Pros

Sennheiser hd280 pro earphones are like brand new again. This padding set works very well for bringing old headphones back to life. Because they’re oem, they are a little pricier than some third-party manufactured options. It's premium quality since t...  Read More

The headpiece is a bear to get on. The top pad is even easier - it goes together like a ziploc. Once you get to the other short side of the oval, the whole thing falls into place. It's easy to zip it the rest of the way.

Luckily, these genuine replacement ear pads look and feel as good as i remember! The pads here are top quality and it's like getting a brand new pair of 280s. The most important part is that does in fact bring back the external noise reduction of the ...  Read More

Took me maybe 2-3 minutes to install them. They just require patience and a little fiddling to get seated correctly in the groove. It fit perfectly, nice and snug, just like original.

The design of the top band is different with multiple pads instead of one big one but it looks and feels fine so who cares? The band cushion replacement being included is a plus. Huge sound difference over my no name brand replacement cushions. I neve...  Read More



Cons

Ended up damaging my headphones trying to install the parts. Comfort is not great either compared to the original style of padding.

Quality


Perfect fit and not difficult to install after a few you tube searches.


That said, the comfort and quality of sound with the new ear cups is exceptional.


So the one star doesn’t really relate to the quality of the material just the difficulty in getting the headphone cups into tha...  Read More


Top tier cans with pads that expire every 2 years.

Price


Overall, this was worth every penny and i'm enjoying my purchase very well.


I know that they are a bit costly, but if you are looking for the original custom fit, this is your best bet.


These do not need to be almost $40.


It was pretty expensive but i’m glad i got these.

Shipping


Product arrived on time, was packaged well.


Took me a long time to get them on and it was hard.

Packaging/appearance


Additionally , these do come in a real sennheiser bag, not just some generic clear plastic bag.

Competitiveness


Literally more bass and sound clarity than the no name brand stuff.


The sound quality is so much better than it was previously and i'm not just saying that because they're new - it genuinely sounds better.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Tehse are a bit pricey for replacements imo but the real issue is the installation and i speak only for the headband since i havent had to replace the earcups yet


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It barely fits around the thing and is a bear to get on


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 34ziploc34 mechanism is very strong which is good but i couldnt get the entire thing sealed up and i bet you it will come apart after i use these on my big noggin for an extended period


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also the new headband isnt one continuous pad like the original its 2 squares and a middle thats largely flat


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Not sure why the design is this way and i dont know how it will affect comfort
