Anybody try pad swapping these to tame the treble?

I read they got a revision some time ago to tame that treble and give them some more girth to the lows too.

I honestly don’t mind a bit of treble energy myself, but one thing I don’t get along with my DT770’s is the velour makes my skin around my ears itchy. I had to change them to the synthetic leather ones Beyer sell, which honestly, don’t sound half bad. But is the velour on the stock pads similar on these? Is it synthetic and coarse like the Beyers?

I have the HD 560s and the pads are soft, not scratchy.

Of course, different people can experience things differently but I’ve never had any comfort issues with these headphones.
