Dear Drop,
Stop putting these dekoni pads up for sale and alienating all your customers who have purchased the Elex.
We do not want dekoni pads.
We want authentic stock Focal made Elex replacement pads.
What's the point of selling the Elex if you do not provide the option to purchase the original replacement pads for them?
Dekoni pads are built poorly and do not provide the same sound tuning as the stock pads. We care about sound.
Sincerely,
All Elex owners

I've bought a couple sets of these pads and they are super nice as well. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07R2FKMTD/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got one pair of them on my Audio Technica A2000Zs I got from here last Drop.
Probably about half the cost of the ZMFs? I still want to snag some ZMFs though to see the difference.

Here are FR graphs:

Dekoni *must* do this for all their pads - I did not like the fenestrated or sheepskin pads on my TH-X00, but love the fenestrated pads on my HD600 (but not HD650!). I'm also trying to track down a sensibly priced HD800 to do some pad rolling.
I was hoping these pads would warm up my Clear a little, but I see a fairly big boost at 8kHz across the board.

There's a reason why Tyll measures with the headphones at multiple positions on his dummy head and averages the results

Has anybody tried hybrid or sheepskin pads with Elegia? What are the differences from the stock pads?

Cynical_ManI have both. The Sheepskins definitely add more to the low end (not a ton, but it is a welcome increase) and makes them a bit more V-shaped (just more so over their current FR). The hybrids add some more to the lows as well, but not as much as the sheepskin and more to the mids and highs as well - a more gentle V-shape.
I personally keep the sheepskin pads on them as they're closest to the Stellia pad and push the Elegia in that direction FR wise.

The fenestrated sheepskin pads sell for $10 more on Amazon with prime shipping and returns. Not sure why anyone would buy them here... 1 month wait and no options to return them if you don't like them -- seems like a bad deal for $10 in savings. Gotta sweeten the deal a little, MD if you want to sell these.

Dekoni has some fenestrated sheepskin pads on sale for $50 with a small manufacturing defect. Got mine there. They work perfectly on the Elears. https://dekoniaudio.com/product/manufacturing-defect-dekoni-audio-elite-fenestrated-sheepskin-earpad-set-for-focal-elear-clear-utopia/

Thank you Dekoni for making this. As much as I respect Focal for their transducers and speakers, if you're going to price earpads into the stratosphere, you're basically inviting someone else to call bullshit and become your competitor.

I have Elex's and wouldn't mind them either having a.) a bit more bass, b.) a bit more treble sparkle, or c.) just more energy or dynamic of a sound. Can anyone comment on if one of these pads in particular might be a good choice for me, or should I just stick with stock?

sorry Man.
I do not have Elegia.
Look my picture under Dekoni Focal pads (The second from recent)
Only Elex, Celestee, Clear Pro, Radiance
From my prospective the Stellia Limited Edition Pads have been designed for close back Focals, so.
IMHO from the all variances they are the best for Elegia.
I have installed them on my Radiance and Celestee.
Very happy with that.
Regards,
Kim

Thank you so much! I got the perforated sheepskin and the sound is exactly like you described. I tested it by listening to different hz of sinewave sound and the perforated sheepskin did bring up a bit of sub-bass until around 150hz and tiny tiny bit of highs. Since I normally enjoy slight V-shaped sound signature a lot this just makes the Elex even more enjoyable for me. Your thorough testing and description really helps a lot!

TrixbunnyI've tried the velours and sheepskin on the Elegia. The velour sound horrible, they cause some bad peaks in the treble region but on my Clears they were acceptable. I have the sheepskin on my Elegia now and swap between the stock pads and these every now and then but haven't done any significant A to B testing. To my ears they add bass without messing with the stock tonality much. I'm not really capable of going into more detail than that. Overall I prefer the stock pads with EQ but these are a fine replacement if you want a cheapish replacement or want to add some bass without fiddling with EQ.

Hello,
Recieved my Elite fenestrated sheepskin pads today and installed. I noticed one of the earpads was not the same thickness all the way around. I’ve emailed Dekoni to ask about. Another quality control issue that I’ve experienced with their pads, the other was with the same style for my Sennheiser HD 800s. Those earpads won‘t come off. I’ve included a pic of the Focal pad. Not sure if I will purchase again. Cheers.
I emailed Dekoni and they are sending me a replacement set at no additional cost, I believe. Still waiting for confirmation and their arrival (the replacements).
Cheers!

AudiowalkerI got some of my Dekoni stuff with the same issues. I do think Dekoni should improve their quality control if they want to become the "Comply for big cans". Please improve QC!!!! Sending replacements easily to complainers is not the way to go.

AudiowalkerYeah, mine also look pretty amateurishly made. For the cost one would hope for better.
