I got them for short walks down the street with my dog, going to mailbox, going out in the yard and back. They do alter the sound compared to the stock pads, not sure if I would say they make my ATH-M40x sound "worse". it ended up looking pretty cool. The sizing on these Croc sandals is crazy! I prefer reading product reviews from customers who have been using the product for some time rather than "Its so pretty right out of the box" reviews. The ivory color is a true ivory, but I discovered that I actually need a champagne color with my dress Luckily, this shoe comes in champagne as well, so I ordered those instead. Dann sehr räumlich, klar, dynamisch und genug Bass. Wesentlich teurer, aber da stimmt die Qualität. Worked perfectly. Needs more foam.
