        Good point, thin pads may be used to minimize pad impact on sound, I have moderate hearing loss at 8 khz. I am already missing the highs. I doubt these would reflect any sound at all, bass is still good because I still get the sound direct to my ears. My guess is there is less interplay with the pads.

        Larger interiors help get more of the speaker exposed too. Just as resolving as either hifiman pad, Being slightly further from the driver with more driver exposed can't be bad, can it?

        @GoodEnoughGear gets plus points for wabi-sabi, haha. I rather like the look of worn (but not filthy) gear myself, it adds more character than it deducts from resale value.
