So what do you think right off the bat?
It might partly just be the aesthetics throwing me off (They are Soooo~ pretty), but first impressions are very positive. They sound much more open than I expected as well.

Both of the connectors on my headphone cable say āLā for leftā¦ what? At least they are properly color codedā¦ lol
Wait really lol? Mine donāt say that, they have both left and right for me without color coding
Iāll just pretend it stands for ālimitlessā or something.
āLimited Editionāā¦ there we go

I suspect this is due to the newer generation Sendys coming with perforated pads? Most of the existing reviews & impressions Iāve encountered are based off the original pads. Iām curious to hear the opinion of someone who has the original and newer version pads though.
I had the original pads and bought the perforated pads. The perf pads sound a bit more open but donāt really change the sound too much, but might reduce the bass impact a bit. Also the foam is stiffer and more memory foam like. The driver crinkle also reduces

So which pads did you end up leaving on your Sendys?
I ended up leaving on the perf pads because there really isnāt a downside to them. The bass change is very minute thb
Thatās frickinā brilliant.
So hereās my impressions of the Sendy Aiva.
I think these are VERY EASY to recommend.
Physically they are beautiful and attractive without feeling fragile and āpreciousā. Emphasis on beautifulā¦
Sound-wise, I would charactize them both forward and laid-back. They have sounded great with everything Iāve listened to so far. VERY satisfying both in vocals and low-end impact, and detail. Open and wide.
If ever there was an argument against being a āgraph whoreāā¦ this is it. =P (itās joke 
if you love to rely on graphs, thatās okay)
The cord is beautiful. They work well portable. They come with a really nice case. Yeah, these are worth it.

Cool I see an Elex & NDH20 in the background.
How do they compare to the Elex?
Itās like having 2 children and you would feel āwrongā comparing them against each other because you really love them both. 
I think the Elex is still technically superior. But, emotionally, I am really liking the Sendy Aivas a lot. It has partly to do with the build and also very much to do with how they sound. Youāll need to give me more time to get over the āhoney-moonā period with them.

Lol. Yeah Iāve actually posed this same question very recently to Antpage
I was contemplating between the 2, but the sale on the Sendyās sort of made the decision easier, but I was just curious to hear.
If the Sendy Aiva was the ONLY thing I owned, I think I would still be extremely happy.

Hey, does anyone know where you can buy the Blon B20 pads? Iād like to try them with the Sendy Aiva. The narrow top of the Sendy Aiva creates some discomfort after longer listening sessions.

You can try the brainwavz sheepskin angle pads. I use that one with my pair, and I think it brings you more soundstage without losing clarity. Some people also suggest zmf universe pads.
