Yeah it’s amazing how much pad rolling can change the sound of headphones. It’s one of the reasons I like the Focal line-up so much because the pads are so easily interchanged and it’s so easy to see the differences they make.
We don’t actually have any Clears in the office right now but I wanted to give them a run through with the Utopia and Stellia pads. I’m not a huge fan of microfibre pads myself as I find they can get dirty pretty fast so I’d be curious to hear those two pads on the Clear. I know @Torq measured it here as well.
