Review: Worth it - much better sound AKG K702 - Originally I bought these for my Monoprice Modern Retro Headphones, but decided to try them on my AKG K702's. Glad I did. The 702s original ear cushions are comfy, but I wanted to see if these would tweak the sound (they do). First, as far as comfortable - even more so than the originals. Like soft light pillows on your ears. They are big enough for sure. They go on easy. At first, I didn't understand how they attach since the old ones were clipped on (these have no clips). On the inside / back of the ear cushion, the extra pleather material is long enough to stretch the material around the OUTER EDGE / outer ring of the headphone ear cups (cans). So you don't have to clip anything. It's super easy (that's why I was dumbfounded at first). You still have to be patient when you stretch the material around the outside of the cans. For me, it was easier to start on the top of the can and work around the sides towards the bottom. If it seems like there won't be enough material to stretch all the way around - I wouldn't worry...just be patient and take it easy, pulling and stretching it around - it will fit. This should fit just about any of the large round headphones cans (not just AKG). I will get another set to put on my Monoprice set that I originally bought them for. Now - as for sound - I personally think it's a big improvement. Out of box, my main complaint (along with the majority of k702 owners) was it didn't have enough bass. I know these aren't supposed to blast bass like a pair of Skullcandy Crushers, but it's definitely much leaner on bass than most high resolution open back reference headphones...which are by design going to be light on bass. I found myself cranking up the bass way high just to get them to be usable for music. Some say they aren't capable of playing music at an enjoyable tone whatsoever (I always disagreed with that ...but you definitely have to strongly EQ them). With all that said - these BrainWavz XL ear cushions change the sonic values. Bass does get directed towards your ears instead of all leaking out. They're still not bass cannons, but they are absolutely better with low end response. This makes music more enjoyable. I still add a little extra bass (unless I have the Loudness button on) when using them - usually through my amp(s)...but I don't have to crank it way up. Definitely an improvement. Some people may not need to change the bass tone at all, depending on whether you're into bass or not. Again, it's not a huge massive change, but it's absolutely noticeable and absolutely worth it to change out the original pads for these. I do notice a little more isolation in sound (not talking about sound leakage outward, that's probably about the same. I mean when listening with them on) It still maintains an open air feeling, but it's a tad more closed off (not closed off enough to make me upset...still sounds like a pair of open back headphones) --- these are extremely open and wide by default, so losing a little bit of width is still an open and wide feeling. The soundstage is still big and fairly wide, but it's not quite as wide. Matter of fact, considering the extreme width of the soundstage by default, it is almost better (I'm on the fence with this part, not disappointed... indifferent would be a better way to describe my feelings on the slight soundstage change) - maybe kinda sorta - usually, I do like the extra extra wide soundstage they have by default, but it's almost too much sometimes. These cushions do close it in a little. Which is better in some ways. Again - I'm kinda on the fence regarding this aspect. You just have to hear it for yourself. Everyone has different opinions on what type of soundstage sounds better (as with all audio aspects). Don't misunderstand me - they don't make the soundstage small or narrow or limited - they just wrangle it in a bit...not in a bad way. Anyway, these BrainWavz cushions leave most of the soundstage, but do taper it some (which is arguably better). Since the cushions are solid and don't leak like the velor, it does make a difference as to where exactly your ear placement is within the large interior cavity. I have medium sized ears - lots of space. Big eared people may not have quite as much room to move around, but there still should be plenty of room for comfort - even radar dishes! Those with average sized ears will have a ton of extra room inside the ear cushions - almost swimming around in there lol. ***There is a "sweet spot" to have your ears positioned within the coushins. If the headphones are more forward on my head, where my ears on towards the back of the interior cavity, you have less treble / high end frequency sound, with a more closed off sound. If your headphones are positioned a little further back on your head, where your ears are toward the front of the interior cavity space (or close to center depending on ear and head shape / size), you will line up better with the actual driver (speaker) in the center of the can / ear cup --- and the treble/ high end response is much better, while also giving you a more open sound. *** So ear placement within the interior space of ear coushin DOES MATTER. Before the cushion/ pad swap, it didn't matter as much (there was always a slight difference in sound depending on ear placement, but not as much bc the velor pads leak.) Bottom line - it's worth it to buy these. You will get better low end response, and the sound is a little more contained, while still giving you a nice soundstage and openness. Comfort is definitely improved. Easy to install. Lots of room for your ears. P *** Pay attention to headphone placement / ear placement within the interior of ear coushin & cup for best sound response. Review: Better Than the Originals for Me - To be specific: the Brainwavz Round XL Memory Foam Earpads perfectly fit the AKG-K55x series headphones. Their 110mm diameter exactly matches the 110mm diameter of the AKG-K55x series earpad mount. Indeed, just like the AKG pads they are a loose enough to freely rotate during use and cleaning. I chose the Sheepskin Leather version because something in the oils of my skin seems to devour "pleather," and I did not want "velour" because it is difficult to clean. In terms of comfort, I much prefer these to the original AKG pads. It is difficult to put in words the comfort difference. Right from the package they are clearly more "substantial." In service the memory foam and leather combination is a bit firmer than the AKG pads, yet they were still plenty supple to conform comfortably to my head in a gentle way. With the AKG pads I sometimes felt like the memory foam had compressed completely, and that my ears were just barely touching the backing-mesh. With these, I feel like the headphones are better and more comfortably supported around my ear, and that my ear has a bit more space between it and the backing-mesh as well as between it and the inner edge of the earpad. They also seem cooler and dryer; perhaps the "additional space" and the leather allow for a cooler and dryer environment? These differences also affect the sound, as other reviewers have noted. What I experienced was a slight attenuation of the bass, most likely due to my ear being a bit more distant from the driver; yet a slight increase in my experience of spaciousness, perhaps due to the "additional space" that these earpads provide. In large part I purchased the AKG-K550s for their sound -- warm and articulate, with extended bass. I did a lot of early-on experimentation with equalization, but returned to "flat" input to the AKGs to enjoy their designed sound. With the Sheepskin Leather Brainwavz Round XL Memory Foam Earpads, I chose to create and apply a very slightly increasing equalization curve below A-440 to compensate for the bass loss from these earpads: +1dB at 240Hz, +2dB at 135Hz, and +4dB at 76Hz. (10dB is considered to about double the volume psycho-acoustically. I was originally too assertive with my adjustment, and backed down to what I just shared.) What resulted for me was very close to the original listening experience with a bit more spaciousness -- BETTER for me. A note on installation... There is a very good video on YouTube about replacing the earpads on the AKG-K550s. During the installation of the second pad, the presenter mentions a "notch" that was "undoing" his work. Although he warns the installer of this inconvenience, I figured that I could use it to ease installation; I thought, "If it can undo what he is doing, it can help me do the installation." The material that mounts the Brainwavz is a bit thicker and wider than the original earpads. Using the "notch" to feed the mount behind the plate made installation trivial. In the YouTube video the presenter uses fast-forward during his mounting process; making the notch to work for me, I had the whole thing done real-time quicker than his fast-forward. Having similarly struggled before, like in the video, with replacing the earpads on my Senns, I was super grateful to AKG for providing that little notch. ## Features - Replacement earpads made with made with high quality memory foam. - Comfortable and fits many round cup designed headphones. - Designed for comfort and style, these will add value to your headphones and probablu even look better than the stock earpads your headphones originally came with. - Durable and long lasting, quality made ear pad, hand made and meticulously checked before being packed. - Better quality than most stock earpads found on high end headphones ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076SGPZ2D | | Best Sellers Rank | #30,742 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #1,002 in Headphone Earpads | | Brand | BRAINWAVZ | | Color | Black Pleather | | Compatible Devices | Headphones | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,320 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Memory Foam | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04895204900340 | | Item Dimensions | 4.33 x 1.18 x 4.33 inches | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 4.33 x 1.18 x 4.33 inches | | Manufacturer | Brainwavz | | Material | Memory Foam | | Mfr Part Number | BWAVZ-EPAD-ROUND | | Model Number | BWAVZ-EPAD-ROUND | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BRAINWAVZ - **Color:** Black Pleather - **Compatible Devices:** Headphones - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 4.33 x 1.18 x 4.33 inches - **Material:** Faux Leather, Memory Foam ## Images ![Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads - Suitable for Many Other Large Over The Ear Headphones - Sennheiser, AKG, HifiMan, ATH, Philips, Fostex, Sony (Black Pleather) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91emL3VXz5L.jpg) ![Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads - Suitable for Many Other Large Over The Ear Headphones - Sennheiser, AKG, HifiMan, ATH, Philips, Fostex, Sony (Black Pleather) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810pXNOdZvL.jpg) ![Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads - Suitable for Many Other Large Over The Ear Headphones - Sennheiser, AKG, HifiMan, ATH, Philips, Fostex, Sony (Black Pleather) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Coiw9eeKL.jpg) ![Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads - Suitable for Many Other Large Over The Ear Headphones - Sennheiser, AKG, HifiMan, ATH, Philips, Fostex, Sony (Black Pleather) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810N43UHBOL.jpg) ![Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads - Suitable for Many Other Large Over The Ear Headphones - Sennheiser, AKG, HifiMan, ATH, Philips, Fostex, Sony (Black Pleather) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819nX7JIbnL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it - much better sound AKG K702 *by G***E on December 16, 2024* Originally I bought these for my Monoprice Modern Retro Headphones, but decided to try them on my AKG K702's.

I purchased these pads on Amazon and did not receive anything from either Brainwavz or Amazon in terms of compensation in the form of money, product, or otherwise for this review. I've had my ATH-A900s for several years now and didn't realize how poorly the factory pads had aged and broken down. Anyone who has tried Audio Technica cans like these knows that they are some of the comfiest headphones that you can treat your head and ears to...not to mention great sound! But after I noticed how bad the stock pleather pads were looking, I started searching for replacements. It came down to Brainwavz, $6 pads from another brand on here, or similarly-cheap ones shipped from China on that big auction site. The other ones might work OK but I noticed other reviewers verifying that these did fit the ATH-A/AD900 and in the end I felt that a nice pair of headphones deserves a nice set of pads. To me, the Brainwavz pads looked thicker and better constructed. Are they +$20 better? No clue, but I have no regrets and no doubt that these will last a long time. I went back and forth on the velour vs. pleather vs hybrid. As some of you know, the closed A models in this series from Audio Technica came with pleather pads and the open AD models came with velour/velveteen pads. I never found that my ears got hot with the pleather ones as some do, but as they break down they can get pretty scratchy due to the "rough" edges of the material being exposed and while the pleather Brainwavz pads might very well use more robust materials and not break down for a very very long time (they do look to be well constructed), I didn't want to worry about possible issues with appearance or comfort in the future so I went with the velour pads. Plus, I just like the feel of them. My Beyer DT-700 PRO headphones have velvet/velour pads and while not as cushy and soft as these, I've always enjoyed the feel of them against my head and around my ears. New pleather pads might form a better seal than the velour - I'm not sure, and I'm tempted to buy another set to compare just because it'd give me an excuse to buy another set of these babies. So I cannot tell you if there is any impact on sound or noise isolation, but one reviewer said that the velour Brainwavz pads offered better noise isolation than the stock AT pleather pads and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case because as you can see from my pics, the stock pads are thinner and flatter while these are thick and the memory foam is nice and dense. If it turns out that the pleather pads do provide an even better seal and isolation, but you're concerned about possible flaking after heavy use, you could go with the sheepskin leather pads but those are right at $45 at the time of this writing and that was just more than I wanted to spend on a pair of pads when I have several headphones that I rotate through depending on my mood. These are exactly what I wanted and what I was expecting based on the pics and reviews. I just checked and the pleather ones are now $16.99, so about $10 less than a few days ago when I was deciding between those and the velours. At that price, I might have to nab them just to satisfy my curiosity and have another spare set to cover my replacement needs for a LONG time! I'm giving these an overall rating of 5 stars. For the feature subcategories I am giving the following ratings: Comfort: 5/5 These are like having pillows on your ears. I do not see how they could possibly get any comfier and as far as I know, they are the comfiest set of pads available for these cans. Material quality: 4/5 No complaints here, but I haven't had them long enough to see how they'll hold up over years of use and I'm sure there is ALWAYS room for improvement in material quality...if you're willing to pay for it. These offer excellent construction at a reasonable price point. If in 5 years they still look new and I remember, I'll come back and update this to a 5/5. Sound quality: 4/5 Again, as far as I know it's a 5/5 but I do not have any of the other models of Brainwavz pads to compare them to. The headphones DO sound excellent with these pads but I'm going to assume once again that there could be room for improvement if a denser foam was chosen that let even less noise through (though comfort might then suffer as a result due to the pads being stiffer). Hey, there ain't no shame in 4/5...that's still excellent but again I have nothing to compare them to so let's call it a 4-4.5 for now! ## Frequently Bought Together - Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads - Suitable for Many Other Large Over The Ear Headphones - Sennheiser, AKG, HifiMan, ATH, Philips, Fostex, Sony (Black Pleather) - Samson SR850 Professional Semi-Open Studio Reference Monitoring Headphones --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/56668416-brainwavz-xl-large-replacement-memory-foam-earpads-suitable-for-many](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/56668416-brainwavz-xl-large-replacement-memory-foam-earpads-suitable-for-many) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
