    Justin, better yet since I have a spare set of new MKI pads, I can hook you up with the set thats on my O2 right now for 45 shipped. Its still in almost brand new condition(full, not compressed w/no deep wrinkles or anything). Been meaning to try some MK2 pads so maybe that will push me to do so.

    Seriously? Wow, that's awfully nice of you to do so! If you decide to get the Mk2 pads let me know and I'll buy the MkI pads off you.

    Ditto, I will never go back to the Mk1 pads.

    Hrm...are they really that much more comfy? Does anybody know a suitable foam that could be placed inside the O2 earpads that wouldn't wear down as quickly as the stock foam?

    Didn't you try the MK2 in the Woo Audio room @ CJ? To me they were a lot more comfortable.

    I can't even remember anymore, that was a while back and I wasn't really paying attention to the fit differences.

    It's more to do with the thicker leather and the different design then the slightly stiffer foam.

    Oh, so the foams on the Mk1 pads wear down fast? Is there an easy way to open up the pads and make copies of the foams before they wear down? Also are there any changes in sound between the Mk1 and Mk2 pads?

    The Omega pads are easy to open, the leather is just rolled over the foam. See here. On the SR-007 you get a bit more punch in the bass and most of all, you sweat a lot less with the Mk2 pads.

    Cool, thanks for the link to the pics! Very informative. And at the price that I got Vincent's Mk1 pads, I'm not at all complaining. Even though I did not spend very long with O2 Mk1's at any given time, I did not seem to find sweat build-up a problem but extended listening may change that.

    After an hour or so sweat can start to build up (even up here in the cold) but no sweat with the Mk2 pads.

    Curse you all for making me consider buying new pads, even though I have never found the mk1 ones sweaty! Ah well, at least it would let me use my then to be spare mk1 pads on various other headphones.

    The foam does compress rather quickly in the mk1 pads. I put a new pair on mine shortly after buying the headphones and the pads needed to be replaced in slightly over a year. Though the O2 were pretty much the only thing I listened to in that time.

    edit: coming up on my two year anniversary of O2 mk1 ownership

    Has anyone been in touch with Craig (kuboten) in the last few days? I emailed a couple of days ago and have not heard back.

    I've been in contact with Craig lately, but hes been a little slower with response to emails because hes in the process of moving. He'll get back to you soon enough.
