Review on Black Ear-Pad Cushions For Improved Comfort On Bose QuietComfort-35 (QC-35) And QuietComfort-35 II (QC-35 II) Over-Ear Headphones by Devin Henry

Materials seem softer than the OEM pads. No discernible changes in noise cancelling, maybe an improvement over the original pads. I replaced the OEM pads that were scored and punctured from three years of off/on with varying degrees of stubbly facial hair. These may actually be softer and more comfortable than the OEM. I went with grey for my black QC35s and couldn't be happier. Install was a little more difficult since the foam isn't compressed down to the space between the tabs like the pre-installed pads were. Just be patient and clip in one at a time. I take care of my things and hope to get another three years out of these pads.
