Audio-Technica HP-EP Replacement Earpads for M-Series Headphones,Black

Better than stock I would say.

These are the original replacements. Getting any other replacement pads can ruin the sound

Rather than replace a set of otherwise perfect studio headphones we decided to try these replacement pads. They are for my daughter’s studio and she loves them! Very comfortable, and she said they also block outside noise better than before! A little tricky to put them on, but once I figured the first one out, the other one went one a bit easier. Excellent buy!

Im so happy I found these! A bit tricky to put on, just go slow.

Easy to install. I get about 1 year of wear out of these DJing 40 times a year.

Past goed op mijn mx50 koptelefoon. Zit erg comfortabel.

My ATH M50x headphones are 5 years old, and the pads were deteriorating to the point of leaving black flecks on my face so I sprung for these. Everything looks legit and Im pretty sure theyre really OEM. Theyre comfy, the leather is soft, and the pads are as firm as I remember them being the day I bought these. My cans even sound better with the new pads. They check all the boxes but....

If you have a pair of ATH-M50xs you already know. The OEM muffs and headband are TRASH! Totally off topic, but Audio Technica should be sued or something. Its crazy that they have not revised their product, or at least offer a premium upgrade with better quality materials.

The cloth material on the ear pads of my audio technica headphones started to wear away after some time, and I was hesitant on buying these replacements because I thought it was going to be a hassle. Nope, watched a YouTube video of someone replacing them on the same pair of headphones, and did the replacement myself within a minute. I honestly should have bought these sooner, Im not entirely sure what kind of material they use on the outside of the ear pads, but its extremely soft to the touch, I purposely pull my hair back so that my headphones rest on my skin to feel that smooth, soft material. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get new ear pads!

Nothing leads me to believe that these are anything other than the same as the original pads that your headphones came with. Great replacement after heat from poor storage left my previous ones all messed up. Enjoy the great sound!
