Hello! I'm wondering about buying new earcups for my AKG k533s, that won't change the sound. The stock earcups are comfortable material, but not deep enough - I can feel the driver against my ears.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

you can get the brainwavz pads to fit, I am not sure how much thicker they are.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

Do they change how the headphones will sound?

a little since they will most likely move your ears a little further away from the drivers. I don't think it will be something you will hear and if you do, it might be something that you would like.
