asian fit is basically made to fit a flatter, rounder face with a flatter nose.

ive never tried a pair on, but i dont think so. they dont have enough curve or contour.

Someone in a different thread said that there is an extra layer of padding in the nose area, but other than that they don't fit that much different.  I haven't had any personal experience with them though so I can't really back that up.

it's the saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame thing. I remember someone posting pictures to show what was the difference.

The ONLY difference is that the foam near the nose area has an extra pad. it's like not even half a inch thick. I bought a pair and didnt realised until a month of use. And the price are lower because noone buy them.

DO you think shaving down that foam would fuck it up?
