My skin says "Not bad", my 58x's say "Clarity? Where did it go?"
Material is nice, the comfort is nice, the pads seems well made despite issues that only SOME have. But..... I've had them on my 58x's for about 2 months. I noticed something very strange. I A/B'd them with and without the foam shields in the back and in the cup. With the stock pads, there's a bit more clarity in treble. I think it's the material. It puts a bit of a"filter" on the top end. I wanted to be ok with these but It changes the sound of the 58x too much for me. Some people are ok with it, and if you can do it then you are a better man than I. Be aware of this issue, clarity in things like female vocals and guitar attacks will just not be as good. It's not for everyone that this happens to but that doesn't mean it can't happen to you. If anyone else had this issue feel free to state it to ensure I'm not crazy.

braunjt10I just posted a similar review. I used the velour pads on the HD6xx. It didn't take me 2 months though. In only a couple of minutes of use the stock pads were back on. Your description of the sound signature change is reasonable accurate. It basically made them sound muddy, boomy, and lost clarity in the high frequencies. I didn't expect the pads to make that much of a difference, but they did.
