Focal Clear headphones

Hi, maybe I can buy a clear og second hand but the pads are heavily worn, do the original pads worth the price? I don't care about the look but i 'd like a pair of pads that don't affect the origiinal sound. What pads do you recommend?

I would recommend you buy the dekoni elite velour pads, it really does help improve the sound of the Clears, the original pads are really good and confortable tho, some people recommend using utopia pads for the clears, tho I think this are more expensive than the Clear OG pads.

Focal Utopia original pads. They don't change the frequency response too much and you get quite an upgrade in the technical department.

dekoni stellia seem to be overall the best I've tried. Very soft leather feel, adds to low end and fixes some of the 'muffled' midrange.

I found the ZMF Focal pads to work well with my Focal Clear OG. There's a small difference, but I found it to not be unpleasantly different.

I can buy an og for about 470€ and a mg for about 100€ more. The og seems very used instead the mg is in very good condition. Never tried a focal, I mostly use a sennheiser hd 600 and grado rs2x, i like both, but the clear seems to be superior.
For those of you that have tried both the clear models, which one do you recommend? Here some pics of the og, do you think that the pads need to be replaced? Thanks in advance for the help

You'll definitively want to change those pads, I recommend the dekoni velour elite for focal hp, ask him if he can send you a video with the headphones playing music and just make sure both drivers are working and playing music.

He said that the headphones work perfectly, anyway he sells on vinted and an eventual return won't be a problem. The pads cost about 50€ so the price is very close to the mg, that seem like new
