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.

SJ_LeeCan you measure these, I find subjectively it definitely warms up the bottom end without reducing the soundstage size (as they keep the same thickness as stock): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GSWPXV1/ Much cheaper too for great quality, so imo a better value.

elauI bought pads and I got these today. misodiko pad quality and thickness quite good. soft/slow memory foam and just slightly thicker than stock. and another good point is ear-side rim of pad. it is not a sqaure flat stitch. more likely to stock pads. kind of slight arch. but, before I measured, when I just listen short time, I feel some weird muffled sound in some frequency area and it figured out through measurement. here are measurement graphs. all aligned at 1khz 84dB. legend difference against previous graph, is dB steps 10dB to 5dB for easy compare. purple : hd800s stock. tarnish yellow : dekoni elite velour red : misodiko lambskin. (all measure of 3 pads with stock inner liner)

20hz to 1khz region, it fairly good to maintain the original sound.(or better than stock 800s) but 3-4khz deep is more steep & deeper and also boosted bad 7khz peek. (7khz boosted peek also noticable when I listen music. it definitely makes me more stressful and itch) that may caused from pad inner side reflection. inner side of misodiko pad also leather(maybe artificial) and flat plastic ring inside of leather ease to reflecting. but stock pad's inner side was just soft fabric.

SJ_LeeAppreciate you measuring these! Do you prefer the stock or the dekoni's?

elaupersonally, 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)
