In fact, when I used solid sheepskin pads rather than suede pads, the bass was too boomy and this threw the overall sound off balance. Type H pads are currently shipping and I'm expecting them to be the best results in terms of fit and sound.

Makes sense. Regular pads should give too much bass for most people.
For me, the H pads were the best in terms of comfort and sound.
I feel more weight in sub-bass region, especially below 80 hz. I think the foams in ZMF pads had higher density than stock pads in D8K..
The higher foam density in ZMF pads give more sub-bass~bass authority. However, this is due to suppersion of sound dissipation through the pad. If you don't have any issues with fit or sound with your current pads, I wouldn't recommend trying some ZMF pads for D8K.

Just got this and it’s such a revelation in terms of sound signature. I don’t know the right words but music just sounds natural in this. This is my first TOTL headphone and managed to get it for a good price in Japan. I also managed to grab a pair of washi pads there and it’s my favorite of the three. Going to grab a custom cable or maybe a final audio silver cable and enjoy music all through the night. Love this headphone.

It’s the OG. I don’t know how the pro or LE sounds but this is great.

It's all personal opinion but I like the OG better than the LE and Pro.
I previously tried the D8000 at an exhibition, sounds interesting, with a rather unique tuning
Upon searching, I found that there is a limited edition of the D8000. Can anyone share your thoughts whether there is any difference in tuning between these two versions, or is it just in terms of appearance? LE's black and gold is truly stunning!

If you use the search bar on this thread you will find a lot of information/comparisons.
I just installed H pads and instantly feel it less dark sounding than w F pads, bass quality and quantity still there (V281)
At the edge of sibilance with H pads to my ears, need to try G asap and also with HA-6A
I think H pads would not really suit Pro at all.

Actually, after speaking to Final Audio, they told me that one of the main differentiators between the pro and the LE are the H pads.
I don’t find any siblilance using the H pads.
My ears are too delicate for sibilances, I prefer dark sounding while keeping detail but I'm experiencing a new sound in less than 24h so I need to adapt first before any serious judgments
I like it a lot so far and it takes 3 minutes to replace the pads ^^
In comfort so far, H pads cannot be beaten hahahahahaG-pads=The Best!!
