Any issues with fitting the headphones back into the sony case after installing these ear pads? I installed some Earpads Meze 99 Classics & Neo on my MDR1000X which completely fixed the discomfort for my ears in sony's teeny tiny OEM pads. However, the fit inside the sony storage case is noticeably tighter now. These Dekoni pads look like a very nice upgrade over the Meze pads I installed... (have an itchy "join drop" trigger finger shaking right now...) BTW, the pad fitment is a bit finicky on these cans and requires patience to get everything snapped in. If all clips are not snapped in properly, the superb noise cancelling doesn't work as well as the pad isn't fully sealed to the ear cups.

FreakyFredseems to fit in the case just fine for me https://i.imgur.com/Ekx0l8Z.jpg (just to prove they are the Dekoni pads https://i.imgur.com/yhdp1wZ.jpg)
FreakyFredDekoni recently published a pad install demo video, which starts with them taking it out of the case and ends with them setting it back in. And throwing Nuggets at it. The Pads are made for the Sony and look so good that they look like they could be stock.

FreakyFredJust a quick follow up, even thought this drop just ended... I ordered these pads from Amazon for just a few $ more than this drop just so I could return them if needed (spoiler: I'm keeping them) These do fit the 1st gen MDR-1000X headphones just fine with the same finicky hard to clip in mounts (Sony's fault, not Dekoni). The clip mounts are at the exact same location between the OEM pads and the ones included on the Dekoni pads. These are a bit more comfortable than the Earpads Meze 99 Classics & Neo pads I previously installed. The Meze pads are a bit thicker (hence my case fit question) than the Dekoni pads. However, the Dekoni pads have what I perceive to be a better foam in the pad as they seal much better, especially when I'm wearing glasses. Comfort level is a bit better with the Dekoni pads over the Meze pads, especially with the Dekoni "suede" vs. Meze pleather. Comfort of the Dekoni vs. the horrible teeny tiny OEM Sony pads is a night and day difference, especially if you have anything over medium sized ears. The noise canceling performance is still excellent and I haven't noticed any change in the audio quality either.
