What are SQ differences?

I've been watching their videos on IG regarding the build of HD800 components. I thought all of the videos were in DE, but regardless, I believe all foam is hand cut in batches (with a machine). Different foam or different shape?

Ireland pad opening is smaller. They are also slightly thicker. Results in slightly more thump and 3~5% decrease in uppermost highs. It can be a good thing for super bright pairs. But I'd take Germany any day since it's more transparent.

I guess the stage size takes a hit as well?

Heh, had my order for new pads for my pair in since April of last year now I think. Hopefully if they are being made now in Ireland, that explains the long ass delay for me.

@Emojiless Yes
@netforce yeah, I think now because it's at Ireland the supply issues are solved! Probably the delay before was because it was made in Germany and was transitioning into Sonova thing
