Audeze Maxwell 1's Earpad recommendations w/ metal frame glasses

As the title states, straight to the point here. I've gone through Wicked Cushions Freeze pads which were great with my plastic frames glasses and then I bought new metal frames and they became a bit uncomfortable even after adjusting the headstrap pressure (for context I currently have the WC Wide XL headband) so I picked up a pair of WC Stealthz and they are definitely more comfortable than the Freeze's with these metal frame prescription glasses but they too still cause a bit of discomfort, my glasses have that sporty bow out and around to hug better on your face. All that to ask would the Dekoni Sheepskin pads be better than the Stealthz pads or any other recommendations for different pads I have not mentioned here specifically from anyone who has had experience with the Maxwell 1's and metal frame prescription glasses. I really don't wanna move to IEMs as I enjoy my Maxwells thoroughly but I'm frustrated with the comfort levels so far from any pad I've tried.

Amy input greatly appreciated.

P.S. Not that it significantly matters but I enjoy the Maxwell's for mostly MMORPGS. I also honestly thought the Stealthz pads would be the perfect answer but doesn't seem that way for me personally.

Cheers and Regards Audeze community.

Maxwell 1 vs Maxwell 2

I have owned the Maxwell 1's for about a year now and I have had many good wired headsets prior but I absolutely love these to be honest, I have had really zero problems and they've been amazing for what I use them for, that said, I would like to gift these to my nephew as he's just built his first PC which leads me to my question.

Would you, personally, especially people who have owned both versions, go for another pair of the Maxwell 1's again given that I've had a great experience thus far or should I just send the Maxwell 2's?

Im just waiting for aftermarket WC pads to drop for the Maxwell 2's before I make the decision to replace mine with more Maxwell 1's or go for the newer Maxwell 2's

Any thoughts, opinions, insights and feedback greatly appreciated.

Cheers.
