Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the ear pads are replaceable; they're memory foam covered in velour, offering good comfort but may require replacement over time due to wear.
While a decent amp is recommended, some portable DAC/amps with sufficient power output *can* drive them adequately, but you'll maximize their potential with a dedicated headphone amplifier.
