I just got a set of TTVJ deluxe pads today and they are thankfully identical to the stock pads of the Hemps. While I doubt I’ll need to replace them any time soon, its nice to know that these are the same pads and have a set.
The TTVJ pads do fit the SR80e, unlike the Hemps pads, so it seems that the Hemps larger cups did indeed strech the pads out. Since they do fit the SR80e I tried them out, and they are very good. The comfort is the same as the Hemps when new (my Hemp pads definitely broke in and softened up) and the sound is a perfect middle ground between the geekria pads and the earzonk L crush pads. The bass is less than the geekria but more than the earzonk. The highs are clearer or more present than the geekria but less so than the earzonk. A perfect middle ground. Even the comfort, less worth that the geekria but more comfortable than the earzonk. If only they didn’t cost so damn much. They are probably the “best” sound overall, being balanced and clear with good comfort, but they cost too much to recommend for the SR80e when the other two options are less than half the cost combined.
Overall I like them on the SR80e but I’m not going to use them. I’m just going to keep them as replacements for my Hemps and stick with the geekria and earzonk pads for my SR80e. I do have some misodiko pads showing up tomorrow so I’ll report on those for both my Hemps and SR80e.
