@Schopenhauer, don't you think that $47 + $14 is a little high? Generic leather ear pads from Amazon are only $10 and its free shipping. Haven't figured out the Sony site to check on the prices of OEM ear pads, waiting on customer service to get back to me.
Now that you mention it, I suppose it's a little steep. I guess I wasn't phased because I've paid more than that for pads in the past. We'll see. I'm probably willing to pay if they're built partially to spec but with some added depth. The OEM pads you mention: They would be the same as the pads the 1A comes with?
And it's certainly steep in light of the total cost of the headphones themselves. I find the headphones already comfortable. Not maximally comfortable. Perhaps the deeper pads would more closely approach the maximum. Let's see what happens.
