Good for AKG K371
Bought these for my AKG K371's because my ears hit the drivers with the stock pads, making them slightly uncomfortable after long sessions. Fitting: Fitting them is somewhat trickier than my last set of headphones. These are quite tight to get into the groove on the K371s since the earcups are large and the groove is pretty deep, so they have to stretch a bit to get over the lip. The trick I used based on another review was to get them in on the bottom edge and use a guitar pick to feed the edge of the pad into the groove. Getting the final part in was fairly scary since I had to pull the pad quite hard to get it in position, but these things are fairly stretchy. Just be careful with the foam backing and take it slowly. Overall it probably took 10-15 minutes. Harder than swapping the pads on my M50X but not bad. Once pushed on, these fit well and look good. Since the fit is so tight, there is very little movement. The pads can be rotated a little bit, but not without effort. They definitely are not at risk of falling out. They're a lot deeper and wider than the stock pads so the whole package doesn't look quite so sleek, but that's a tiny price to pay for the comfort. Comfort: My ears no longer touch the drivers so I am happy. They're very soft and very large. If you also have issues with the depth of the stock pads these may help you too. I've worn them for about 6 hours in one sitting with no discomfort. Audio: I have not noticed any massive difference. I don't think I would be able to tell them apart unless I had two sets side by side to try simultaneously. The headphones still sound fantastic with these pads. Your mileage may vary if you're more experienced or sensitive to this sort of thing. The K371s are highly dependent on a good seal. With these, I found it slightly improved. I didn't have major problems with the stock pads in the first place, but found they lost seal if I yawned or turned my head at certain angles. These don't have that issue at all. The increased depth of these gives them a slightly wider soundstage so that's another plus. Conclusion: Overall, these work nicely on the K371. Sound quality is still great, and comfort is massively improved.

A useful up-grade on the orignal ear-pads, with improoved comfort!
Boiught as a replacement for the original earpads, which had started to disintegrate after only two years, I was attracted to these ear-pads based on their "quality" appearance and positive reviews. On receiving the earpads, they do indeed appear to be well made, and give confidence that they will last considerably longer than the originals! They fit somewhat differently to the originals, with the back of the earpad going right over the edges of the cans, not just sitting in a groove, as the originals do - however, they fit well and do not look out of place. These earpads are MUCH more comforable than the originals, being better padded, and are slightly larger meaning that the ear is completely enveloped, so that my ear-lobes did not get squashed, as they did on the originals! Sound-qualty is excellent, but they do sound slightly different to the originals. Having thicker padding means that they make the headphones slightly quieter (as the speaker is a few mm further away from yout ears) The sound is clearer, and more open sounding. I swapped back to the originals a few times for comparison purposes, and overall, I prefer the sound with the Brainwavs!

TLDR: good=comfort, bad=changes sound.
I got these to go on my Sony MDR-7506 headphones—apparently these use the same fit as the older MDR-V6, an important detail for those trying to figure out compatibility as I was. These are indeed super comfortable pads, and fit my larger ears well. The stock pads tended to push on the tops and bottoms of my ears (unless I "tucked" my ears into the pads) and hence became painful after a few hours of listening—forcing me to rest/wait for a few minutes. These new pads have a slightly larger internal diameter and are hence much more comfortable for me. The trade off for that comfort is a change in the sound. As noted in other reviews, the greater space within the cup means that you won't hear as much of the mids or lows which is very annoying as these are otherwise wonderfully comfortable pads. There appear to be at least two ways of mounting these pads onto the 7506's, and different methods appear to alter the sound. They are designed to be mounted onto a headphone with a slightly smaller circumference than the 7506 has, which makes mounting them similar to the stock pads difficult. However, with some fancy fingerwork it's possible to force them into the channel (as you can see in the picture with them "open"). I'd not recommend this as it leaves even more space for the speaker to fill and hence this reducing the mids/lows unnecessarily. Instead, I'd recommend mounting them with their "skirt" pulled as far over the cans as possible as this helps with the aforementioned mid/lows problem (as shown in the picture with them ready for storage). This makes me worried about the little cable going between ears but importantly does seem to improve sound a bit, at the cost of not looking so "pretty".

Gekocht om de stock pads van mijn hyperx cloud alpha te vervangen en het is vele malen beter. Lekker zacht en comfortabel.

They fit snug on my HyperX Cloud II and are extremely soft and comfortable. Much better than the stock leather pads.

got these pads to replace my worn out original ATH MSR7 by Audiotechnica. they look and FEEL way much better since they're a bit bigger and goes completely over your ear. there is a tiny bass loss since it becomes more air space for sound to flow through, but since I'm using a portable amp there's little to no difference at all. most of ppl wont even notice that I'm sure. and COMFORT for everyday user is EVERYTHING. five stars on this baby!

Cercavo dei cuscinetti di qualità superiore e, soprattutto, che si adattassero alla mia vecchia cuffia TDK ST-450 i cui padiglioni originali si erano letteralmente sbriciolati. La difficoltà consisteva nel fatto che le dimensioni degli auricolari TDK sono molto grandi, praticamente quasi mezzo centimetro in più sia in larghezza che altezza rispetto alle dimensioni di questi cuscinetti Brainwavz. Ed, infatti, ho dovuto faticare molto per farli aderire agli auricolari. Ad un certo punto, forzandoli, ho temuto di romperli. Tuttavia, alla fine ci sono riuscito e, sorprendentemente, calzano perfettamente e senza problemi, come si può vedere anche dalle foto. I cuscinetti sono molto morbidi e comodi. Inoltre, la qualità del suono mi sembra invariata. Ne consiglio sicuramente l'acquisto.
