So half a year back I bought the dt 1990 pro and I am here to compare the dekoni pads of what I have purchased. Zeos review was pretty accurate but I want to give a non audiophile or experienced opinion on the pads I have. I am running it off the asged 3 from Schiit by the way switching between low and high gain. To my ears the low gain is flat with some bassy yet the high gain brings out the opposite mids and definitely highs adding a little excitement. All are comfortable in my opinion although the sheepskin can get a little hot in Florida. Welcome to the most unprofessional review of headphone pads. You are welcome Dekoni.

Choice suede - the soundstage didn’t change to my ears except for these pads. These are wide! The bass hits! It has the bass of the sheepskin without the shouty and stuffy sound. The treble energy shows me why people hate these cans (they weren’t too much but I can definitely see why) the mids are good as good. These are intense! Good or bad? Depends! I like it but I have to go back to velour because it’s rather exhausting listening to them.

Elite velour - to my ears these are the flattest headphones I cannot hear anything bad about the bass like people say. The highs didn’t bother me stock but these are pleasing to my ears. These are almost boring coming from choice suede. Btw these are the most airy sound of all. They sound like the most open instead of semi open which all the rest sound semi open.

Elite hybrid - these were interesting because zeos said it brang out vocals I would say more brings them forward. If that means the same I’m not sure it just sets everything else little behind the vocals. Just like the sheepskin little stuffy sometimes. Energy and everything just becomes trapped inside.

Elite sheepskin - no. Don’t buy these. The whole sound is trapped inside just a mess of sound lol there’s bass buuutt makes them sound like crappy bass head cans.

I recommend just buying the velour cheapest and best! I’d love to hear people’s comments to what they hear. I also have amirons but nothing but velour goes on them lol. Any other pad destroys the sound.
