RE: memory foam headphones

Because memory foam earpads will adjust or mold themselves to the contours of an individual's anatomy in response to both pressure and body heat, they might potentially provide a better seal than other types of foam earpads. On a cold dummy head, memory foam earpads may not seal that much better than other types of foam earpads and any measurements taken might reflect this. On a warm human head, I would expect both bass performance and noise isolation to improve (rather then deteriorate) because of memory foams ability to "seal".

That said, I doubt that anyone knows for sure...

More and more, headphone manufacturers are including different types of earpads with their headphones so that individuals can choose the type that fits, feels, and sounds the best. Measurements be damned, choose the earpads that work best for you.
