PadZ Velour - The Ultimate Upgraded Earpads by Wicked Cushions - Compatible with Audio Technica, HyperX, SteelSeries Arctis & More - Extra Thick - Bigger Opening - Softer Memory Foam | (Black)

if you've ever got the change to wear a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones, these are the only real ear cushions you should be looking at I got a model without the inner fabric, they flaked off in roughly a year. These ones don't have that issue while remaining just as deep and comfortable, and being much more durable. I use these for My AT M40X headphones making making electronic music with a bit of gaming and things on the side, the sound isolation and ear space is definitely an upgrade over the OGs so if you have AT headphones BUY THESE, I will say no more.

These will change the comfort of your headphone in a very pleasing way. I tried over 5 different earcups for my M50xbt2, and this one is by far my favorite. They feel like a pillow hugging your ear. The product quality is much better (not even close) to stock earpads. They were easy to install on my headphone, it took me about 3 minutes to put them on. I used them for about a month now and they still look like new. Do they change sound quality? yes, but not significantly. I recommend equing these headphones anyway, with the correct eq you can still get amazing results. I recomment oratory1990 presets. Just get the one titled M50x valor and adjust it to your liking.

I have always loved my mx50s but they were always uncomfortable to wear for any extended period of time. These have made me fall in love with them all over again. So much more comfortable than the stock ones and my (what I would like to think are well trained) ears can tell no difference in the sound signature. Installation was easy even tho, like an ape, I refused to follow any instructions or reference a tutorial. The old ones just slipped off and with the smaller amount of fines from my uneducated self, the new ones slipped on. Well worth it. 10/10 would recommend.

I'll preface this review with explaining my rating scale. 5 stars = Would buy again and recommend to anyone to buy. 4 stars = Product as advertised, would probably buy again and recommend with caveats. 3 stars = Product as advertised but would shop alternatives next time around. Would advise others to shop but keep product on list. 2 stars = Product does the job but has poor quality and would probably not buy again. 1 star = Product does not perform as advertised, poor quality and experience. Would recommend others to steer clear of product. My experience with these earpads places solidly within my 4-star scale. I bought these as a replacement to the pads on my ATH-M50s that were old, compressed and had a finish that was starting to flake off. I was never a fan of the fake leather material on the M50s and they sat right on top of my ears and often got hot and uncomfortable. It made long listening session almost unbearable. These Wicked Cushions earpads are a revelation comfort wise. First of all, they are much larger. Large enough that my ears fit inside the earpads instead of resting directly on them. The memory foam and the velour cover are comfortable, soft, and don't get hot. It changed the feel of the ATH-M50s completely. Quality seems good and fit is just right. I can see these outlasting the stock pads easily. Now the caveat. This will change the sound of your M50s. While I do not consider myself a true audiophile, I do enjoy quality music and accurate reproduction. While the M50s are good entry level earphones I did enjoy the punchiness of the bass and the detail of the mids and highs. It was just enough to not be too harsh on my ears and though the bass was prominent, it did not take away from the mids and highs for me. These earpads really changed that. At first listen I immediately noticed that the bass was far less prominent. Still there and good accurate bass but much much softer. In contrast the mids and highs seem to become a bit more pronounced. The highs were actually borderline harsh on certain notes. I was really surprised with the change. I suspect the change in sound is due to the thickness of these pads. They are almost twice as thick as the stock pads. As a result, your ear sits further away from the drivers. I'm pretty sure the engineers at Audio Technica tuned the M50s for your ear being within a certain range of distance from the drivers. On a hunch I tried pressing my headphones in, essentially squeezing the earpads, and lo and behold, upon doing so the old sound of the stock M50s came back. Would I buy again? I think so. The comfort and quality are a big improvement over stock and that alone would afford me the ability to enjoy my headphones for longer. The sound change is noticeable to me, but I don't exactly mind it. You might reconsider if you are especially attached to how the stock M50s sound or are really, really into bass over all else.

Great fit on headset, feels good over the ears, soft. Haven’t had any issues with comfort or sweating.

I was a little skeptical as I saw one insightful review that didn't praise the durability of this product, but many others that did. I took a chance, and I only have had them for a few days so time will tell about the durability, but WOW these are comfy! They fit perfectly on my ATH-M50x's, and make them leagues more comfortable. The earpads that came stock on the headset were too small for my ears and led to headaches over time, and I also had to take out my gauges in order to wear them semi-comfortably, but these earpads have an increased size earcup that can fit comfortably around the whole ear, even with earrings on. As for noise cancelling, I'd say they filter noise but definitely don't cancel it. Which is what I prefer, personally. The quality feels great, they're very plush and soft. I haven't noticed any slimy sweat problems yet (chalk it up to the fabric that actually touches your skin, plush!) I highly recommend these earpads.

My son doesn't like how faux leather ear pads create an airtight seal on his ear but also doesn't like that velour pads let's so much outside sound in. These ear pads are the perfect in between. They also fit well on his hyperx headset

I've had the M50x headphones for 5 years (as of yesterday apparently). About 6 months ago, I noticed some more rapid deterioration of the foam pads they came with. I caught myself disliking the overall experience I had with the headphones, and then I took a step back and thought about why I didn't like them. They had become uncomfortable and I attributed to the dull, worn stock pads that had severed me well for 4 solid years of daily use. I searched on Amazon for ear pads compatible with the M50x and looked at a few options before I stumbled upon these. I checked the review photos to see a comparison against the stock pads and I was looking for something a bit more cushion-y without the slick tacky and fake leather material. I decided to choose these ear pads based on what I was reading and saw in photos. I must say, when I got these ear pads I was excited. The installation was simple and the included instructions assured me of the most ideal installation method. These ear pads have been on my headphones for about a week now and it has created a new appreciation for the M50x's. They are very soft in the velour finish, offer a great seal and isolation, without some of the heat build up I've experienced with some ear pads. They are also a bit more cushion-y which removes the driver from being so direct to your ear, softening some of the crisp highs that the M50x offer out of the box. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this product. If they last even half as long as the original pads, I think the value they've added to the overall M50x package is more than worth the reasonable asking price. Highly recommended. I received no compensation of any sort from the company, but I do think it's a great product.
