What a boost to my Oppo Pm3's
Bought the fenestrated sheepskin pads to replace the (rapidly) disintegrating and no longer available originals on my Oppo PM3's.
The new Drop pads are the correct size but do not clip directly to the Oppo's. I have glued the new pads to the old pads mounting plate. Works perfect.
This results in about 3mm increase in the total pad thickness and a dramatic increase in sound stage.
The quality and comfort of these pads are excellent.

Greater comfort, much better than the stock pads
I love my pandas, but I live in a warmer climate. That means that my head gets real sweaty in a short amount of time with the stock protein ear pads. In the short time I’ve had these, they are much more comfortable and slightly more breathable. The hybrid pads also make it feel less echoey to me. Some absorption is good when is come to sound, and with the hybrid pads, it sounds clearer to me. Or more importantly, I enjoy it more. Perhaps it’s my own bias but the additional comfort really takes it up a step for me. I also really enjoy the sound of hybrid pads, so much so that I have them on four of my other headphones.
my only complaint would be that they added actual instructions to change the pads. There are no photos or videos at this time, the only reference was a comment in the Panda Discussion section on Drop. In the end, it wasn’t difficult, just feel for the plastic ring on the inside of the pad and pry up, and when you put the news ones ones, press firmly. Gotta do it until you hear the click.

RyanPinAWESOME. . . Thanks for sharing your review of the New Drop+THX Panda Ear-pads with us. It was god to hear from someone who has received them, has listened to the new sound they have made and how easy / difficult they were to change. I completely agree with providing instructions or by placing them in a PDF or instructional video form on the product page.

iAmBoomerStrongI will add one more thing, you do lose a little bit of the bass, as you would moving away from full protein pads. It’s still there, just reduced, maybe making a little more neutral. Still, a small sacrifice for comfort. Wearing these now on a walk is a dream and I feel like I had a better seal.

First off removed a star due to no pad removal instructions, it wasn't easy at all removing the stock pads and installing the new ones. you need to use a little extra force in removing and then pressing the new pads in all corners for them to click in.
Hybrid velour pads - The pads are comfortable on the ears, I would say these aren't that far apart from the softness of the stock pads but are stiff to start with and then gently conform to your ears and break and get comfortable. Soundwise and A/B testing vs stock, the hybrids add a little more brightness/grit to the tracks (Fleetwood mac- dreams and Linkin park- don't stay), the overall volume is reduced ever so slightly due to the drivers being a little deeper. The bass loses a little impact, not that it had much to start with. Using the hybrids with EQ I managed to improve the bass and for now these sound good, I wouldn't say much better than the stock pads though, maybe a little more open for sure. The soundstage is slightly wider, at first listen though with female and male vocals I would say they are clearer but require a volume bump. The seal is decent but not better than the stock. If you go out on regular walks or commute and want to avoid sweaty ears these are the way to go.
Sheepskin pads - Update (29 Mar) Just received the sheepskin pads and did my comparison between the h-velour & stock and I have now found the perfect pads for my personal tastes listening to different styles of music. The sheepskin elevates the punchiness of the bass compared to the stock and h-velour. The mids on the stock and h-velour pads sound better to my ears when listening to female or male vocals, however with a little bit of EQ, the sheepskin fit perfectly soundwise to where I would listen to music every day on these, though I would say not everyone will like this as the mids do lose some clarity but not too much. Comfort-wise I would say they will need some break-in time to get softer and adjust to my ears, also for people wearing glasses these will not seal as much as the stock pads. overall I enjoy these a little bit more than the stock so far. It will be interesting to see what the new SoundID app brings to the table for all these pads.
Update 5th April - The Hybrid pads are now my favourite sounding of the bunch with the SoundID EQ app, I managed to dial in a frequency curve that suits these pads, gives it clarity in the high end (it already had great clarity) but also made use of low shelf filters to get the optimum bass response. I tried hard with the sheepskin to get clarity in the upper mids and lower high region but the pads don't suit EQ very well, I believe the sheepskin still sound really good on the stock Panda sound.
To Summarise
Sound
1st - Hybrid Velour (with Sound ID)
2nd - Sheepskin (loved these with equalizer APO)
3rd Stock
Comfort
1st place Hybrid Velour (better for walks outside)
2nd Sheepskin (needs break in to get softer)
3rd Stock (not preferred for outdoor walks as ears do tend to get sweaty)
Cheers Yall!

Excellent replacement earpads
There isn't much to say, these are super comfortable. I'm not a big fan of pleather, so having the option to use fenestrated sheepskin greatly appeals to me. I can't speak as to the long-term durability of these pads, but so far I've gotten at least a year out of all of the other Drop and Dekoni pads built with the same leather and fenestration, and I can live with that.
Highly recommended.

A mixed bag. (All four pairs of earpads tested)
Alright, I have taken it upon myself to purchase every single pair of earpad that's offered here and have spent a lot of my time during the last few days swapping back and forth between earpads to get an opinion on how every one of them changes the sound of the headphones. They all have one thing in common though, which is comfort, and the mounting system, but I will go more in detail in this review.
One thing I want to note before we get into it, I use these headphones primarily at my desk, via Bluetooth. I occasionally plug them in via USB C. I haven't commuted or travelled with these because of obvious reasons. I work from home and I barely take these headphones outside. Now, with that out of the way, let's talk about the pads.
Note: This review is pre-SoundID update. Everything I refer to in terms of sound is corresponding to either the stock Frequency response curve or Oratory1990's EQ. However, due to the flat studio reference curve Sonarworks provides via SoundID being quite similar to Oratory's EQ, some of it can be applied to this review.
What they all have in common:
Comfort. All of the replacement pads don't have this weak fast rebounding foam cushioning, they all have more firm slow rebound memory foam. This is a good thing, at least in my opinion. They add a little more clamping pressure because they're deeper and resist a little bit more than the stock pads. They're deeper? Yes, they have slightly different dimensions compared to the stock pads. The space around your ears is slightly bigger with these pads, both in width and in depth. If you have larger ears and the stock earpads provide discomfort but you like everything else about the Panda, you might have more luck getting a comfortable fit with either of the replacement earpads. It does make a difference. I won't go into detail on comfort in the different earpad sections because all there is to be said, has been said here. The mounting system. In theory, this mounting system is genious. Unclip them, put on other pads and clip them back in. In practice, this is the most inconsistent part about all of the pads. Removing them is pretty straight forward and you can get used to it the more often you do it. All you have to do is put your fingers inside the earcup on either side and feel for the plastic. Then insert your fingers under the plastic and apply pressure upwards, away from the headphone and also to the side, like you want to shove them off of the headphone towards the edge. Once one side is off, you do the same thing on the opposite side and you're done. No tools required. What's bad about the mounting system is getting the pads to actually click in place. The left and right side are, again, very straight forward and getting the clicking sound is easy. Apply pressure over the clips and it clicks. However, there are also clips on the top and bottom and it's merely a gamble if you can get them to click or not. I've tried everything, applying an uncomfortable amount of pressure to the clips, nothing. Trying to get the top and bottom to click before the sides, nothing. Now, it's not like you can't get them to click, but it's pretty inconsistent and random. Sometimes you get a click right away, no matter what clips are already in place, sometimes you have to try a bit harder and it'll eventually click, sometimes it doesn't at all. However, it's not that big of a deal if the top and bottom click or not, if you press down on the clips, the adhesive will keep them in place, as long as you don't pull on the parts of the pad the clips are hidden under. Time will tell how long it'll take for the adhesive to dry out and not work anymore, especially when you have pads lying around that aren't attached to anything. Covers would've been nice. I store mine in a box. Now, for the first contender, the sheepskin earpads: This was the easiest one to get out of the way because the sound and passive isolation is very, very similar to the stock pads. However, because since I've applied Oratory 1990's EQ on my headphones, I still don't like the sound signature when the EQ is turned off. But this can also be circumvented by applying said EQ. It still works as well as on the stock earpads because sound signature, to my ear, is the same. If you're fine with the frequency response of the stock pads, you'll like this one. But on the other hand.. you already have earpads that do exactly that. Soundstage, however is a little different from the stock pads. Due to slightly different dimensions, the space inside the earcup is a little bigger, making the soundstage feel ever so slightly wider, even if the purchasing site of the pads doesn't mention it. Verdict: If you want (almost) the exact same sound signature as the stock pads, be it with an EQ designed for the stock pads, or because you like the stock frequency response, but want a more comfortable wearing experience, get these. I would imagine that this is a fairly niche target audience so if you're fine with the stock pads and have no complaints, you're better off staying with the stock pads. If not, read on! Second, the fenestrated sheepskin earpads: These are the worst of the bunch. Now that I've got that out of the way, let's talk about why. They change the sound a bit. But to the worse. They give a little more high end, but the sound is still pretty veiled overall, similar to the stock and sheepskin earpads. The low end is a little receded, but the lower midrange bloat is still present. However, in this case, if you don't like the stock frequency response and the little added high end doesn't do it for you, applying an EQ that's made for the stock earpads won't work without adjusting it. Highs get sibilant and harsh pretty quickly on these, if an EQ for the stock pads is applied. If you liked the stock frequency response on the other side, you won't like these either because the low end that's already a little lacking on the stock pads is even less present on these. On the other hand, you get a little more detail out of them, for what it's worth. But you also get less passive sound isolation because of the perforations all over the pads, making them not really viable for commutes or travels. In terms of soundstage, they don't offer much more soundstage than the sheepskin earpads do. It's barely noticeable. Compared to the stock earpads however, it is definitely noticeable. But so is the difference on the regular sheepskin pads. Verdict: I don't quite know who these might be for. They don't change the sound a lot, but they do change enough to make the overall sound worse for both the people who like the stock sound and the ones who slapped an EQ on their headphones. Even for people who would want a bigger soundstage, every other pad has similar soundstage, if not better. Just.. don't get these. You're better off with another pair. Continuing on.. Third, the hybrid velour earpads: I like these the most of all of them. They actually change the sound in a meaningful way. If you're a fan of the stock frequency response, they might not be for you. But for people who like a more balanced sound, these are the ones to get. They have the same low end response as the stock pads do, but with much less of the lower midrange bloat, surprisingly. They also add quite a bit of detail in the high end, making them sound really close to Oratory 1990's EQ.. without the EQ applied. Applying the EQ makes them sound a little harsh on the higher frequencies and it adds a little more low end, just like on the stock pads, but removes a little too much from the midrange in my opinion, making them sound thin. These pads are for the ones who used to have to apply an EQ to the headphones to reveal more detail and remove bloat in the lower midrange. They do (almost) exactly that. But it has to be noted, that they're a little worse in terms of passive noise isolation, but nowhere near as bad as the fenestrated sheepskin pads. You might get away with commuting / travelling with these, but it might not be quite as nice as with the stock pads or the sheepskin ones. Soundstage is also a strong suit of these pads. They offer the same increase in soundstage as the sheepskin pads, but even more. They widen the sound a lot compared to the stock pads, and it's even noticeable when comparing to the sheepskin pads. It's most likely not as wide as some nice open back headphones, but it's wider than I've ever heard while still isolating from outside noise, which is what I want from a closed back headphone, so that's a win in my book. Verdict: If you want a more flat sound on the Panda and you've been EQ'ing them to get that sound out of them, get these pads. I feel fairly confident in saying that you won't need an EQ anymore with these. They are 100% worth their money, at least in my opinion. However, they might not be ideal when you're planning on travelling or commuting with them, but you'll have to find out about that yourself. And lastly, the 'elite' velour earpads: These pads offer a truly flat frequency response. However, deep bass is almost not present anymore, the whole midrange spectrum is still strong across the board and highs are sparkly. If you want your Panda to sound like that, look no further. But I personally prefer the sound that the hybrid velour pads provide. Applying Oratory's EQ to these pads is almost comical, because highs get very harsh, mids are very not present anymore and you still get no bass, no matter how much the headphone tries. They sound very thin with that EQ. But like with the hybrid velour pads, you will likely not need an EQ to make them sound nice, to begin with. What I can also say is that passive noise isolation is completely out of the window with these. You can hear everything through them, just like I hear my keyboard typing this part of the review right now. These will most likely not be your travelling / commuting pads, unless you like being aware of your surroundings and have music not be a focus. I would use these only at home in quiet environments. Soundstage on these is very similar to the hybrid velour pads. I can't notice a difference between the two, no matter how much I try, but soundstage is pretty wide on both of them anyway. Verdict: If you want a more balanced sound signature on your headphone, get the hybrid velour pads. That's it. You get pretty much everything you have on the hybrid velour pads, along with no isolation and less bass. Sure, the frequency response is even more flat, but the usually fun headphone turns into a pretty boring one. Overall conclusion: If I had to recommend any of the pads from my point of view, I would get the hybrid velour pads for at home listening and the sheepskin pads for travelling, along with an EQ. Anything else is pretty much a waste of money. And if you're the kind of person that likes the Panda as is, you would save a little more money by only getting the sheepskin pads to improve comfort, if you have issues with that. I've been listening to music during the writing of this whole review, switching the pads according to which one I was describing at the time, so listening memory was very fresh. I hope this helped you making a buying decision on one of the pads, or even stopped you from buying any one of them because you like the stock pads. And I wish there was a Yes and No option of recommending a product on this review page. Oh well. Have a good day!

NuclearCoreThis is exactly the review I needed to see, thank you. Glad to know that the hybrid pads maintain the low end and provide sparkle up top, plus the added benefit of not having sweaty leatherish stuff against my head. With the stock pads I end up literally dripping sweat after less than 30 minutes if I'm doing anything other than sitting perfectly still. I hate leather pads on any headphones, which is unfortunate because leather usually maintains the best bass response.
Thanks again for the detailed review.

Hybrid Velour was a fix for the sweaty ear
The pad swap solved my biggest complaint with the stock pads which made my ears very hot and sweaty. There was a minor improvement to sound stage and openness with the Hybrids. The pad replacement was un-intuitive, even with knowing where the clips were. I snapped one of the clip tabs on the stock pads trying to take it off.
Using a pry tool (don't use metal like me - find hard plastic) insert between the pad and the cup and push inwards toward the center of the cup. There should be a small click and it will be looser when pulling on the pad away from the cup. I recommend starting on either of the top two clips, once one is released the others are easier to get out using the same method. Don't try and force it too much, remove and re-insert your tool before resorting to more pressure. there are small bumps that you can see by squishing the pad away from the cup. these are around where you want to be prying.
When installing the new pads I was able to get all but one of the clips (in different spots) on each cup in using just my hands to squeeze with moderate force. The final clip would not go in with any amount of force applied with my fingers or hands. To get the final clips in I reused the pry tool and pushed directly on the clip. It worked like a breeze compared to using brute force. If I were to do this again I would use my hands for the first few easy clips and switch to the pry tool as soon as it required more force to avoid damaging anything.

Great Comfort
Got the elite velour. It improved the "hotness" drastically. The stock pad comfort was bearable but i am staying at hot&humid place, so my ears started sweating after 3 to 4 songs. For people who faced this problem, this earpad is a perfect option because i can wear this pads for hours without experiencing discomfort.
However, i would say that it affected the sound a lot. Mainly it turned the headphones to semi closed back, so you lost the tight bass. Somehow the timbre is also not as natural. It does increase the soundstage by an obvious margin.
For me, it is a fair tradeoff

Solid replacements
Got a set of the 'Elite Velour' cups, and they're exactly what'd you'd expect; comfy, don't compress too much, fit great, and change the sound profile quite a bit. Compared to the stock pads they let in vastly more noise / room which takes a tiny bit of getting used to, but they're also lot less claustrophobic and sweat-inducing.

The sound is still good with added comfort for the Hybrid.
