What material do you prefer for Ear pads.

[JSG509]

Just wanted to see what material you guys/girls prefer for headphone ear pads.  Im currently on an epic journey to find some sweat Headphones and wanted to know what you prefer.  Another thing Im wondering is what is the most comfortable material or if you could recommend some headphones that are the most comfortable no questions asked.   

 

Also does it even matter what material when your looking at buying higher end Headphones? I would assume the material would be squared away but would hate to just buy blindly and regret my choice. I have only ever owned pleather so dont know what to expect.  

 

I know the majority of the people have pleather so if you could please answer the poll with what you prefer rather then what you have that would be great.

I am yet to buy some for my Superlux, but I'd say velour.

I use the velvet ones on my Clouds instead of the leather ones cause they get too hot.

[Whorax]

Velour, leather nearly gives me a heat stroke.

[ZetZet]

Velour or Leather.

 

 

Pleather doesn't breathe so it's painful.

[Str_Mape]

I'm all for velour, leather doesn't feel as comfortable for me and sweat becomes an issue.

I use the velvet ones on my Clouds instead of the leather ones cause they get too hot.

I have clouds but i use leather and it seems to breathe more and be a bit cooler to me

Also how it the synthetic thing called on Corsair Void for example or Logitech spectrum G633/933

[ThinkWithPortals]

I seem to prefer pleather, I find the velour pads on my Clouds irritating.

[ICantThinkOfAnyGoodName]

Velour is extremely compfortable IMO.

[Tagiau]

Plushy stuff is amazingly comfortable.

[AresKrieger]

I'm pretty sure I like pleather, as I know what the other two materials are but my headphones are made from a different material and I assume pleather is just plastic leather.

velour makes my head itchy

[xtroria]

Velour, with hard memory foam. HD800 and K7xx/ K712 use these materials and all three of them are extremely comfortable to use

[Nomy]

Velour, love my HD598 to death.

[The Official Czex]

Dat velour on mah Beyer's... DT 990 never felt so good.

[EliasNM]

Velour, I can't use leather for a prolonged period of time for obvious reasons (sweating and sometimes itchy conditions it produces)

[Jacona]

All of them.

 

Like these Brainwavz pads. I think the focuspads from HiFiman are similar.
