I have stowed them away, don't wear them anymore and gotten different headphones now.

But when I did, I Loved them. Bought mine for $69.99 back in 2016. Absolutely comfortable. I could sleep with them on and not feel uneasy. They're not too tight and will fall off you tilt your head too far. Also, wombo-combo them with a v moda boom mic and you got your self a solid headset comms setup.

Earlier this year I bought a pair of Brainwavz Sheepskin Ear Pads as a replacement.

Review For SHP9500

SHP9500 Ear Pads Replacement guide

u/LuisIsNotHere · 5 pointsr/headphones

Here I have my current setup. The headphones are my Beyerdynamic Custom Studios, the DAC is an Audioengine D3, and the AMP is a Fiio A3 Portable Amp. The entire setup cost me $268, but as of now I believe the Custom Studios are discontinued, so you could replace the headphones with some alternatives in that price range (Audio Technica M40x/M50x or Philips SHP9500.) Anyways, here’s a review for everything.

Beyerdynamic Custom Studio (80 ohm)


Used to be $163, now they are [$250] (https://www.guitarcenter.com/Beyerdynamic/Custom-STUDIO-Headphones-1392652270585.gc)
I bought these headphones around July of 2017 as my first pair of “real” headphones. Initially, I was disappointed, but this was only because I was not used to the sound of these headphones at the time. After about a month of listening to them, I went back to compare them to some old Apple Earbuds and at first, I couldn’t believe the difference. Everything about these headphones was amazing. There’s a great amount of detail in them, the imaging is absolutely amazing, but soundstage is very narrow due to them being closed back headphones. As closed back headphones, they do a fantastic job of not allowing sound to leak about and making sure outside noise stays outside as long as the volume is higher. I use these at the library in my school when I write papers and never get complaints. I’ve tested them before by placing them on my friends’ heads and playing music at a loud volume, but nothing leaks out.


I found the comfort to be alright, but the fault was due to the velour. I really do not like velour as I find it to be very itchy, however, many other people praise the earpads, so it just comes down to preference. I instead replaced the pads with some [Brainwavs HM5 Sheepskin earpads] ( https://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Sheepskin-Leather-Memory-Earpad/dp/B01J53KM32) and fell in love with the comfort. The pads increased bass a little and made them incredibly comfortable. I use a [V-Moda Boom Pro] ( https://www.amazon.com/V-MODA-BoomPro-Microphone-Gaming-Communication/dp/B00BJ17WKK/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1524357476&sr=8-1&keywords=vmoda+boompro&dpID=41WfbQw%252Bp8L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) with it when I game and these never become uncomfortable, even after playing for hours on end. The clamp on these is very strong, but I like it that way as it prevents them from falling off my head.


The unique thing about these headphones is that it has bass sliders on each cup, which allows you to adjust the bass from (Low bass, neutral, vibrant bass, and max bass.) I tend to keep it on neutral and the bass there is more than enough for me (and I love bass.) I use these for just about everything, including gaming and I never have any issues. I wear glasses and these are fine for anyone who may wear glasses.


After trying out different headphones at CanJam this year, I now know where these headphones can improve, but these still manage to keep up with everything else above its price range. You can run these off a phone and get some good volume, but I like music loud, so I use them with an amp at all times. Overall, I’m glad these are my first pair and I plan on keeping them as my closed back pair of headphones after I move on to more expensive headphones.


Audioengine D3 DAC+AMP


[$45 Refurbrished] (https://audioengineusa.com/shop/factory-refurbished/d3-24-bit-dacheadphone-amp-2/)
I bought the Audioengine D3 as the last piece of the puzzle in terms of headphones, amps, and dacs. It is a USB DAC that comes with a ¼ inch adapter and a sleeve to carry it. This is actually what motivated me to listen to music on my laptop as I used to listen to music on my phone. I really have no complaints about it. When it released, it was priced at $200 and was one of the few USB DACs that could compete with the Dragonfly DACs, and from what I’ve read online, a lot of reviewers actually prefer the D3. I saw it on Massdrop a month back for $70ish and wanted it, but I wanted to read reviews about it first. That’s where I found that you can get it for $45 straight out of their website with free shipping included. There really is no reason to look for another DAC when this one is available for such a steal. There is no kind of sound when music is not playing and it is driverless, meaning you can just plug it in to your computer and it’s ready to go. One thing to note is that it gets really hot, but it isn’t a problem, so long as you keep your fingers off of it. I felt like I noticed an improvement in songs, but it could just be a placebo (A B test your gear and see if you can notice a difference.) However, I really like having it around and I don’t listen to anything on my laptop without it.


Fiio A3 AMP


[$59.99] (https://www.amazon.com/A3-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00Z9BIODA)
I bought the Fiio A3 when I bought my headphones because I read that an amp was almost required for anything at 80 ohms and higher. Since then, I’ve loved this little beast of an amp. It has a low and high gain switch to control volume (I keep it on high gain when connected to my phone and low gain when connected to the D3.) It also has a bass boost switch which I really like when I feel like being basshead (The bass boost here + max bass setting on the Custom Studios = Madness.) It has a life of about 16 hours before needing to recharge and it has a blue led that blinks when it needs to charge. It makes headphones very loud very fast. It is also built like a tank. I tried carrying it around in my pocket when I walked on campus and it slipped out. It only took a cosmetic hit, but in terms of functionality, it is untouched.


The only reason I still use it is because I like being able to control audio through a knob as opposed to a digital slider. The only annoying thing about it is that it has a hissing noise when the knob is turned up without any music playing, but when music starts to play, the hiss disappears. Overall, I absolutely recommend this amp if you want something to start with as it will do nothing but impress you every time.


This is my setup and being a broke college kid, I could not be happier. In terms of the things that this sub shows off, I find this to be a very budget friendly setup. Even when I upgrade everything, I still plan on keeping it as I do not want to forget where I started in terms of this hobby. For anyone that may be wanting to jump into the world of audio, I absolutely recommend these products as places to start. I’ve provided straight links for anyone that may want to check out the products.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J53KM32/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 got a pair of these in today and they work great. Nothings touching my ear anymore and I think they sound better now.

u/MegaDerpbro · 2 pointsr/headphones

I'm not sure about getting them shipped to Lithuania, but given its Europe, there's probably a good chance Amazon.de or Amazon.co.uk can ship you some Brainwavz HM5 sheepskin pads https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01J53KM32/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483144210&sr=8-1-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=brainwavz+hm5+sheepskin

u/rmw156 · 2 pointsr/headphones

Yes I would. You could also go with the real leather or angled real leather pads. They both feel very premium. I personally prefer the angled pads, but they look a little silly.

u/2800fps · 2 pointsr/EarSpeakers

I think the main difference between the L300 and the 500/700 are the pads. Others have said that the drivers are identical although the 500/700 have slightly better build quality (metal in the headband adjusting mechanism). The stock L300 pads are TERRIBLE. I can't wear them, my head hurts after 5 minutes. Keep in mind pads can make or break a pair of headphones in term of sound quality, it makes all the difference. If I were you I'd go with the SRS-3100 setup and get the Brainwavz sheepskin non angled pads and call it good (https://www.amazon.ca/Brainwavz-Sheepskin-Memory-Foam-Earpad/dp/B01J53KM32/ref=pd_sbs_504_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=V0YVGPVQ0ZCB7TPE5REG). Attach the pads directly to the headphones with double sided tape, low on the square frame so it doesn't form a seal (you get diaphragm crinkle noises and it kills the bass if it's sealed). I am running that setup and it's amazing. I have modded HE500's (audeze leather pads, etc) and other than soundstage the L300s beat it in all categories. The clarity is what I think the Stax excel at, the HE500's sound slightly veiled if you listen to them right after. That being said my HE500's are still amazing so I kept them.



Anyway, hope this helps.

Edit: I was wrong, different drivers between the Stax.

u/kubbiember · 2 pointsr/headphones

The Sheepskins are rediculously comfortable! They only come in black... panda colorway is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

u/getprank3d · 2 pointsr/HyperX

A (sort of) comprehensive guide on the most popular hyper x headsets

ALPHA
I have alpha and it is good but I had to buy brainwavz hm5 pleather pads because my ears touched the drivers. This is relatively expensive (22.5 us). I also wanted surround, so I got the dongle for the revolver s but it was very staticky so I returned it. Other than that, now the stereo is good, with good clarity because of the dual chamber driver, although you might hear static unless you put it to studio quality in Windows.
They also only come in black and red, and the cable twists up a lot, so I twist tied down the part of it I don't use.

REVOLVER (S)
From what I heard, there is more bass on the revolver and revolver s but the headband causes ambient sound absorbtion issues, and the s has surround but again, for me the dongle didn't work, so I'm not sure for you.

(2)
My friend has the cloud 2 and he said he gets static with the dongle too, but aside from that, they are basically the alpha but more comfortable without replacement pads, surround sound, extra velour pads in the box, a carrying case and worse sound quality and mic quality then the alpha. These come in black and red, and gunmetal.

(ORIGINAL)
The original clouds I don't know much about, but I'm pretty sure they are the same as the cloud 2 without the replacement pads and worse mic and sound quality. Black and red and black and white colors as well

(FLIGHTS)
The flights from what I've heard are similar to the alpha, with the same comfort issue (still compatible with brainwavz hm5 pads), wireless, but with some permanent static, because they are wireless a mute on the side of the headphones and good battery life.

(STINGERS)
The stingers are the best headset for a budget and are basically cloud 1s but with worse everything (build quality, sound and mic) and cost 50 usd.

(OTHER MODELS)
Other than that, I don't know anything about the cloud core or the cloud x (specifically for Xbox).

(MY RECOMMENDATION)
If you have the money to spend, (122.5 usd plus tax) I recommend the cloud alpha, the brainwavz hm5 pleather/memory foam pads, and in windows, changing the advanced audio settings to 48 khz studio mode, but take this with a grain of salt.

(REPLACEMENT BRAINWAVZ HM5 PADS)
For reference, the replacement pads all take a few minutes to stretch on to the alphas and flights

PLEATHER
Brainwavz hm5 pleather/memory foam link (more comfortable, smaller soundstage then velour, same sound quality as vanilla pads)

https://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Memory-Replacements-Earpads-Headphones/dp/B00MFDT894?th=1

VELOUR
Brainwavz hm5 velour pads (better soundstage, less comfortable then pleather/memory foam pads), also a dust magnet

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MFDX4YO/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?psc=1

HYBRID
Brainwavz hm5 hybrid pads (not recommended, but in between velour and pleather. It is better to stick with one or the other, this one isn't very good

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J53KM32/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?psc=1

OTHER
there is also a sheepskin model, but I don't know if it will stretch well to fit or have sound differences.
Also the angled and circular hm5 pads will not fit, so don't get those.

Good luck with the purchase.
Sorry my formatting sucks I'm on mobile.

EDIT: While I was typing this, the other guy described the sound of the alphas, 1s and 2s good, so read that post as well.

u/JanTrooper2 · 1 pointr/HeadphoneAdvice

Thanks for your recommendation, just a few questions: I've read that the earpads are not that great and you should buy these instead, would you recommend that? Are the headphones stereo or surround? How well does the internal microphone work?

Besides this they really sound great and maybe I can catch a good deal tomorrow at Cyber Monday!

Edit: And how good is the Boom pro, and is it annoying or a great addition?

u/RaDus1 · 1 pointr/ZReviews

I didn't even know there were variants.
These were the ones I bought.

u/abgersaurus · 1 pointr/steelseries

Yes I have, I bought some from amazon made by Brainwavz (sheepskin - leather & memory foam) they are very comfortable, although they are not the exact same shape of the original earpads.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01J53KM32/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

that being said there is the issue of the clamping force on the headset itself, you need to bend the actual headband which will help alot more than the earpads if done correctly.

bending only works on the 7, pro and pro wireless (steel headband)

my Pro wireless gave me a headache before (too much clamping) and my right ear started to hurt after only 30mins of wearing!

​

so I decided to look up some other threads on reddit and found these two tutorials, and then tried to bend my headband by myself while being very careful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIz5CLaT8zo

https://youtu.be/JJauI2m_XnE?t=458

Note: it takes alot of force to actually bend them slightly, it might not look like they are bend (which is good) but it makes a world of difference!

​

here are some pictures of my headsphones post bend and with the earpads

I got the Brainwavez Sheepskin pads https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J53KM32/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

I use them with my TR-X00 Purplehearts. Much more comfortable, and cut back on the sibilance I was hearing with the stock pads. The bass still sounds good to me, but I do have the purplehearts, so the sound signature isn't the same as the mahogany.

u/Zombekas · 1 pointr/headphones

Just get some decent earpads, like these Brainwavz sheepskin ones: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brainwavz-Sheepskin-Memory-Foam-Earpad/dp/B01J53KM32 , or some other similar ones, then pop these suckers on your M40x! Not only will it be much more comfortable, they mess with the accoustics somehow and results in an overall bass boost, as well as a slight increase in soundstage.

Keep in mind they are bigger, and will make your headphones look different: https://i.imgur.com/a6exBcB.jpg That's an M50x by the way, with M40x the difference is even bigger.

u/QuipA · 1 pointr/headphones

sheepskin

I'd go with the regular pleather or hybrid pads.

u/LulzBaby · 1 pointr/headphones

Hey all,

I stumbled upon these while looking around for a new headset. Honestly, I'm a big noob when it comes to headphones and audio quality. Can anyone take a look at these? I'm not looking for super top-of-the-line, just something affordable and average/above average quality.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Someone replied then deleted...? But they recommended these MEE audio Matrix 2 instead, and upgrade with these earpads. Puts the total just above $100 and that was my limited. Can someone confirm this is a good setup? I'm a bit cautious since they deleted their reply...

u/sapphiretech368 · 1 pointr/headphones

M40X and these would be super comfortable and maintain good isolation.

u/officer21 · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

Got these new for $85 a couple of weeks ago, added some new earpads. They are great now. Love the removable mic, comfort, weight, low input lag, mic mute button, volume wheel, battery life. Dislike having to hit the power button twice after each power on to disable the leds (battery life is 13 hours with them on, 30 with them off), and lack of any software control (equalizer, make leds off by default, etc.).

u/nukasu · 1 pointr/pcgaming

Brainwavs has a nice set of sheepskin leather earpads with memory foam that fit 7506/v6s if you want to go crazy when the time comes, they're like 40 bucks on amazon. i switched over to the velour pads that everyone else uses personally but have been kind of thinking about those fancy-pants ones..

u/oppressivekitten · 1 pointr/headphones

Purchased the Sony WH-1000XM2 and now I'm looking for some bigger replacement earpads for using at home (the stock ones are basically semi-on-ear).
Does someone have experience with the Brainwavz sheepskin or other earpads in combination with Sony / other ANC headphones?
I am concerned about losses in sound quality / noise cancelling and that they won't fit in the case anymore.

Also, would you recommend the angled or even version? The angled ones seem to be geared towards sending the sound "directly" into the ears which sounds nice for music but questionable for everything else. The Sony stock earpads are pretty much even.
