Do these pads alter the sound of the headphone?

YES. I've tried them on both the 58x and 6xx. The 58x is already more bass-forward, and adding the velour pads with denser foam compared to stock pads made them too muddy for my taste. On the 6xx you sacrifice a little bit of clarity but if you feel that the 6xx needs more bass, these pads will likely improve the sound for you. I personally like them on the 6xx and really dislike them on the 58x. I do feel they're warmer (temperature) while wearing vs. stock pads as well.

For the hybrid pads with the 6xx, absolutely. Recessed highs, increased bass and sub-bass. It turns Sennheiser's slightly warm, relaxed sound into a VERY warm, properly veiled sound imo. I didn't like it, it felt too warm and almost like a closed-back to me with how much air was sucked out of the highs.

Yes, significantly. It makes them a lot warmer and increases bass a bit. You’re honestly better off sticking to stock pads.

For the 6XX: Yes, they do. Sub-bass is increased, but bass in general feels somewhat bloatier. Highs (and maybe mids) got a little bit receded, thus some detail is lost. The headphone now sounds more laid-back. Maybe this is will be mitigated when the pad's foam starts to wear out.

If they're going on the 58x, there's a definite noticeable increase in bass, and likewise a bit softened mids and highs. I actually prefer the sound change as i use them mostly for gaming and movies, and music just on the occasion. I can see avid music listeners not being a huge fan of the sound change as it is quite a bit deeper... almost cinematic in a way. Also, these block out outside noise much more than the stock pads which i hadn't heard anyone else mentioned and was one of the first things i noticed. Overall i'd say it is a slight upgrade to the stock pads, but does change the sound significantly. Hope that helps.

If they’re loud enough they’ll “block out” sounds...but these headphones generally aren’t the type you’d use to be blocking out sounds to begin with. Hope it helps.

both The 58x and 6xx are open backs, so you won’t ever really block everything out.

The foam mesh that covers the driver on my HD6xx is crumbling. The drivers became partially exposed. Tiny sponge particles are all over the earcup and inside the drivers. (a) I don't see that the earpad replacements come with this foam. (b) How do I repair this? Can it even be repaired? Tiny crumbles of the sponge / mesh are all over and inside the driver and I'm afraid of damaging it when repairing. Help please.

Sounds an attractive product to purchase. Question: I believe that the TV hast to have a Bluetooth emisor of the audio ? - What if it does not ? What does one need to purchase, if the TV does not emit the audio ? Maybe all Smart TVs also emit the Audio by Bluetooth ? Sorry for the basic questions...a bit confused.

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
