Following the success of its premium ear pads for Massdrop collaborations like the Sennheiser HD 6XX and Fostex TH-X00, Dekoni has expanded its range of pads once again—this time to Sennheiser’s popular high-end offerings, the HD 800, HD 800 S, and HD 8XX. These pads provide a breathable, cushioned, enveloped feel for hours of fatigue-free listening—all while leaving you with enough isolation to enjoy your favorite records Read More
Does the regular sheepskin pad has that same smell as fenestrated sheepskin? I want a pair of HD800 pads but don't like the smell. Anyone got experience to share? Thank you very much.
I missed last drop. so I ordered velour and fenetrated from amazon and it delivered today.
I measured and listened also with my hd800s.
pad product quality itself is good enough and comfort.
but these... these just change the sound characteristic compare to original pad.
(and I knew these would be happen from someone's the reddit/head-fi review)
it lose bass/lower bass a bit which you could notice directly not only from the measurements difference.
these may need to be less thick. maybe half thickness itself.
original pad only 1/3~1/4 thickness against these. (except plastic rim, pad sponge only)
here is my measurements from hd800s with miniDSP ears.
graphs are alinged at 1khz and no smooth aplied.
red : stock L/R average.
green : fenestrated sheepskin L/R average.
blue : elite velour L/R average.
(I put the original inner liner stay in)

I do not recommend these pads to anyone who want to keep original sound characteristic.
these look good when just display at headphone hanger and feel comfort when you wearing it on.
but sound just different.
personally, for sound, stock pad is the best as it.
but even with stock, hd800s is not my daily main.
because of slight emphasized highs of hd800s make me tired early.
my ear bit sensitve that frequency area.
(I mean over 6~10 hours usage. less than 4hours maybe OK to me also)
Just to let everyone know those pads dropped on dekoni's website. they're avaliable for 79.99 in elite sheepskin, fenestrated and the hybrid and its 59.99 for the elite velour
