Happy camper here. I got the Elite fenestrated sheepskin pads for my Audeze LCD2C's. They breathe a bit so the ears don't get quite so warm and the ventilation of the pads actually makes the headphones sound better. I find that big ol' planar headphones need to breathe a bit, from the pad side, to get the best sound out of them, rather than being in a vacuum, as these 2C's, with stock pads, created a vacuum on my head when I put them on and it seemed to somewhat constrain the sound. I am now experiencing more impactful low end, crisper highs, with slightly improved space. The 2C's are now more lively and energetic, to me....but still refined and precise, in typical planar fashion. These pads are a good buy if you have the 2C's. In my opinion, they make these already awesome headphones sound better. In addition, they look a little more high end with that nice vented leather...I added a photo for reference.
