Can you replace the stock pleather pads on the DT770 PRO for velour pads? (alien.top)

I just ordered myself a fresh set of DT770 pros 32-ohm and was a bit annoyed that they come with pleather pads and not velour pads. I got the 32ohm version as i wasn’t sure if the 80ohm one would work the best as i don’t have an amp or anything and it’s just going to be plugged straight into the motherboard ; I’m using it for gaming and music purposes. Is there any way for me swapping the pleather pads for the velour pads sold online?

EDIT: and does anyone know where i can find velour pads on amazon that would fit the DT770 Pro?

The pleather pads are designed to offer a tad more isolation as 32 ohm are the "mobile" version. I personally don't mind them at all for comfort (they currently have black velour on them though).

The pleather replacements are harder to find and need to be sure they're the "fenestrated" version and not the extra isolating version made for DT770M.

The genuine regular velour pads fit the same and don't alter the sound much. EDT 770 are what you're after.

Take note that the pads have a surprisingly large effect on the tone. I put 880 pads on mine out of interest and it sounded god-awful. For this reason I would stick to genuine DT770 pads rather than cheap aftermarket ones.
