Dekoni Audio Elite Series Earpads for HiFiMan Sundara, HE-400i Headphones (Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin)

I was a little skeptical about ordering these and held off for as long as I could because not only did I not see the Amazon Free Return guarantee, but at $59.99 they are a third of the price I paid for the actual headphones themselves. HOWEVER, that being said, I could not be more satisfied with these earpads. For a little background, I have owned a pair of Hifiman HE400i headphones for a couple years (the original version with the comfort headband, not the 2020 edition) and while they were one of my favorite pairs and sounded great, I just felt like with just a little bit more bass they would be absolutely perfect. So I figured replacing the original earpads (which were of solid quality themselves) with these elite sheepskin upgrade pads (not fenestrated) would improve the bass and perhaps even the comfort (if possible with how comfortable these headphones already were) and turn them into an ideal headphone. Well even with those lofty expectations, I was absolutely blown away when I installed these earpads just how much they improved the bass impact and tightness along with the comfort--and all while having absolutely no negative effects on the sound quality or modifying the rest of the sound signature! I really couldn't recommend them any more even at $60. If you already love your Hifimans but want a little more bass, comfort and isolation and are willing to take the chance to transform them from amazing to masterful these are the pads for you! Totally worth the money. They will turn your HE400i headphones into endgame sounding headphones. Only issue I'm having now is that with how premium these earpads are, they make the rest of the somewhat plasticky feeling frame of the HE400i's feel a little cheap by comparison. But that's no fault of the earpads and for a pair of $150-$200 headphones, the build quality is still plenty solid. Maybe I'll upgrade to the Sundara or even XS someday and when I do I'll be sure to order some Dekoni elite pads for them as well! Until then, I'm more than over the moon about my experience with my now upgraded HE400i's! For even further reference, I also own a pair of Sennheiser HD599's, EPOS (Sennheiser gaming brand) H6 Pro closed back version, Hifiman Sundara closed back version, Philips Fidelio L2's, Philips Fidelio X3's, Master & Dynamic MH40's, and 1More Triple Driver earbuds. Which I usually power with my LG V50 ThinQ and/or Xduoo XD05 Plus amp/dac, or occasionally my FiiO übtr bluetooth dac. While using FLAC format and highest bitrate available in offline downloaded music. So that's my headphone listening experience and what my comparisons etc are based off. Still pretty only a handful of years into my audiophile journey but loving every bit of it, especially now with my upgraded Hifimans!... Now to find some Dekoni elite upgrade pads for my Sennheisers... Hope this helped!! Best of luck to all y'all music lovers out there!

These ear pads are a dream come true. They check all the boxes i was looking for. Extremely comfortable? check! Help keep the build up of heat around my ears to a minimum? Check! fit perfectly and easy to install? Check and Check! As for changes to sound quality due to the earphones. I personally could not notice a difference in the sound between these and the original hybrid style the Sundara come with. It is possible that with the down time to change out the ear pads (a little under 5 minutes the first time to remove the old and get the new ones installed) that it throws off what i think i hear. I could probably do some tests with one ear pad on each to see if i can tell a difference but frankly ... i dont care that much. They sound fantastic, they feel fantastic, and that's all I could ask fro in a new set of ear pads.

Just a nice cosmetic upgrade. I did’t really A/B the pads because I didn’t want to put too much strain on them. However, I don’t notice any obvious differences between the stock and Dekoni pads. Super comfy but I did have to go up another notch on the headband to get the same fit.

I purchased a set of these Elite Sheepskins for my HE4XX cans and, I have to say, they're ridiculously more comfortable than the stock pads- once you actually get them on. Comfort, as I said, is great. I can wear these things for hours and just sort of feel them disappear on my head. Way better support than stock. Way better memory foam. Way better quality of material. Which it damned well should be for the cost. Installing them, owing to the little raised nubs on the rings not standing as tall as the stock ones as well as the lining of the pads not being attached or held on in any way around said rings, is an absolute nightmare. Prepare for a lot of getting three sides in only to have the fourth keep slipping out or simply not seating properly. Sound quality? I think bass went up, as well as a bit more defined and clear highs. They still definitely sound good. Why do I say "I think"? Because I seriously don't want to go through popping them off and reinstalling to check.

First, these pads are very high quality. The leather is soft, the foam is dense and forgiving. They feel luxerious and well made. However, they are dimmesionally different enough from the OEM Hifiman Pali Pads that I found them to be far less comfortable. I could wear my Sundaras all day with out fatigue but I can only wear the new pads maybe an hour or so before i have to take a break. The earholes are smaller by nearly 5mm and the thickness of the padding at its most narrow point is greater by at least 5mm . The overall impact is the clamp force is tighter and the smaller earholes create more preasure points that do not exhist with the OEM pads. I rotated the pads many times to try and find an orientation that was more comfortable and never found a fit I could live with. I really want to love these for their superior build quality and the warmer, "bass-ier" sound signature. Ultimately, I went back to the OEM HifiMan Pali Pads. Your results may vary. I tried them on Sundaras and HE400i with the same result.

I got these as replacement rear pads for my 400i headphones as the original pads eventually have up on me. These seem to be very well made and are as easy to put on as the focuspads Hifiman use. Once on they are very comfortable and will hopefully last a good amount of time. They do change the sound signature slightly and it will come down to personal preference if that's a good or bad thing.

Is short: This is what Hifiman Sundara should come with from the factory. These are amazing in every sense of the word. Not too soft, not too hard. Much more breathable and comfortable than the once that come with the headphones out-of-the-box. I don't really notice any real difference in sound between these and the original pads, which is great. 13/10 would recommend! Hifiman should include Dekoni replacement pads in every purchase of all their headphones that Dekoni makes replacement pads for, they really are that great.

先に行っておきますとDEVAは対応機種に記載ありませんし 取り付けベースがきっちり合わず上手く装着できませんでした。 なので純正パッドの取り付けベースを入れて取り付けし問題なしでした。 純正パッドがボロボロになって交換する場合はこれでいいかと思います。

Installation is a bit tricky but once you get them on they're super comfy. I can listen to my Sundara for hours on end and not feel any discomfort. Something I couldn't do with the OEM pads.

Come Dekoni ci ha abituato, la qualità è eccezionale
