I have both the suede and the hybrid suede. I personally find nothing airy or perforated work well on the TR-X00s. They actually sound quite bad. They are much more suited to open back headphones.
Thereās a reason most pads on open back headphones are perforated and most pads on closed backs are not. Just look at any of the ZMF headphones.
For comfort, you canāt beat theseā¦ These are what Iām rockin on my Aeolus.
Yep this is the listing. I feel everything not from germany is rather expensive hereā¦but i guess its the same in reverse for german products in other countrys.
Thanks for the words, i might actually jump on that, even tho i wanted to try completely different things first 
But i will read a bit in the linked thread before.
They never sold much in Europe. The EU listing on drop had a few dozen purchases be for it was totally out of stock so I would imagine they are less common over there. But like I said, I think they are worth it and the condition + cable mods make that one seem pretty desirable.
As you will see in the other thread, I really love my PH. They are the most fun and best sounding headphones Iāve heard and can be made even better with some rather cheap mods.
I use Ori hybrids on mine. They have no perforations so they sound the same as a normal lambskin pad but with the added comfort of the suede face. I no longer need any more pads for my X00s. My journey is at an end (until I inevitably do the full Lawton mod).
Yes, they are defintely not so common here. Drop products in general, because we have to pay 19% tax + customs feeāthat diminishes the drop discount completely.
The guy gives brainwavz pads + attentuator rings aswell. Im just reading. Seems that they are pretty fun headphones overall. I just thinkā¦why not, if i dont like them, i can sell them.
If you find you want to try other pads for better comfort without ruining the sound, try the ZNF Ori lambskin suede hybrids first. They may be a bit pricey but they are gloriously comfortable and sound great with the attenuation rings, especially if you make your own out of ovaltine tin lids.
When you need someone for write him in German,i live in Germany.
When he give you for 450ā¬ with shipping cost is it okay.The Zmf are expensiv too i find.grrrrr 
I have try this on the Tr x 00 and was horrible,wasted Money.

Mmmhhh I bought my TH-X00 Ebony a few months ago locally in Spain for 320 euros. If youāre not in a hurry keep checking in Headfi sales, sooner or later a cheaper pair will show IMO.
Thatās quite a difference in priceā¦I think about it.
The thread search here needs work 
Sorry if this is covered somewhere.
What are good, comfy, and tone neutral-ish pads to put on these that fit with little effort? The stock pads arenāt great. Iād prefer a memory foam, but donāt require it. I prefer real leathers, but proteins would be ok if they are on the cheaper (<$30) end. Anything more then that Iād want a more durable material.
Also does it lack clamp or it is my head is small? Also, will thicker pads help the clamp. I imagine it would.
These are basically just stock pads but made with leather and memory foam so they are more comfortable.

These are like cheap ZMF Ori pads. They sound good on there own but need attenuation rings to sound like stock.

The blue ones (0.4mm thick) should be enough.
Or you can get dekoni attenuation rings.

Personally I use genuin ZMF Ori hybrid pads (lambskin with suede face) and the brown (0.8mm thick) ovaltine attenuation rings. These sound the same as a full lambskin pad since the inner wall is lambskin but the suede face is super comfortable.

Everything you ever wanted to know about modding the TR-X00ā¦
If you want to ask me anything personally since I have a lot of experience modding the TR-X00, Iād be happy to help.
As for pads, youāll find a LOT of info in that thread and a lot of opinions. Iāll give you this rule. Donāt even think about anything perforated or anything that ābreathesā. Pads arenāt all about comfort on the TR-X00. The stock pads are designed very specifically for a tuning reason. If you go with anything that is going to clear the path from the driver to your ear, get ready for a treble blast. You have to do a lot of work to the headphone to get pads actually (over ear) and not destroying the tonality. It is possible, and you might even end up with something better than stock.
Congrats! Somebody figured it out!
I think Iāll do the Ori pad+ring mod in all lambskin, not hybrid. I donāt mind the leather and my man cave never gets hot soā¦
Love the user name btw. Iām not huge on Ghost, but I do love a few of their songs. I like the aesthetic more.
Will the pads help the low clamp, or can I do something else to help it? I want to do the mods as cleanly as possible.
Iām not looking to improve the sound much, just keep it close. From my few hours of listening, they are currently close to perfect for what I was hoping for. My only issue is with those stock pads and comfort. I donāt think Iāll mind the stock pads if I could get a little more clamp. Right now they donāt feel very secure on my head. Which may be due to whatever the previous person did. Although they look close to mint, and the mods are very well done. So I would guess itās probably not.
Thanks though. Iāll have to read through this and the other thread.
Thicker will help a bit with the clamp. You can also be brave and do the loop-d-loop thing with the headband to add some clamp. If you do bend the headband, make sure to extend it all the way so you avoid the metal extention rods getting in the way.
These are my ZMF universe hybrid pads I use on my Aeolusā¦
These DESTROY the sound of the TR-X00. Suede is beautiful and extremely comfortable but not suitable on a serious closed back headphone.
Yea, thanks for that heads up. Iām not a fan of perf and cloth earpads anyway. They are fine, but leather is generally better for me. Also, opening the loop of seal on a (semi?) closed back seems like a bad idea. Even if itās just what the perforations let in.
I also donāt mind if the treble came forward a bit, but not lasers. These are just on the cusp of sibilant for me in the mid highs, but I generally have a problem with 8k Hz. I EQ it down a few db on almost all my drivers (except my LSR305s, they are perfect speakers sent by the angels at JBL). So if the mids came up, just like 2 or 3 db, especially the middle mids, they would be better.
Note: I donāt really need that though. Just a cake + icing thing.
I think I might have a poke at the lamb Oriās with a disk though. Itās not a ton, and has the recc from a few here for same sound.
Quick question, I donāt love, but I donāt hate the headband. Iād rather have a foam puck style for the headband, but donāt like the idea of adding glue/adhesive to anything. So a screw in strap might be better. Do you have any experience doing that?
The Ori hybrids are not perforated at all and the suede face does not effect the sound. Its pretty much just a comfort upgrade over full lambskin.
Full lambskin Ori or even protein leather Ori pads are a great option with attenuation rings. As for the headband, a strap would be possible but you would have to find longer screws to both hold the headband on and the adjustment mechanisms together. Also you would have to find someone to make a strap or make one yourself.
Iām gonna have to check these Ori pads out soon. Iām fielding lots of recs for them. My bank account needs to do some serious recovering first, though 
So I have had the X00 for about a year and I really enjoyed them a bit, I bought the Ori pads for them. So for the last couple of months I havenāt been using them, I been using my TYGR and DT 900 for gaming. I just recently went back to the X00 and notice that they sound kind of hollow and real spacious. When talking to a a NPC in a game it sounds far. I switched to the original pads and it made it sound brought in a bit.
I was thinking of trying the TH 900 mk 2 pads but there $100. I was curious if anyone has any suggestions of some pads that are not as wide as the Ori pads that might not make them as hollow sounding.
