Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Soft, breathable, yet still retains a good seal to keep bass levels nice a solid. They also make my ears a lot hotter, and i sweat much more in them.

Compared to velour, the alcantara pads from the 1540 are a dream. Used these to replace the stock velour pads on a pair of fidelio x2s. Highly recommend these pads as replacements for the sony mdr-ma900.

These have a firmer memory foam padding inside that keeps them on my head better. Fantastic pads, exceptionally soft and improved the soundstage of my t50rp's.

Quality


Soft breathable yet still retains a good seal to keep bass levels nice a solid


Great comfort better than the velour pads


I would say these have made me very happy with my choice to switch after my dt770s took a crap and died theyve lasted over 8 years of abuse


They narrow the soundstage on the sony mdrma900s warm up the sound too much vs

Price


Four stars instead of five because 40 seems like a high price for a couple pieces of memory foam but it was worth it


Its more expensive but its definitely worth it made t50rp mk3 now my favorite headphone so far in my collection


They are under half the price of the 34 beyerdynamic dt990 pads too httpswww


For the price is worth the money

Competitiveness


Compared to velour the alcantara pads from the 1540 are a dream


Used these to replace the stock velour pads on a pair of fidelio x2s


I wont take sides on whether the sound got better or worse there are better reviewers already offering experienced opinions online


Didnt sound better than other pads ive tried on t50rp
