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.

The headband tension is quick to adjust though! No need to crush the earpads by using books for hours. The headband splits into a top and bottom half section. I suggest using a guitar pick, plastic wedge, or other pry tool (preferably not likely to scratch things), or even just your bare hands. Look how neat the inside design is:

Steps: 1. Remove lower padding by unsnapping along the seam. 2. Remove six screws on one side, which hold the slider in place. 3. Slide the spring steel out on the open side. 4. Adjust spring steel by flexing/stretching it to reduce the amount of tension. 5. Slide back into place making sure it is seated properly and is not pinching the overhead cable. 6. Reinstall slider with the six screws. 7. Align lower padding and press to snap back into place.

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

AxelGrellHi Axel! I'm curious, will there be alternative ear pads available for the OAE1? It would be fantastic to have options to tweak the sound to suit different preferences. Cheers! :)
