Make sense since it looks unfinish. I still hope we get some more information today on these headphones.

Imma be honest, I am not a big fan of these pads. I hope this is just a placeholder pad or the final version looks better. I can convince myself that they look cool and think of them as chainmail armor.

Hard to tell from the video, but Iād assume itās to allow a lot of the sound to escape, a high tech version of the CA-1A Coffee Bean pads.
Iād be concerned with cost of them, though Final hasnāt been terrible in that regard previously.
Looks to be very light, I wonder what that means in terms of the focus of the design.

around $5K is what I read (>700K yen)
I think theyāre trying something different and thatās cool. That is what high end concepts and eventually TOTL headphones should do imo to push the hobby forward.

unfortunately I read somewhere that even the pads I have on my LE arenāt really available at the moment for purchase on their own so thatās not very promisingā¦

Yep cant find any replacement LE pads.
Also concerned about the no headband pads and just metal bands on the head.
Iād say this is a must for comfort levels on D8K after using it for a while. Dramatic improvement.
How does anyone need new pads on an LE? Isnāt it a relatively new can, a year or so old? What do people do with their headphones to wear through a pair of pad that quick?
Or is it a case of Pro owners buying up the LE pads and hence the lack of availability?
No one is buying LE pads, you simply canāt at the moment afaik. I wanted a second set just in case.
someone on head-fi posted the D8K prototype, so who knows how the X8000 will end up lookingā¦

This makes me far more comfortable tbh. That design looks trash tbh

I have a perfect model head, the only HP Iāve ever put on that bothered me was the OG Audeze head band. #blessed #fearnohp

I usualy donāt have much issues with fit either. Og audeze and rad are the only two that realy stood out and I think that was a combo of the band and weight as opposed to just one or the other tbh
