Quality


Pretty easy to replace, comfortable, and not flaking


These maintain the great sound quality i was used to without the dreaded black fuzz.


Needless to say, the foam had broken down over the years and the headphones weren't as secure nore as comfortable.


They were very stiff & too high for my small head, which caused gaps all the way around, and when i pulled one out to adjust it...  Read More

Price


The older pads are a bit softer and more comfortable but these are a serviceable replacement and saved me about $100 overall so...  Read More


Unfortunately, the caveat for this is that it made these $300 (now nearly $600) headphones feel a bit "cheap", due to the lack of heft.


If you've got the $20 to spare, i'd definitely recommend at the very least giving them a try!


I wasnt expecting much other than an inexpensive replacement, but the cups are very comfortable and deep.

Shipping


Delivered quickly and were easy to install.


These arrived quickly and in quality packaging.

Packaging/appearance


Love the look of the ivory with the subtle black trim too.

Competitiveness


It goes without saying that there’s a huge difference in build quality between brands and these are much much better built than those.


It is even nicer when those "back-ups" are as good as the originals.


Sadly, sennheiser doesn't sell replacement parts directly anymore and they've farmed out their warranty work to a third party.


I couldn't help but notice these more pricey alternatives, but jumped the gun after seeing so many positive reviews.

    My sennheiser hd598 sr headphone pads had started to come apart at the seams to the point you could see the foam underneath peaking through


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So i decided to replace them instead of buying a new set of headphones


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The instructions were accurate and easy to follow but since i had never taken the pads off my headphones before i was a bit hesitant to just pull on them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    With the new pads on the headphones fit just about the same


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It feels a bit muffled somehow


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its not terrible but it is noticeable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The original pads are fine but they are velvet


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These claims as lamb skin which i will expect to be more durable and easy to keep clean
