Just an update, just got in the new ZMF Ori suede earpads and listening to them on my TH-X00 with the Palo Santo cups. Using custom 'C' attenuators. REALLY liking the sound on my setup - less bass than my Purplehearts, but with better detail, extension, and smoother sounding highs. The look of suede also goes nice with the Palo Santo wood:

VRacer111Your phones look dope! I have the TH-X00 Mahogany in stock form and EMU-Teak with ZMF Ori lambskin pads. Pilot Pad on the way. While the sound signature changed slightly with my new pads on the Teak's the improvement in comfort is worth the trade off.

MusicLoverUnder natural lighting is a truer representation of how they look, but still kind of halfway between the previous indoor LED shop lighting picture above and this sun lit one:

VRacer111looks great!
VRacer111Ey what do these sound like compared to the Teaks? My only problem with the Teaks is that I get a bit harsh sibilance here and there when listening to my music.

PaulBeenisTheParrotHave not heard any E-MU Teaks, but from what I understand they are more laid back than any of the TH-X00s. Like previously mentioned they are kind of like TH-X00 Mahogany cups but with a more neutral (still not neutral...) and detailed sound. If you haven't already done it, I'd suggest trying out the Lawton Audio D.I.Y. Tune-Up which seems to help some with providing less listening fatigue but mainly cleans up the clarity and detail, and gives better instrument separation. For $45 or less it's one of the best things I've done to all my TH-X00s.

And some songs are simply crazy sibilant no matter what they are listened to on, one such I've found is 'COSMIC DARE' off the Seatbelts Ask DNA album. My Koss KPH30i have never sounded so sharp:
VRacer111Butterfly from the Future Blues album has got some very sharp and piercing sibiliance when it comes to the parts Mai Yamane sings in while using the Teaks.
Such as "you're like catching the day'SSSSSSSS SSSSSSSunSSSSet". Although it's not noticeable on my HE500 that I currently have on me right now.
