Damn right

Thanks for checking out the content. I'll try; 1. Fit is the main issue. Try to google the pairing you are after and see if anyone else has attempted your target match - you may be the first. A larger ear opening typically makes the heads tage/soundstage larger but also may introduce slightly more peaky treble due to reflections. Chances are you will be introducing more air volume to push as well, so you may need to turn them up to get the same bass impact. Lastly, if the ear pads are thicker, you will need to up the volume knob to get the same sound level, as the driver will be further from your ear. 2. Velour does allow sound to escape more than a solid surface. Typically a closed headphone with velour won't really leak much more than it did before, it will just loose a little bass impact due to no longer having a tight seal.

@@gamingaudioguide9292 Thanks for the prompt and detailed explanation. I've been scouring google for days now since the purchase and have found little help because their solutions are for specific brands and apparently other people who bought the same thing don't use headphones for several hours XD. Going with what you said, I'll just buy the replacement velour ear pads with a snug but more comfortable fit, think the soon to be new ones will have an average thickness of 2-4cm. Your single reply has been more informative and concise than most of the forums and reddit, thanks for the help!

@@captainboredompants9172 Glad I could help! Thanks for the support!

Glad it was helpful!

PU with super-plyable memory foam

Pads with bigger ear hole opening, chamfered pads (very few in the market), pads that create a bigger box around the ears.

Thin for comort.

usually if you are close you are okay. which headphones do yo have and which are you looking at?

@@gamingaudioguide9292 Im using this tecware Q2 (a local brand) and Im planning to change the earpads with misodiko Replacement Headphones Ear Pads Cushions

@@salazarkevinjan2419 it looks like they should be okay but I honestly have no idea. I hadn't heard of either prior to this. :) you are rolling the dice. are the current ones just worn out?

@@gamingaudioguide9292 yeah, kinda shot in the dark. The current earpads are so irritating to my skin, theyre not comfortable. Btw, both earpads are wrap around design, I guess that should do it hahaha cross fingers

@@salazarkevinjan2419 How did it go btw? I'm going to order some misodiko as well hahah.

Generally only if the headphones come with them. There is not much bass left on closed back headphones, unless they come with 'em.

Velour pad will be good

I'll say velour or microsuede. I got the gel pads they're great

@@krishnanh7912 do you prefer velour or gel pads? :)

@@geegee9765 So it involves some factors. Gel pads are very tedious to clean and they do get warm after sometime. And regarding soundstage gel will be good for everyday headphones like Sennheiser hd450 or something, but for studio headphones velour is a better option. I also think gel is a little more durable but the gel one's cost double the amount of velour too. So according to these factors you can decide

typically a PU leather is better but micro suede can be very good in regards to seal.

@@gamingaudioguide9292 considering the price, should I get brainwavz pu leather, microsuede, or gel microsuede? (It's for a Sennheiser hd 450bt)

@@krishnanh7912 pretty subjective and the brainwavz pads have some reputation; sheepskin - high quality, great seal - I take it you don't want these for one reason or another PU leather - lots of reviews with these flaking over time. they look comfortable and will have a good seal but I am not sure they will hold up micro suede with gel - I like these. good seal and comfortable. I would take these over PU but that is me. I have not tried their plain micro suede. It seems like it should be fine and have good seal but I have not tried them. Least amount of seal compared to others but still better than velour. let me know what you go with and how well it works.

@@gamingaudioguide9292 as a techhead I just wrapped some microfiber (specs cleaning cloth) around my ear and played some music. Even though it's not the most accurate representation, I like the way it sounds. If the memory foam is the same,the noise isolation should be same. and if the gel pad won't have any decrease in noise cancelling, I'll buy that. I'm confused 😅😅

@@gamingaudioguide9292 I got the gel pads, they're great. I think I've got a defective piece though. It's around 20 mm rather than 30mm claimed in thickness. The anc is as good. The stitching is also a bit uneven and it's heating my ears for some reason
