I just got these delivered today after waiting patiently for 2 weeks. First of all these are some sexy looking cans… Secondly, these are truly an enjoyable listen. Coming from the 990 DT’s, these are pretty refreshing. They’re also very very comfortable, but I am aware that the pads wear out after about a year so I’ll have to grab another pair. But overall, probably the best $350 I’ve ever spent.
For me, about six months in the pads are way more comfortable than new. They’re a little tough at first, especially with glasses. They soften up over time. A little too quickly for some I surmise.
I buy new pads for my Senns every January. There’s always an improvement in bass.
What pads do you usually go with?
