Is the headband padding going to be replaceable? Over time it's generally the padding on this type of design that I end up replacing or swapping out for an aftermarket solution (Sennheisers were pretty friendly in that regard and other brands have suspension headbands you can replace). I found the Panda's headband to be lacking but couldn't really do much with it since the band was generally too thick top to bottom but also too narrow front to back to wrap an aftermarket solution around.
Edit: I read a Reddit comment that stated the cushion snaps together and it should be replaceable with aftermarket options.

All pads (ear-pads, head-cushion and headband cover) are user replaceble.

Will there be a 4 pin XLR balanced cable available for this?
Alternatively, if I were to order one from another company, would I want a single sided cable, TRRRS (4 pole?) 2.5mm to 4 pin XLR?
It's important for me to get it right, as my main amp (Nitsch DSHA-3FN) is balanced only, and any mis-wiring of the cable could short out the amp! That would not be good...

I have similar question:
if we want to use balance should we get dual 2.5mm to 4 pin xlr?
it seems the 4.4mm cable that comes with it only connects to one 2.5mm plug on one side of the headphones? Weird..
i wonder if my 4.4 to 4pin xlr adapter would work with the included 4.4mm cable?

- Cable 2: 6 ft (1.8 m) single-sided TRRRS balanced cable (single-entry)

MikeypasThe cable concept of the OAE1 is very flexible. You can use single sided balanced or unbalaced cables or double sided balanced or unbalanced cables. The sockets for balanced (and unbalanced) signals on the left and on the right side are connected with a balanced over-the-head cable. When the 4.4 to 4 pin XLR is made according to the standards it will work without problems.

fsmartgI did that, including comparisons to the HD 650 (6xx), HD 800 in the comments below the review.

AxelGrellThe 2.5mm options on the market usually come with TRS 2.5mm plug on the headphone side. Are they compatible with OAE1?

The flux density is about 1 Tesla (the most dynamic drivers have flux density between 0.6 and 1.2 Tesla).

The first 1000 are the Signature Edition. After the first 1000 sell, the following will not be the Signature Edition.

Correction: Made in china. Refer to Axel's comment below.
In a video interview Axell said that one of the parts was made in the same factory as the HD800 so possibly Germany. Although I'm not certain. You can find the video in the most recent "story" post.
