Thanks again Marv for taking the time out of your busy schedule to do these measurements (as well as breaking your HE500s along the way  :(). Mind also tacking on the CSDs you measured?

CSDs.

NOTE: Ignore "ortho wall" ringing at 3kHz.  This artifact appears to be seen with ortho diaphragms which have been tensioned, e.g. Audeze. The greater the tension, the higher this resonance. At least that's what the reside ortho gurus here suspect. I personally don't think it's audible.

Can any generalizations be made with regard to how these pads sound in themselves? That is, will the pleather pads make a different headphone sound brighter as well?

I'm excited to hear these on the HE500 as well

I wouldn't say brighter - but more airy and open. There's a certain congested feeling with the HFMs and even the Audezes. These pads tend to open things up. I believe dbel took a similar type of approach (in terms of effect) with his LCD3 mods.

Does not help with slow bass unfortunately. But otherwise seems very good =)
