WC Wicked Cushions PadZ - Thick & Soft Ear Pads for ATH M50X / M40X / SteelSeries Arctis/HyperX Cloud & Alpha/Logitech G Pro X/Compatible with Over 50 Headphones | Black

My Audio Technics M50x ear pads has seen better days so I decided to try these replacement pads. All I can say is: WOW! First of all, the package is just simple zip lock bag with pads in it and some cards. One of the cards said, watch this video before attempting to install the ear pads. So I did. I followed the instructions of removing and installing these pads. The process took about 5 minutes total. Just follow what the video says. The foam feels really nice and I don't seem to feel that sweat build happening on these. And the sound is way better on these pads than the original pads. It makes the M50x sound better. The audio isolation is good (if you have music playing.) It looks clean and since it is PU leather, it should not fall apart like the OEM ones that come with the headphones. All I can say is WOW. It is nice, comfortable, and makes the M50x sound better. And the price is right for the application. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend these replacement ear pads for the Audio Technics AT-M50x. I would definitely buy them again, and will look for this brand for replacing other headphone ear pads. Hope this helps.

So I have a pair of ATH M50’s the original coiled cable set. I’ve had these cans for about 10 years and they are the best headphones I’ve ever owned. Over time the headband started flaking off which i’m sure everyone who’s had these a while knows what i’m talking about, then the ear pads started getting a bit hard and weathered. At this point I needed to get new pads so I found these here for a very reasonable price. I was a bit skeptical about getting different size pads just because I didn’t want the sound quality of these headphones being lost. So I took a chance and I have to say coming from somebody who is very strict when it comes to sound quality I was actually impressed on how good and almost exact the headphones sounded after these pads were installed. The installation process was very easy just be patient and don’t force the band around or pull it. They’ll go on just fine. They feel super comfortable and almost gave me a fresh breath of air knowing I can slap another 10 years on these comfortably lol. Now here is where I get to the one specific part that I noticed immediately after playing my “Test” track lol. The construction quality is really top notch BUT as you’ll see upon opening them, there is a very soft padded mesh material inside separating the speaker from your ear. Ok great that’s how all pads should be, pretty self explanatory, no harm done very nicely stitched. THAT’S the slight issue with these pads in combination with the ATH-M50’s. As soon as I played a song, I noticed immediately the highs were a bit muffled. Basically picture the highs and a bit of the mids being blocked by that “Mesh Wall”. So what I did to experiment was I took the pads off and folded the band inside out exposing the mesh stitching around the leather. I basically cut next to the stitching on the mesh side all around leaving the speaker exposed. Tossed the mesh, folded the band back to normal, installed the pads back on the headphones and tried again. Ok for those who love the sound of their ATH-M50’s and any other headphones with this pad combination, THIS is the way to go. As soon as I started playing music again, all I can say was WOW .. The highs and mids were all back the way they sounded before. The signature sound of the headphones were not compromised and actually to top it all off, the upgraded pads with the mesh cut out gave a bit of a bass boost without losing ANY other levels!. Long story short, if you want to keep the sound you grew to love with these headphones, do this slight modification. Trust me if you’re a bit like me (OCD) lol, you won’t regret this. Overall the pads are amazing, feel super comfortable, people with big ears like myself will LOVE these lol. I’m very happy I gave this brand a chance.

This is my second pair of Wicked Cushions Ear Pads, my first pair being for Sony MDR-V6 cans (which I also reviewed). This pair was a little tougher to install, but with patience and the video instructions, well worth the effort. I bought these for a pair of ATH-M40ƒs monitors and they are a perfect fit. Being slightly "thicker" ("taller" if you think of them laying flat), they hold the earphone can a tiny bit farther from your head, which increases the comfort in my opinion, because you have a little bit more room inside for your ear. Combined with the very soft leather covers and a nicely compliant foam I experienced no fatigue after three hours of listening yesterday. As a critical listener, using a tube headphone amp, I have always reveled in the sound of these headphones and had some concern that changing the pads would change the sound. These M40ƒs phones, which sometimes sounded a bit clinical with transistor amps, have a very pleasing accuracy with my tube amp. Music with significant high frequency energy which can sound "glassy" in these phones when using a transistor amp, retains all of the glorious sizzle and squeak when played through a good tube headphone amp design. Changing the ear pads to these Wicked Cushions pads had absolutely no negative effect on that sound. Since direct A-B comparison is impossible, I can only say that I think I notice a little bit smoother lower bass, especially when the jazz bass is the featured instrument, as in Christy Baron's "Ain't No Sunshine". There's not less or more bass, just what sounds like a smoother frequency response curve. Combining the excellent customer service I received when I had a pre-purchase question, and the super quality look and feel of these ear pads, I am extremely happy with them all around. My favorite headphones are better than new! No more little black specs on my face after listening. YAY!

I bought the WC Wicked Cushions PadZ for my SteelSeries Arctis Pro Wireless, and they fit perfectly and very easily. No struggle at all getting them on. The material feels soft and comfortable, and overall they’re a nice upgrade from the stock pads. The only downside is that the pads are a bit thinner than I expected, so every now and then my ears touch the inside of the headphones. It’s not a deal-breaker, just something to be aware of. Aside from that, they’re well-made, comfortable, and definitely a worthwhile improvement.

I've been using this for the past few months for my ath-m50xbt, and overall my experience has been great. Surely, you'll loose a tiny bit of the passive noise cancellation that you'd otherwise get with the original pads, but most importantly, the sound signature is still there and it is very comfortable to wear for long hours. Heck, even more so than the original pads. All in all, given its price, this is quite a bang for your buck, would definitely recommend it!

実際は★1です、SteelSireisで使用しましたが、オリジナルのようなフィット感もなく、短時間で耳が痛くなります。 選択の余地がないから高評価なのか？ メーカーがオリジナルのパッドを販売してくれることを期待します。

Comprate per sostituire i pad originali per la mia Audio Technica M40X. Il prodotto è di buona qualità e, una volta montate (il montaggio richiede un minimo di manualità ma non è estremamente complicato), si rivelano essere molto morbide e devo dire che chiudono perfettamente attorno all' orecchio, dando un senso di comfort che con i pad originali non avevo. Oltretutto non danno quel senso di "appiccicarsi" alla testa che avevo con quelli originali, soprattutto in questo periodo così caldo, anzi sembrano molto "fresche". Le ho provate solo un paio d' ore, al momento ma mi hanno dato l' impressione che il suono sia leggermente migliorato, sembra un po' più pieno, corposo (ma per esserne sicuro dovrei testarle almeno altre 10 ore). Per il momento mi ritengo soddisfatto pienamente del prodotto.

Estas almohadillas son buenisimas. Son miy cómldas, no se calientan mucho y aislan muy bien el ruido exterior. El problema son instalarlos ya que la liga que se amarra a las bocinas no es tan ancha como.los originales perl si que se sienten que son muy elasticos por lo que al colocarlos no hay que tener preocupación de roptura. Vi un comentario diciendo que tuvo que desarmar sus Cloud Alpha para colocarlos pero no hace falta. Solo tener mucha paciencia y cuidado, comenzando desde abajo, pasando por los laterales simultaneamente hasta llegar areiba y listo, siguiendo las instrucciones. Vienen con una bolsita que viene con sellador y se ve muy agradable; no dan ganas de tirarla. Puede ser util para guardar otras cosas. Muy recomendados.
