£300 headphone budget

[Covenant]

Yes Rob, pre-ordered them so got a few bob off the list price. I have a really nice headphone amplifier now so need them to see what its capable of.

I would just like to give a thumbs up for the AKG velour pads on the 668B's. Fitted these and removed the foam guard and I haven't picked up the 325's for a week now.

I have velour pads ordered from thomann....been waiting nearly a month due to problems with other elements of my order. I look forward to comparing them with the standard pleather...I found removing the foams a tad aggressive, maybe try again when the pads are installed.

I know what you mean about the aggressive thing, like a touch of grain to the sound if that's the right word for it, but the bass seemed to benefit from slightly less flabbiness without them. I didn't bother putting them back when swapping pads and haven't noticed any of the problems with them out, apart from maybe having to be careful with hair

They are much more comfy now.

I have a set of these on mine too. Highly recommended over standard ones.

Where can one obtain these AKG pads from?

Martin,
The site is called THOMANN sorry I cant provide a link as my computer skills dont stretch to it. They are about 17 euros, the delivery is about 10 so you might as well add another set of superluxes (660/440/330) just to get some value out the postage charge!!!!!!
Tony.

Thanks, Tony. Are they the ones for AKG K-240/270/271 or K-141?

Martin, I believe they are the 240 variety from memory, probably mentioned further back in the thread....
I had already marked the site for my daughter...for the same reason
