Adhiper XM4 Replacement Ear Pads for Sony WH-1000XM4 (WH1000XM4) Noise Canceling Headphones, Upgraded Cooling Gel Earpads Cushions with Noise Isolation Memory Foam & Softer Protein Leather (Black)

After 3 years of solid wear of my MX4 the ears pads were looking gross. Very easy to install- simply use the enclosed tool to click out the old and then pop the new ones into place. Press firmly until you hear a click and they are done. Immediately I could tell there was a better seal around my ears as the noise cancelling went up a notch. The pads do have a cooling effect which will be nice when I wear them all day at work.

Das ANC wird um einiges schlechter und auch die Audio-Qualität leidet.

They are not comfortable at all if you compare them to the original. They actually hurt my ears after long period of time. They are just not for me.

I got these for my XM4 headphones after my puppy chewed up the pad and inner foam of one side. I’d been thinking of cooling gel pads for a while, and the inclusion of new pairs of the inner foam helped seal the deal. They fit to spec and feel great, but they are thicker and a boxier shape than the original Sony pads, so do expect that it will make the headset appear a bit bulkier visually, but not in a way that negatively impacts comfort. The sound is fantastic, as usual, which is to say these pads don’t have any negative impacts on the sound. If you need a set of pads, or are looking for something a little more comfy, these are a good choice.

Product was easy to install to the headset and also had a tool to help with the installation process.
