The foam in my SR-007 earpads is degrading, they need to be replaced soon. I'm not sure if I should pay 200€ for the original Stax earpads, or buy Vesper Audio earpads for around 100€. Does anyone here have experience with custom earpads from them? Based on everything I have read and seen, the build quality is much higher than in the original earpads and the leather is much higher quality too. I haven't seen anyone talking about sonic differences, I'm worried they would change the sound of my headphones. I love the way they sound now and don't want to change that. They offer basic foam, memory foam and latex, I have no idea if the foam will have an effect on the sound and which one would be closest to the original?
