New 350$ Planars -Thieaudio Phantom

I’ve got a pair of Brainwavz XL perforated memory foam pads knocking about, wonder if they’ll fit?

With that size driver they will for sure, keep us posted with your results :smiley:

Folks, can I ask whoever got the Phantoms to measure the pads please? I’m getting my order on Aliextress sorted and options I have are: 105mm, 110mm and 120mm.
Thanks

Will do buddy… :+1:

Thanks. I found very nice and cheap pleather pads on Aliexpress. Got some smaller sized for my portables and bigger for the T50RPs. They sizes from 70mm to 120mm. If anyone is interested I can post the link

Well I finally got them :champagne::tada: but we have a heatwave over here in the UK…37 (edited now 39.3 outside) degrees Celsius :hot_face: so not great headphone weather lol but i’ll try and have a listen over the next few days and see what I think.
On a plus side I’m pretty sure the Brainwavz xl pads should fit ok see below.
This’s what came in the delivery…

So first upgrade…way more comfort and better sub bass/bass without sacrificing anything else audio wise?..Prodigy’s Poison now punches it’s weight…a few days work still to come lol but the Brainwavz’s makes them look a tad more classy?

@Ohmboy already pulling out the measuring tape

@Lothar_Wolf It took 14 days for me, order to doorstep. http://track.4px.com will have the tracking info instantly, at least it did for me, and appeared on DHL site once it was stateside.

Ordered mine on the 7th and got them today 25th in the UK so be patient they’re worth it :+1:

:joy::rofl::joy:…20 characters don’t you know :nerd_face:

Mine are coming today and the wait is killing me.
I hope I’m still alive by the time they arrive. :slight_smile:

If not I’ll get the 110mm version. These are super comfy and cheap as chips


I’m enjoying these a whole lot, am quite happy with them and have no regrets :smiley: . I’m going to look into the brainwavz xl that @Ohmboy recommended.

I just ordered the BW XL hybrid’s - only $20 on Amazon w/ Prime. Need to get somebody with a collection to see which is best…

The shaggy pads are comfy but leak a bit too much bass. A +2dB shelf @160 fills it nicely and adds a little more warmth, and a PEQ -1.5dB @5.7k Q1.2 tapers the upper-mids and tames the slight sibilance.
