Review on ๐ŸŽง Black Perforated Brainwavz Replacement Earpads with Memory Foam for Sony MDR 7506, V6 & CD900ST and Other On-Ear Headphones by Richard Jarvis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great sound, great feel, great but not great setup experience.

Quick review - they've been around for a few months now and they sound and look GREAT. Improved sound? Maybe a little more bass (maybe), but I haven't really A/B compared them - all I can say is that they sound great, like all Sony V6s they've been used on. The only reason I'm going to say this is because about 5 months ago I replaced another pair of headphones (V6) with another brand of earpads (I honestly can't remember which one, but it was one of the most popular .). Can't comment on the quality as it was made for a friend, but took about 5 minutes to install and worked great. Installing on this one isn't that much. I will explain. In a different setup with a different product, the additional material smoothly penetrated the Sony-designed cups. There is so much excess material on it that at first I thought I was dealing with defective goods. I then started pushing stuff into space and eventually it calmed down (someone here said to use a credit card - wish I saw that). So once it's in, it kind of settles down and you never think about it. again - but I don't like all that extra stuff and it doesn't feel seamless - I imagine some people would just pull the pads all the way over the headphones, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. (I didn't see anything like that in any of the photos.) Pads overall, comfort quality, sound - 4/5 stars in a circle. Feels better than the original w. memory foam - maybe warmer on the ears, but now I'm getting to the grass. If you had these headphones with the ear pads you would never doubt it and you would love it - and I can see that you love them more than the original ear pads. But the setup and the extra material is something they should really strive for in the future. and I'm very surprised I haven't heard more about it, unless it was a quality control issue and mine were just too big - but I've read some here mentioning it so I don't know. I'll tell you with all the extra stuff that ended up in the right place and I've loved them ever since.
