There are a few options I have considered.
However, is it a good idea to apply equalizer to third-party pads? Can equalizer actually bring about neutral sound signature without too much hassle?
Upon further consideration, I realized that equalizer will not bring back the stock sound stage unless the replacement pads try to reproduce the stock sound stage as much as possible. Thus, if you buy replacement pads, you should at least buy a pair that reproduces the stock sound stage. Equalizer may or may not be able to bring about neutral sound signature.
I don't particularly like neutral sound signature, but I want the conceptual simplicity of neutral sound signature. With neutral sound signature, what I get is close to what was intended during recording. Getting what was intended is simple and doesn't add complications.
- Buy a pair of headphones for which you can buy durable stock pads or durable third-party pads that don't change sound signature a lot.
- Buy a pair of durable and comfortable third-party pads, measure the sound with a microphone, and apply equalizer with software.
