Reply to comment by KookDesigns in New Brainwavz on my HE4XX feel so much better than stock, and sound a bit better to my ears. by KookDesigns

So you’d recommend these pads? Did you get them direct from Brainwavs, or did you order through a distributor like Audio46 or Headphonescom, and how long did it take to ship?

Not OP but I use them on my Sundaras/HD560s, and bought them from Amazon. Can't speak to how they affect the sound really, but they're a lot more comfortable to me. Definitely recommend.

I got them through Amazon, shipped to the Midwest in under a week, and I would absolutely recommend them.

At the very least, they have not changed the 4xx's sound signature enough to really notice, and at best, it has widened the soundstage and the extra airspace around the driver might have helped the low end establish a bit more body.

Basically, they keep all the good parts of the 4xx sound, and feel far more comfortable to my ears than the stock pads.

I did give the headband a firm bend in the opposite direction for 30 seconds to loosen the clamping pressure a bit, since the Brainwavz take up more space.
