Type of review

Perfect fit on Audio Technica's ATH-AD900 headphones. Much better than the overly soft original pads. The imitation leather muddied up the midrange a barely noticeable amount, but in exchange brought some bass that the AD900's were desperately lacking. Overall I would highly recommend these or the hybrids for the AD series headphones to bring in the much needed bass.

Pros
  • Comfortable, fit on the headphones great but a bit pricey
Cons
  • The pleather might peel off after some use, making it look unattractive

Perfect fit for the AKG K612

The original Brainwavz Round was a little too small for my AKG K612 but these XL is a perfect fit.SOUND CHANGE:Bass get a good bump and the highs are no longer sibilant.I like the sound with these earpad, it work better with more music genre like hiphop, rock, edm, etc.CONS:It makes your ears sweaty.Soundstage and details does take a little bit of a hit, but not much.There's also a little reverb in the sound.

Pros
  • Great upgrade from the stock ear pieces.
Cons
  • The pleather might crack easily with use

Fits a Samson SR850

You have to manhandle these things to get them on, but once they are on they don’t move. Tons of room and they don’t wobble or cause discomfort. Definitely recommend to anyone with a large head(like watermelon heads) these will fit you.

Pros
  • Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads are designed to stay securely in place, ensuring that they won't fall off or move around while you're wearing them
Cons
  • They might not fit snugly on your ears

Fits AKG K553 good for me

Pads are the same size as the stock K553 pads but sit further from the ears since the foam is firmer.Edit: The pleather started peeling after 1 year of use.

Pros
  • Exactly what I needed to replace my worn pads on my JVC HA-RX700 Headphones...Perfect
Cons
  • The earpads might slip off your headphones

Really comfy pads good for me

These things are like wearing a pair of pillows on your head, super comfortable! Got them for the Monoprice Retro's. They are little warm during the summer, but otherwise they make listening to hours of music or long gaming sessions an even better experience.

Pros
  • Replace your worn-out earpads with these high-quality ones for a like-new listening experience
Cons
  • They might not be as durable as advertised

Bought these to replace the pads on my Monoprice Retro Headphones. Wow. Super comfortable and seems to have enhanced the soundstage and bass a bit. These pads took an already fun headphone and made it into one that I can't put down. If you have the Monoprice Retro Headphones, just get these. You won't regret it.

Pros
  • Comfortable and fits many round cup designed headphones.
Cons
  • They might be too thick, causing a tight fit

Falling apart on my review.

The material is deteriorating after 1 1/2 years. 1 star instead of 2 because of the overwhelming positive reviews. Comfortable, but not built to last.

Pros
  • These earpads provide extra padding to help reduce ambient noise, making them perfect for use in noisy environments
Cons
  • They might make your ears feel hot or sweaty

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More comfortable too. They get a little warm after a .

I put these on my monoprice modern retro headphones. The difference is huge. Soundstage is up about 20% and the bass is so much deeper. Really worth it. More comfortable too. They get a little warm after a while, but don't worry about that. They look good too.

Pros
  • Earpads
Cons
  • Might not prevent sound leakage

amazing quality and extremely soft. was a bit difficult since I've never swapped ear pads before but Im glad I made this purchase.

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • They might take a while to wear in

Great Replacements - my new review

The Brainwavz Round XL pads are great replacements for the good but somewhat thin stock Audio Technica ATH A990Z pads. No change in sound quality to my ears even though the Brainwavz are a bit thicker than the stock ones. These protein leather pads also seem a bit lighter than the Brainwavz Round XL Sheepskin pads. Both are excellent replacements and work for me!

Pros
  • Enjoy the ultimate listening experience with Brainwavz XL Large Replacement Memory Foam Earpads, the perfect choice for audiophiles and music lovers alike
Cons
  • They might be less comfortable than the original earpads

Works on Beyer dynamic 1770

Worked great. Made my DT 1770 a bit more comfortable. Note that to make them work on this model, you'll need to cut about 1/8 off to enlarge the diameter of the opening. They will also absorb sweat more than the standard pads, so you should wipe them off with soap every couple of weeks.

Pros
  • The black pleather material is both stylish and durable, making it the perfect choice for anyone who wants to look and feel their best
Cons
  • They might cause the headphones to slip off your head when moving around

Fits akg k550. No more ear pain

Fits very nicely onto my akg k550! Makes my headset feel new again and the pads are thick enough that my ears aren't touching the speakers so I can were them for long periods of time comfortably. Like many other reviews state this did boost the base on my headset a bit.

Pros
  • The design of these earpads is stylish and modern, making them perfect for anyone who wants to look and feel their best while listening to music
Cons
  • They might not be as comfortable for people with piercings

Excellent replacement for worn-out pads

I put these on a pair of ATH-ADG1X.The Pros: Very comfortable. The material is a lot better than the default velour in my opinion, and the cushioning/foam is thick and holds up after long periods of gaming.The Meh: They're slightly too big for the ATH-ADG1X in my opinion, though they still fit. I've had them slip off a couple of times. This is my fault most likely as I probably didn't measure correctly. But like I said they do fit. Also, I wondered whether to put this in the cons or not but…

Pros
  • Better quality than most stock earpads found on high end headphones
Cons
  • They might not match other headphone accessories

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well constructed, very comfortable, easy to install.

Required mod for the Monoprice Retro headphones. And yes, they do cost as much as the headphones, but the combo is well worth the total cost.

Pros
  • The black pleather material is stylish and modern, making these earpads a great choice for anyone who wants to look their best
Cons
  • They might cause the headphones to feel unbalanced

I wanted larger, more comfortable ear pads for my AKG K275 earphones as I also wear in-ear hearing aids. These XL Brainwavz pads did it nicely; greatly increased comfort while retaining the phones' good sound. Not any better O/S sound cancelling than the original pads, but that's okay with me.NOTE: For my other AKG 240K Studio phones tho the regular sized Brainwavz pads did not fit. The edge mounting lips were a different style and the pads themselves were too small, with the inner openings…

Pros
  • The headband padding on these earpads is soft and comfortable, so you won't experience any discomfort or pressure points
Cons
  • They might not be as comfortable for people with long hair

Cheap quality material.

It was nice while it lasted but the material grabs oil and gets destroyed. It's all peeling and was not worth the buy. Comfy..

Pros
  • Comfy.
Cons
  • They might be difficult to clean
