Hello chums,
I’ve been using my new Superlux HD668B headphones for about a week now, and at the moment I am using the stock earpads. I love the headphones, but I have found that my ears press against the headphones and start to hurt after prolonged periods of use.
Is there anywhere where I could get deeper earpads so that my ears don’t touch the headphones?
Thanks!
I have this exact problem.
I bought some velour pads off ebay, these I believe
These pads were more comfortable than the stock as long as I used the inner cover from the stock and not the ones that came with the pads (they made my ears bleed).
However the headphones were still touching my ears so I just put some packing foam (the soft stuff like what you get in camera hard cases) between the earcup and the headphone, works like a charm. Even makes the bass a little tighter.
But if you are looking for something a little more polished, some people have said that these fit the 668B's with a little effort. I haven't tested these myself and I'm not entirely sure that they would fit as they are more of an oval shape than a circular shape, probably worth a shot though as they look very deep and comfortable, not sure how they would affect sound though.
Id go with the VelPad for HIFIMAN Over Ear Planar Magnetic Headphone HE400S,560,400i,400,6,500
but if you dont want velour go with HM5 pads
Dunno if this helps, but I own them too (EFFing love them, thanks Tek for the recommendation) and I've found I have to adjust them to get my ear in properly. If I just put them on quickly, my ear will touch it too. Try rotating them a touch to get your ear in.
Also, it makes me wonder how many headphones The Tek "sold" after that video. Props to them.
