the gray colour foam inside the pads is highly air penetrated foam . That's the reason that none of aftermarket pads are working. End of story. Everything else jusy destroys the sparkle highs and gives boosted mid bass.
Nice video. After watching yours and Zeos on Dekoni earpads I guess I'll be picking up Fenestrated Sheepskin for HD600 since the normal ones wear out too fast. Spending money on earpads every 6 months to a year is getting more and more ridiculous. Hope these last longer.
I picked the fenestrated Sheepskin for my HD660s. Thx for the Video
I have the Elite Hybrids on my 660s and I love them 🤷♂️
Have they changed how the headphones sound? If yes, how?
Thanks, for the Video. Was helpful to me..
I don't get why so many ppl dislike it.
ya no problem glad it could help. and its mostly because i did not stay on a very clear path nor did i give the clearest info if i where to remake the video it probably run a bit smoother.
watch at 1.25 speed, much better
ya i rambled a LOT. i plan on making a more updated streamlined video eventually.
@@thor2767 The information was good though, i just needed to hear it faster. But I made a purchase based on the information you provided so thanks.
@@brand00990 glad i could help! hope you enjoy them!
Darn, I wanted the least change to sound but also the most comfortable. Now I don't know whether to choose the Elite Hybrid or the Fenestrated Sheepskin for my 58X's (which sound close to 660S).
if you get them from amazon just buy both and return the one you dont like! easy and free returns
hey, im in the exact same situation, just bought the 58X's. What pad did you end up buying? from the review I find that Fenestrated are closer to the stock ones which sound great. I really don't want to buy all 3 variants just to try each...
Eric Kerti I ended up getting the Elite Velours. In my opinion they keep the stock sound of the 58X’s well, though I have mine slightly modded (removed the foam between driver and grille).
@@Delfino_Enjoyer I see..thanks! so many opinions out there...some say elite velour ones increase the bass even more. I feel it a bit muddy even with the stocks on ...i use motherboard DAC, i don't have external ones..By looks I prefer hybrid or elite sheepskin...
@@eirikr47 Yeah, I'm by no means an expert. If you think the bass is muddy, try removing the foam between the drivers and the grilles like I did. Won't take you more than 5 minutes.
Nice work.. have you tried op amp rolling with your little bear p2 tube??? If so I would like to know what you use
nope just using the original NE5532 chip i haven't changed it around at all as of now might at some point tho.
Thor Wolf I saw on massdrop berson opamp I may get it
@@chuckseeger7743 ya give em a shot and see how they preform!
3:19 You say that the hybrids are the most comfortable. So they're your favourite comfortable wise, but not audio wise, is that correct?
correct they where the most comfortable to me but sounded awful unfortunately.
Very informative but you know you can solve everything by personal EQ so none of it matters anyway.
@@oledevo EQ wont change comfort and also wont/cant always have the same effect that changing the pads will have.
are you a still happy panda bear?
Hi. Thanks for your video. What's the size to choose in cm or inch for the pads, please? As I find many cheaper TPU faux leather pads on eBay. Thanks.

Inner Height - 68mm
Inner Inner Height (inside pads) - 88mm

@@thor2767 Great information! Thank you very much for your kind.
Hi. What would be the most neutral pads for my 660s ? I am a little confused because people on amazon and forums say they all make the sound worse/ veiled.
i found the Fenestrated Sheepskin to be the most neutral BUT on only 3 of my 5 pairs due the the leather having variations. there's a few new brands of pads on the market now for the HD6XX line that ive heard good things about but i haven't tested any of them due to being happy with my current pairs of Fenestrated Sheepskin pads.
@@ahappypandabear403 Thanks for the reply. What are the new pads called ?
@@Anomalyn1 Yaxi makes some, dekoni came out with a few new models i think and there's at least one other i cant recall.
Hi @@ahappypandabear403, are you saying it is a unicorn type purchase? I mean, keep returning them until we get one with neutral sound w.r.t. stock?
I got 2 pairs of their most recent "stock-clone" pads and I'm very happy with them. Have one with the HD600 and the other with the HD660S. But I'm kind of curious in trying the fenestrated sheepskin version. Thanks!
@@FabioKasper somewhat yes. when it comes to REAL leather no 2 pieces are the same it can be slightly different in all sorts of little ways which can effect the sound. i have had more good pads then i have bad pads with the fenestrated sheepskin.
I have weirdly shaped ears or something, so the top of my right ear touches the foam insert. Which pads would be best to give my ears a little bit more room in the cup?
the elite velour and Fenestrated give the most room for your ears i had the same problem as well and further got some custom sized foam to place over the driver www.ebay.com/itm/Thin-Thick-Inside-Foam-Disk-Ear-Pads-For-HD545-HD565-HD600-HD650-Headphones/261502563711?hash=item3ce2c4757f:m:mLoqFBG_DF6CWt59n3r1FOQ:rk:7:pf:0 heres a link to some premade ones
All the Dekoni pads are a little “deeper” than stock Sennheiser pads. If you wear your headphones for a really long time and THEN you notice your ear(s) starting to touch the foam, then you might consider the Fenestrated or regular Sheepskin because the stiffer material may help the pads compress less.
Do these break easy like most people say ?
ive found some of the newer plastic rings do crack easier but its a easy fix with a bit of super glue.
@@thor2767 i see thanks. I guess i will go with original pads then.
Have u tried the sheepskin for the 660s ?
the pure sheepskin pads?
They’re good: the pads make a small sound difference in open back headphones (and the HD 660 are VERY open!), but a nice difference in comfort with the memory foam.
The Dekoni pads all make a tighter seal than stock Sennheiser pads, because they have a flat surface that makes contact with your head and foam that conforms to your face a little more. Dekoni pads are also slightly deeper, and the sound is slightly less in your head and direct because of that. When reviewers mention dB differences in bass, mids, and highs, keep in mind we’re still talking about less than a handful of dB here. Consider the example that each volume step of an iPhone makes a much larger difference.
Dekoni Velour sounds the most similar to the Sennheiser Velour... because they’re both velour. Dekoni Velour is a bit of a tighter weave so they retain a bit more bass.
Dekoni Sheepskin are solid leather (over foam) pads, so they allow the headphone to have even more sound pressure (particularly in the bass, like 2-3dB more than the Velour). Since the smooth inner surface reflects sound waves, you may also hear a tiny bit more of all frequencies, but Treble in particular whose little waves may previously been absorbed by the irregular and porous surface of velour.
Fenestrated Sheepskin pads have a sound (and heat transfer) right in the middle between Velour and solid Sheepskin. The Fenestrations are small enough that low frequency sound waves still reflect off, but high frequencies are partially absorbed. So, you end up with a bit more of “everything” but a bit more of a “velour like” response as you go up in frequency.
Hybrid pads have Fenestrated Sheepskin where sound waves interact, Velour against your face (little sonic impact), and sleek looking Sheepskin along the outer face of the pad.
@@evshrug First of all Pads do.make a huge difference on Open backs and in HD6 line they just destroy the sound.
Secondly Original Sennheiser pads that sound the.best are NOT VELOUR they are HYBRID they have pleather inside around the ring and Velour outside , also the gray foam that is used by Sennheier is highly air penetrated thats why they sound like that.
All aftermarket pads will destroy the original sound.
Do the fenestrated sound good on the 650s too?
i had not tested the fenestrated pads on the 650s. i tested all the others on them tho and found the sound change to be about the same between the 660S and the 650s. but the 650s tended to always have a little more of a of a effect from pads then the 660S. i didnt want to pull off the Fenestrated pads very much because they are the most fragile of all the pads when removing them from the cups. if you want the closest to stock pad sound then i recommend the Fenestrated pads.
@@thor2767 thanks, that's what my assumption was. I have 6xx coming and 58x currently and have 1 set of fenestrated coming in today. Hoping it was a good choice for 58x... trying to decide if I should get something else for the 6xx or not (6xx are 650s). I need something different because the stock pads smoosh my glasses and are uncomfortable for me.
@@intoitreviews if you are getting them via Amazon they have a great return policy so you can buy em try em and if you dont like X pad you can return them easily
@@thor2767 that's very true. I thought about getting normal sheepskin (not fenestrated) for comparison, but I have been reading that it might muddy the sound, so that scared me off a bit. I'm trying to avoid velour because velour tends to make me sweaty while leather doesnt for some reason. I know I'm weird like that. So was thinking I should avoid hybrids or elite velour.
@@intoitreviews indeed I said in the video as well that pure sheep skin and the hybrids muddy the sound as well *I'm on my normal account* but i do like the fenstrated pads a lot so rock em
Thanks also. I may go velour for 600's.
velour and the new Choice Suede are both good choices if you want a bit more bass and slightly more mid bass.
@@thor2767 sheepskin is really comfy but it change sound dramatically, velour gonna be my choice if I need to cause stock sound for me is 🔥
Man, I was looking to get the hybrid.. Looks a bit more comfy VS the velour.. But then again velor would save me some
the hybrid sounds the worst by far! Velour is the 2nd best sounding set.
@@thor2767 there is choice suede. The look similar to velour. I have had velour (I think it's velour or something similar at least). Not a fan of leather. Too bad, hybrid looks nice, looks comfy too. I'll probably go velour or suede, good thing they are cheaper too
@@thor2767 not sure how suede sounds though. But based on reviews and comments velour is nice. Wonder if suede is ok too, leaning towards that one, might go velour if some reviews would say it's bad
Pads do not change sound
yayaya go to reddit if you want to have a internet argument.
