Q: What pads do you recommend?
A: Stock only. Stock only…. stock only. Hey, Senn nailed these. They do a lot of things right! If I found better pads, I’d be using them myself. Why would I use something that I think is not the best?
Q: How about cables?
A: I’ll leave it up to you, but… for JAR800, I like stock Senn HD800 cables. They are actually really good quality and are quite transparent. Again, I’ve tried nearly everything I can try.
For JAR6x0-type models, you can use whatever you want. I still prefer Senn with those too though, but cable choice doesn’t matter that much on these. It’s just HD800 that’s very sensitive.
