The BossHifi B8 is an amazing headphone.
Build quality, detail retrieval, relatively flat frequency response, and large (wide) soundstage... all categories in which I'm confident that the B8 is among the best of any sub-$200 closed-back headphone.
Having said that, their uncomfortable, sound-gimping, stock pads absolutely must be replaced. After extensive pad-rolling, I found that using the Brainwavz Oval MicroSuede Pads result in the tightest, most-extended, and flattest bass, with the most-refined treble and imaging. For a larger sound-stage, choose the Brainwavz XL MicroSuede Pads which feature a larger, circular, ear opening.
Compared to using the MicroSuede Pads, the Brainwavz XL Hybrid Pads result in a more-spacious, richer, warmer sound... slightly brighter, but with less detail. The sound-stage is wider, but precise imaging suffers a bit. Center imaging is still excellent, though, especially for vocals.
Brainwavz Oval Sheepskin Pads installed result in a bassy, dark sound... still quite cohesive and enjoyable for pop music and general listening.
Keep in mind, I have modified my B8 by adding internal dampening material to tighten the bass (see below). I recommend installing XL Pads only if you secure them with 1-2 mm of padding material. Otherwise, the pads are prone to falling off due to their over-sized round size pads being a bit big for the more-oval-shaped cups of the B8. Having said this, the sound you are rewarded with might just be worth the slight inconvenience, especially for home users.

Having previously posted in these discussions and been asked about the BLON B8 compared to the Sivga SV006, I acquired a new (revised model) B8 and can confirm: The B8 is identical to the SV006 - just unbranded.
The original B8's headband-too-large issue has been corrected with this updated model, which also has a narrower sound-stage compared to the original model.
The only catch is, the uncomfortable and sound-hindering stock pads absolutely must be replaced. After experimenting with over a dozen pad models, I recommend the Brainwavz Angled PU Leather Pads, which result in a large soundstage and overall balanced sound. Although they lack in the aspect of ventilation, these synthetic 'pleather' pads don't sound bloated or dark, as with real leather pads .
Honorable mentions:
- The 'dark grey velour' pads from a brand called misodiko (Amazon item B07QWZYTGF). These pads provide a good center-image - excellent with vocal tracks - but somewhat tame the bass response.
- Brainwavz' Micro Suede Pads breathe result in a rather dry sound, with a smaller sound-stage... but everything about the sound is under control and precise.

It looks like the newer version has 2 connectors. It's interesting if they changed drivers.
@mattris I found angled earpads with the same dimenions as Brainwavz Angled PU Leather Pads on Aliexpress: https://pl.aliexpress.com/item/1005001774909136.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5cb2460avM8w0C&algo_pvid=a2603995-0df4-4be3-8404-8428aa85753f&algo_expid=a2603995-0df4-4be3-8404-8428aa85753f-0&btsid=2100bdde16207159681682654e1d26&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

Just out of curiosity what is the point of all these wood-earcup headphones? Natural hardwoods have resonances that are difficult to control, compared with synthetic materials or engineered wood. So at best wood earcups would have no positive impact on the sound and at worst add colorations. I guess it's all about looks?

The outer material is indeed wood. Your thoughts are irrelevant it is or it isnt. And this most certinally is.

factsvsfeelingsIt seems like a composite -- more plastic than wood, like shaved wood molded and glued to plastic, for decoration. They look fine and are sturdy, so poor design for normal humans head is the real hurdle with these. Apparently there are 3rd party pads at various prices that help give these the fit (for some heads at least) that these worth the price.

Sure. First of all, the entirety of the stock pads are made of soft materials (no plastic to break). The procedure to remove each earpad, one at a time:
With one hand, hold the metal cup-frame. With your other hand (using your thumb and pointer finger), pull the pad toward you. This will loosen the lip from the black plastic frame piece. Work the lip around until the pad comes off. You won't damage the pads. But trust me, you'll never want to use them again after you hear your B8s with the vastly more-comfortable Brainwavz MicroSuede pads.)

These are from a line of Chinese OEMs, better known as Sivga SV006.
There's not much on the V006 but the others have been pretty thoroughly reviewed almost universally positive.

Probably a good value.

My updated Brainwavz ear pad (oval) recommendations for the BossHifi B8:
Micro Suede Pads (most cohesive sound, most comfortable)
Sheepskin Leather (most bass and tames the treble)
Suede Leather (haven't heard yet, but I expect they would be more breathable with slightly less bass than the sheepskin pads)
Brainwavz' standard protein leather are the least expensive option and sound quite good with the B8... but are the least breathable.

I've been reading a few complaints about the size of this thing. Does anyone who own a pair and also own headphones like the Audio Technica ATH-AD900 and Beyer DT-250, kindly comment on the size and fit of the BLON in relation to those?

Yes. Also, Brainwavz' thinner pads made for Sony (MDR-7506 series) will also fit the B8... and would likely result in less bass and more mids/treble.

I owned these and regifted them to someone with a huge head.
These don't fit a medium framed 5'10" guy -- they had to rest on the top of my ears and provided no seal. So, they sucked as far as sound quality. Holding these up to my ears didn't impress me enough to bother with mods. These are only good for modders, which is fine for them but not for someone looking for professionally designed headphones.
The "wood" could be a plasticized molded wood, but it's not what you'd think of as a wood cup. But the build is sturdy and should work -- with new pads -- for larger heads. ...Look below for varied opinions on pad option.

I bought a pair of these off Amazon at $100 for my Dad's birthday two years ago. Two weeks later, after checking them out with my Dad, I bought a second pair at the same price. Now I'm thinking about buying a third....
Here is my Amazon review: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1L834H42X4TS0/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B01HZ7QDBK

Finally got mine after it got stuck for more than a month at our local post. Listened to it with the stock pads for only 1 song and immediately changed to my linen memory foam pads which is miles ahead in comfort. Here are my quick impressions:
*Build quality is excellent, could be mistaken for a much more expensive HP around the $200-$300 range.
*Signature is neutral but could give the impression that the mids are a bit forward
*Separation and clarity is as advertised, I could easily pick out the instruments when listening to What Death Leaves Behind by Los Campensinos!
*Highs are great, cymbals and strings shines when listening to 7 Days by Sting
*Mids and vocals are awesome, listening to Florence and the Machine/Adele/Sam Smith sounds like their vocals are front and center
*Bass is weighty & controlled, but does not rumble (so far). Feels like a the bass of a BA driver compared to a dynamic driver IEM.
*Great for rock/metal/alternative/pop but could could lack with rap/hiphop due to the smoother bass signature

Does it have the same driver as Monoprice M650 ??
[EDIT]
It seems like this is just an OEM SIVGA SV006
