Has anyone tried alternate ear pads, like ZMF Ori Perforated, ZMF Universe Perforated, or any Dekoni perforated. Since ear pads for the Vali are out of stock, I'd like to experiment with others. I would appreciate some feedback on pad swapping!
cuteEarpads on Vali are very specific, so I must warn you. Of course we did not try every ear pad out there, but indeed, at the very least it must be perforated leather. Non-leaky pads will not work for sure. Velour or alcantara are generally not leaky enough as well.
We have ear pads right now, so we will set them back in stock.
Still, if anybody find any third-party ear pads that fit the the Vali sonically - please let me know :)
DrakkardVali needs ear pads with a larger, ear shape opening (taller vertically). I don't know anyone with round ears. Opening should be at least 70mm tall X 50mm wide would be ideal. The current pads won't fit many westerners!
DrakkardI really like the Vali, also like dynamic driver headphones. I have had the ZMF dynamic driver phones, including the ZMF Autuer their open back, and I prefer the Vali over the Autuer, better bass, imaging on the Vali, and the Autuer is twice the price + of the Vali. The ear pad fit is what is holding the Vali back for me, and that is why I won't be keeping them! I can't imagine the New Odin MK 3, Thror has solved the ear pad fit problem either?
