I personally enjoy the suede the most sound wise as well

I have also concluded with the suedes as well. In addition, I found them more comfortable.

I have officially joined the cult. Just ordered the carbons today can’t wait to try them out. This will be my first biodyna headphone.

Whelp, time for us to visit a tattoo shop I suppose…

Yea I’m just messing with them while the burn in for the next month lol. The suede ones are more intense so I like them, but I’m hoping it levels out a little with more use. And yes the 1540 pads work fine. Just checking if someone else can give me sound impressions lol

Soren_Peregrine · January 30, 2020, 6:12pm

I think it will get more resolved the longer you use them. Suede pads are for sure the way to go.
Didn’t know the 1540 pads fit these! This is interesting…

Which key caps are those? The ones found on drop?

M0N · January 30, 2020, 6:16pm

GMK red suns red samurai it looks like?

Veritas · January 30, 2020, 6:17pm

That was my guess too

Mufflertape · January 30, 2020, 6:45pm

Yepp, correct, had to wait 6 months for them but glad I got them, they look great.

Veritas · January 30, 2020, 8:20pm

Any ideas where to look/shop to find specific keys? I just want to mod my backspace and space bar. I can’t find anywhere with backspace.

Davidibiza · January 30, 2020, 9:47pm

No luck, the seller only goes down 5 euros. He can keep it…

Soren_Peregrine · January 30, 2020, 9:54pm

Aw bummer! I hope you can find some eventually!

Davidibiza · January 30, 2020, 11:19pm

The thing I will never understand is why some sellers select the make an offer option in eBay if they are not going to use it. Anyway, if any of you guys see one for sell in the US at a reasonable price let me know I will check it out… Thx

Aaaaaaaa
Y’know I’m surprised how well the little Apple headphone dongle is working as a makeshift dac for my Asgard. It’s tempting me to spend the $250 I’m saving up for on the Nighthawks rather than the Multibit card addon for the Asgard-

You would have to poke holes into the shure pads to fit into the rings.

I may try for shits and giggles since I have the alcantara pads coming in tomorrow for my noirs. I actually literally just tried these pads on the mezes however. Popped out the rings and slid them on. Actually sounded pretty damn decent and was so much more comfy than the noirs pads, as they are so small. They were a little loose but stayed on okay. I think the alcantara pads would have to be stretched a bit to fit on the rings which wouldn’t be to easy. I’d imagine it would open them up a bit and probably lose some bass.

If I hate the alcantaras on my noirs I will give it a shot and let y’all know.

For science!!!

AECH · January 31, 2020, 5:04am

Ahhhhh nevermind. I see you tried already lol. Good job haha. Looks kinda neat. I’ll say that.

AECH · January 31, 2020, 5:06am

I’m still switching between the suede and leather myself. For some songs the suedes bass just comes in too hot. But def more comfortable.

Mufflertape · January 31, 2020, 5:23am

Hey, don’t poke holes in the pads, you don’t need too, it works with out it. just be careful removing and placing them on the retention ring etc.

Sound: to me they lose some sub-bass, but the mid bass get punchy and the sound is really clear overall, it sounds more balanced.
