That's not what I said

If they didn't use a more expensive design that includes magnets then 3rd party options would be more plentiful and likley easier to diy without having to worry about damaging more expensive pads or a mounting/magnet system

Lots of headphones have proprietary pad designs, but most dont require additional mounting rigs, you can get a 3d printed rig like you can for audeze or monolith that accept universal pads, but I'm not sure if that's possible for these

Abyss has used magnets to secure their pads for the AB-1266 OG’s in about 2013 or so not for sure of the time frame but close to ten years now. So it is not like people have not had a chance to replicate them.
The thing is there are a lot more HD-650’s and Sundara’s out there than Abyss Diana’s and you can find pads for them easily and they both use very different mountings to secure them . Pretty hard to adapt those to the Diana’s and vise versa.
While you think $260 is crazy for pads I get it but to mod something for a very unique headphone like these the time and labor would be so much more.
You might believe that they designed them so no one else can make easy to replicate ones.
They pop off and on in seconds why doesn’t everyone do it this way ?

forgive me if I am interpreting your tone incorrectly but it seems like you might be a bit deep in the rabbit hole from the way u are talking about these pads.

Your money is your money but my question is that have you tried EQ-ing beforehand? Because I feel that the bass boost you get from these pads could be easily EQ-ed to your liking.
