Yeah, that’s what I was saying about shipping service or a friend to help you. Prices are great but you need a way to ship these things from Japan to the US since companies there don’t ship internationally.
I should have read your post more carefully!

Speak of wearing comfort, you really remind me of 1266, as a negative example :headphones::head_bandage::headphones:

'over too spicy'

I found the 1266 TC to be very comfortable. The pads do not touch your ears if you’re wearing it properly. It doesn’t look comfortable, but it is.

I had the TC for about two years and then I finally sold it after being tired of the lack of mids and the piercing highs. However, I went through quite a few headphones trying to find a replacement for that bass. The OG d8000 finally did it for me.

Today I've tried type H pad at D8K. Great comfort, gorgeous sound! sound character is brighter than stock or Zmf pads and I really like it! This would be my go to pad for D8K.

I don’t hear it that way, that is if you’re saying, the stock pads are the F pads. Definitely better balanced than the G pads, but the F pads come off as thin sounding to me.
I haven't tried G with D8K yet but I could live with F pads and be super happy !!

Those are gorgeous pads, it seems to keep the ears at a more comfortable temperature and keep the pads from moving on the head.

After a 3 month separation, my D8000pro LE is back and it's now a limited limited since it's the first LE (that I know) to receive a Washi headband from the D7000.

I think it's more fancy than the Leather headband and way way more confortable.

I always used a Lavri Grand w elongated plugs with my D8Kpro. I shared this cable with a SolP which has "Grand" adapters.
Some pages back someone reported some damaged female plugs of his Final HP. So I decided to get an AC Talos V2 for my D8Kpro... one cable per HP so there won't be any need to unplug it all the time.

Loocks nice, doesn't it?

no microphonics, weave, splitter and those matching cherry HP connectors look certainly great.

But definitely not a fan of ACs choice of elongated plugs. Judge for yourself!
Choosing such a solution? I mean the wood should be flush with or 1mm away from the opening...

🤔 🧐 🤨
Lavris elongated 3,5s are more elegant and disappear inside the opening of the Final's!
