Three days left on dropā¦ 3+ purchasers needed. This is going to be close one.
Iāve just realised something as well. Theyāve included a frequency response for the buyers on the side of the cups.

Production in Progress and News on Earpads
Dear Supporters,
Thank you so much for your patience and love during the past days. We have some new exciting updates that we want to share with you!
We understand that the current COVID-19 pandemic may raise some concerns and worries about the production and shipment. However, there is nothing to worry about as we are ahead of schedule and well into the production phase for the Helios. Our team has been spending nights and days to push the progress, and we are optimistic we can get the Helios into your hands sooner than expected!
In regards to shipping, we suggest all backers to add the DHL Express shipping perk to your original purchase. While standard shipping normally takes 2 - 3 weeks to arrive, the global Covid19 situation may extend the duration. Because of our good relations and the hard work at DHL, the DHL Express shipping may ensure you get your Helios as soon as possible.

Yeah those pads arenāt looking too great and the pictures make them look alittle thin. I do wanna try this headpo with Beyer pads and see if the sound like 990s with rolled off bass though
the pads do look thin, but i guess considering stuff like the 58x pads could still sound good with thin pads. or the ksc75 pads lol next level thin
True but those are proven pads the approach here seems to be buya bunch of pads from Ali Express and sell em or add them as a bonus and trust me they can come cheap and the fact that they give you so many without batting an eye gives me little hope for quality.
gotcha, fair enough. am quite curious to see how these will check out. as long as the stock pads come made with care it could be fun buuuuuut, didn{t Z actually change the pads entirely?
yep but the difference between these pads and his personal collection are his are actually quality coming from companies like ZMF,dekoni,brainwavz ,yaxi . the problemm with these pads is the question of their quality. good pads come from china all the time but they are much pricier like the theiaudio phantom stock pads or the sendy aiva pads. . but to just give away pads like this let alone 10 of them for a sub $200 headphone really brings things to question.

Duh! 
I shouldāve realized.
It should be like nubuck.as a person who wears nubuck boots on the daily I donāt know how much I would like pads made out of that same material but could be a good middlegroubg to suede and leather.

Nubuck is kind of like a waterproof suede, isnāt it?
That would work.
Yeah I got the email even though I back out if the indiegogo a while back. I dint think the pads look like anything special. They kinda remind me of the pads that came on the hifiman 370 which wAs pretty atrocious.
I think even if I was still getting these Iād much rather buy and install a quality set of pads from someone else. I think those pads for me would all end up in the garbage since Iād doubt Iād want to put them on any of my other cans.
