Hey, I did a search (

) for PX100 pads and found some threads about where to get the normal black ones, but I couldn't find anything about where to get the yellow pads. Do the yellow 414 pads fit on?

Errr, those yellow pads ARE 414 pads! Cutting a quarter-sized hole to them and using them reversed was a popular mod for older PX100 which was quite dark sounding. With those modded pads they sounded more brighter.

They do - sort of... and they look super-silly

...which leaded quite a lot of people to mod their mod with black dye.

 

[vapman]

do they stick out much? i might just get the plain black ones again if they're bigger than the stock pads.

 

[MaZa]

About inch or so.

 

[vapman]

meh, no big deal then. i'll get me a pair.

Are there not yellow coloured stock pads for the retro edition PX100?

 

[vapman]

i wasn't able to find any with google. i doubt they'd be for sale anyway, because they were a limited edition headphone.

My grey PX100W pads are turning yellow. I'm not too happy about that

Yup. You are right. I had the Retro Edition PX100 and they did have bright yellow pads.

Here's a picture:

Oh and one more piece of information:

The Limited Edition Retro PX100 have the 1st generation copper voice coils as opposed to the aluminum coils used in the new ones.

I saw some of those limited edition PX100s for sale here in Hong Kong. I might have to get me a pair

i thought the aluminum in the newer PX100s was better sounding?
SQ wise, what would be best...new PX100s with 1/4 modded 414pads OR these retro edition PX100s with their stock yellow pads.

also can you get the stock PX100 foam pads off and put them back on easily without damaging them?
