Glad it was useful ;)

Same here,just DT770 pads on DT990...completely different sound

Thanks

No probs. Glad it was helpful

If I do another one with open backs, I will do that

They are pretty great

Yeahp thats really true and it works.

That is a top tip. I will mention that if I do another ones

​@Custom Cans Thanks for suggesting I try angled pads in the comments under your 'beyerdynamic open back showdown video". Pads for fostex TH900 or similar will fit. I have some cheap leather pads on order and 'Earpadz by Dekoni Elite Velour' arrived yesterday. I'm not sure about the stereo image with Dekoni beyerdynamic Elite Velour, it's wider than beyerdynamic pads but kind of disjointed, the Dekoni Fostex pads fix that but it's too early for me to say how much I like them.

AH... Damn, I should have done that.. If I re-do it with the 990s I will try and get a sample from each

@@CustomCans I'm sure you could create a new vid with 8-10 seconds of just the sample audio between each set, and then link to it. Hahaha, and editing videos is such a ripe atmosphere to get side-tracked. No worries!

I think the black pads are the same but did not test it. The other thing to bare in mind is that they do several different impedances of each which all sound different . That said... the DT990 is a much brighter headphone then the 770 or 900

Same here. I've never liked Dekoni pads.

Lol. I did not want to do another one but it is starting to look like I will have to ;)

@@CustomCans Sounds good. I had a look online for those 712 pads as I don't have those. Can't seem to find them anywhere. There is absolutely no info about them at all 😢

@@CustomCans as John said, he can’t find the 712s anywhere. Neither can I. Would you be able to get hold of some for us?

@@theroddy I think we have some in the stock room. I will get Sylvia to list them on the website and I will also add the part number to the description. They may be easier to find by part number

@@CustomCans Sweet! Im checking on your website now. If you could put 2 pairs aside for me I would be forever grateful 👍

No Problemo ;)

I may have to order some in

That is a good idea - I have not tried it on these but have messed around with that kind of thing on other headphones

I can't guarantee it as they are a bit on the pricey side but maybe

@@CustomCans Are you testing the 80Ohm vesion ?

@@MrJabinho I can't 100% remember but I think so

@@CustomCans 80ohm version has the best freq response.

Glad it was helpful ;)

OK.. Maybe next month ;)

​@Custom Cans dt880 edition also......I'll give you a like if you do 😂

The dekoni pads are quite expensive so I will have to find a way to get the business to pay for them, But... I will ask the team what they think

@@CustomCans yeah just a suggestion. You can tell me I’m wrong 😂

The 250 do have a a bit more treble but if you take off one of the pads and check the colour of the foam you should be able to tell if they are 990 pads

If u open the headphone put sorberthone foam behind the driver u get 4-6 db lower highs...

They might be a bit out of my price range but if we do another Dekoni order, I will see if we can add some on

@@CustomCans don't sweat it, I've seen people online liking the Choice over the Elite regardless of price, you're probably not missing much to be honest :)

No Not yet but we will do one over the next couple of weeks hopefully

@@CustomCans Ahh cool! I saw someone on a forum say the Pali pads measured the same as the stock pads and that there was no difference in sounds, so I've gone and ordered them and they are on my cans right now, I can't tell a difference in sounds but the comfort is great! Expensive pads though. I think the mods I've put on the HE400SE cost nearly the same as the cans themselves now haha, but totally worth it!

Lol - was the fact the headphones were not level on the stand upsetting you as well? ;)

@@CustomCans i was actually just noticing it when you leveled them haha

Yes - I may have to see if I can get my hands on some at some point

No problem 👍

No, they have probably molded to your head and rotating them might feel uncomfortable ... But... they are easy enough to twist round so you could give it a go and then twist them back if it is wrong

I may have to order in some of the other dekoni pads to see if they have some that are not so bass heavy as they are super comfy

I have tried all the pads from dekoni on my HD6 line . All of them change the sound A LOT. And thats logical because none of them are like the original pads , original pads are hybrids plether inside and velour outside without any front stitches.

I think the black and the grey pads are the same but I did not test them. if I do a 990 test I will stick those in the mix

👍

@@CustomCans Cheer Jason! After listening I will be ordering V3 Mode kit as it sounds great to me. I only hope Polish customs won't double the cost of modding my DT700 🫢

I had the DT 770 80ohm regular silver pads, 2 years ago. Sold them last year. Then purchased them again 6 months ago, same model but LE with black pads. I noticed a bit difference. Finally just bought the new Dt77p pro x, and besides the ohm, they sound different and similar. First of all, they're supposed to have the more advanced Stellar driver from the dt700 pro X, but with the Dt770 tuning. Not only easier to drive at 48ohm, but also much more defined and forward. The bass is more precise and strong, and it's all V shaped so the treble is clear and louder. Although the sound much better, especially the mids which were recessed in the 80ohm, the pro x have solved this and speech it's more intimate. This might reduce the tuning soundstage a tad, so I wanted the wider, deeper stage of the old one with the clarity of the new set. I just swapped the pads and I believe I read somewhere the pro x uses the thicker and denser pads from the 700, giving more seal and forward sound. Using the black pads, the velour is less dense, they're also slightly shallower, and now they match perfectly. That combination made them perfect for me, retaining the new driver capabilities but with the black pads it opens them up on the soundstage and mellows their sharp edge a bit, so they're more satisfying. This might be all placebo, psychological.

@@residentzero Thanks for detailed story. very useful. I didn't know that the new 48 Ohm DT770 had different velour pads than original DT770. And also you said you spotted some difference between black and grey velour?

It has been around a year since I tried both but hopefully someone else chimes in

The Balance pads (the pair with more holes) have more bass

@@Grrrr3FKAGrrrrGrrrrGrrrr Thanks!

I will have to do a 32 vs 80 vs 250 ohm review as they all sound quite different

Thanks ;)

Looks like I am going to have to ;)

Sorry, I have never had a listen to them but I have some custom one pro which have the same 16 ohm drive and they are pretty good

Yes, I may do in the future

all praise the mighty algorithm
