I bought these for my Superlux HD672 to improve its comfort and its sound quality.I tried a number of ways to get the best improvement in sound quality. Putting the pads on the plastic rings made the sound warmer, but didn't get rid of the 7-10KHz treble peak. Cutting a piece of two-ply toilet paper into a circle and putting one ply over each driver fixed that issue. Sound signature was warm, with boosted bass but some bleed into the lower midrange. Mids and treble were otherwise neutral, but with a slight loss of detail, which I had expected. If you like a warm sound, this is the way to go.To fix the lower midrange bleed, I removed the pads from the plastic rings. Then I used masking tape to tape all the holes before attaching pads over the headphones without putting them back onto the plastic rings (which use the holes that were sealed with tape). The bass was brought down a bit, but no longer interferes with the midrange. Add that to the toilet paper mod I used earlier, sound quality is much improved. If you prefer a more neutral, detailed sound, this is the way to go.After the mods, the sound signature is close to neutral but with a slight boost in the subbass and midbass. I personally prefer the bass to be just above neutral, so that's perfect for me. Bass extension is also improved. The 7-10KHz treble peak is gone, but treble sparkle and airiness is by and large preserved. Also gone is the ringing that the silicone pads caused. Midrange is just as good if not better than with the factory silicone pads.No matter how the pads are placed on the headphones, comfort is vastly improved, and allows the HD672 to be worn for hours at a time with no issues whatsoever.Update June 2022: I realized that putting a piece of two-ply toilet paper inside the pad so that it'll sandwich in between the cloth protector and the plastic rings eliminates the bass issues, and simultaneously solves the 7-10KHz treble peak the HD672's are known for. Plus, this solves the problem of having to reapply the toilet paper mod every time I want to remove the pads. Bass is now punchy and doesn't start to roll off until below 50Hz, with bass easily audible down to as low as 30Hz. Midrange bleed is completely gone. I'd say the bass is slightly boosted, but very well balanced with the mids and highs. There is absolutely no loss in detail with the 7-10 KHz peak completely eliminated. In fact, I paid just $20 for the Superlux HD672, and I bought these for around $19. I'm willing to go as far as to say that the HD672 is now the best sounding pair of headphones I own, and certainly the one I enjoy listening to music on the most. If I could double the rating to ten stars, I would. Because these pads along with some toilet paper transformed them from a boring, analytical sounding headphone into one with a very fun, yet neutral sound signature. A perfect sound signature for acoustic music, jazz, rock music, movies, TV, even EDM and pop music. I'd wholeheartedly buy these if you have the Superlux HD 672.

Made a huge difference for the Samson SR850. They headphones on their own are an insane value for the price but the included ear cups are laughably bad. These replacement ear cups are a game changer, the stock ones barely fit around my ears but these fit perfectly. They are a decent amount wider so it's amplifies the bass frequencies because the drivers are physically farther away but it does muffle the mids and highs a little bit. I personally think it's a fair trade off because I'm not using it these headphones for anything serious like editing but if you are getting these for reference headphones be warned they could affect the frequency response.They fit the SR850s very well and were relatively easy to get on. The foam is very plush and the thickeness helps it mold perfectly to you head.

Old pads on my HE4XX headphones were getting worn from daily use. Found these and gave em a go for the affordable price and positive reviews.Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the comfort and sound.One thing to note if you have the HE4XX - I had to DIY a bit for the installation to work. The material on the back completely covered the clips on the mounting ring. This made it impossible to reattach to the headphones. I grabbed a blade and cut small indents where the clips are positioned on my mounting ring. Easy install after that.

very comfortable and perfect fit for ATH-AD700x

I had to replace the stock pads because my ears were too big and I'd feel discomfort because of lack of pad thickness. The new pads had to be REALLY stretched to fit onto the cup. The new pads are thicker and hold that shape well because of the memory foam. The new pads are soft and comfortable, but now the clamping force of the headphones feels like it has increased quite a bit.

I loved the sound of my SR850 headphones (#Dankpods) right out of the box, but they felt a little clamp-ish on my big ol' head and I needed to take frequent breaks. I added the hybrid PU/Velour version of these replacement ear pads and now they feel as great as they sound - no more head fatigue.Minor Cons - The pads were a little fiddly to install, but once on they seem quite solid. And it feels a little odd to spend half the price of the original headphones just for some new ear pads, but as mentioned above I can now get a lot more use out of them. Quite pleased I got them.

The velour is comfortable enough. However, the stitching is flawed on the left side of my earpads, it is not fully sealed and I can see the blue foam inside. The quality could be improved.

These can pads are working great on my AKG headphones. They're a perfect fit and far less hot than originals. Sound is unchanged to me. That's a win win win :)
