ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion
it seems the thread is kind of dead, but i try again with another question. i bought a pair of new "stock" pads from thomann, which seem to have an adhesive sticker on them. so if i would put them on, they would be glued to the phones, just as the originals that still are on the ether 2. but...- sofastreamer

ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion
