The itch part will start to subdue as the pads wear in

niceeeee, thnx. besides that i have no problems then
Iām just thinking Iād like something that breathās betterā¦
Hmm, do you have the focuspad a or the regular focuspad on your pair? (because they switched pads halfway through)
I donāt knowā¦I just remember the issue from the first one I got. havenāt listened to the new one as much as I thought I would since I got the HD599se.
Dekoni does nicer quality hybrids which should keep the sound signature intact but be more comfortable.

Is there a pad that could boost the midbass a bit?
I wish I could get those pads out of the EU. those oneās that are popular for Koss 95/x.
whats the downside of mono cables?
Iām guessing the headphones wonāt be stereo?
Can confirm, used to get so itchy and kept adjusting them. After a week theyāre not itchy no more. Was planning on buying some Dekoniās but now Iāll just use the stock pads.

Theyāre mono to each earcup, so each wire carries the channel for that ear. A headphone that only has the plug on one earcup just has a wire going round the headband to the other earcup.
I ordered a pair of ZMF Ori perferated lambskin pads. Sadly, they wonāt be here till the day I fly back to school, so Iām having my folks forward them over to me.
Bought a new cable 3m long cable that I braided and a head band thingy to make it more comfortable which honestly looks like a bandage lol.

lol is that a newfantasia cable?
Ohh okay, but why do other cables need to be non-mono if theyāre 1 wire only carries 1 channel?
Itās Neomusica from amazon. Pretty decent Iād say for the price.
