I bought the black cooling gel version to replace original AKG K550 MkIII ear cups on which the leatherette started to disintegrate badly after 4 years of heavy use.These replacements are perfectly comfortable with the slim arms on my glasses frame. I'm already considering buying more to keep as backup for the future.The seal around my ears is better than the AKG originals, blocking out more environmental noise and emphasising the lower frequencies more. I was surprised at the difference when I listened to my headphone testing tunes; there is now proper bass on tracks where I felt it was previously lacking with the original ear cups. Obvious examples: Time Squared by Alex Plant, Get It by Run The Jewels. The many other genres of music I listen to still sound great.The new ear cups were tricky to fit, requiring some patience. Once you have managed to get one small part of the lip in place in the recess, hold onto that part very securely while you stretch the part nearest to it and allow it to slip into place, etc.

This was a really good replacement for my AKG K550 earpads. The pleather had finally started to perish after 4-5 years of use. I really like the breathable texture on them and they are a little bit more firm then the originals but I think they will keep very nicely.

I purchased a number of different things these last few days, including a new MacBook, a new mountain bike, a new midi controller and various other things, but these ear pads have been without doubt the most impressive thing I purchased. I put them on my trusty old set of akg k92 and the level of comfort is mind blowing, they even sound better. The quality is the best I have seen in ear pads, there a nice snug fit and when on they just ooze quality. I'm ordering a 2nd pair for my akg k845. Very impressed with these 👍🏻

Reasonably easy to replace old ones. They seem quite comfortable. Well padded

Took about half an hour to fit and had aching hands and fingers afterwards, however they are an impressive addition to my K550s that can be used again with no black cheeks! (If you know, you know). Very comfortable in use. Highly recommended.

I was a bit reluctant to purchase these at first because I thought they might be poor quality but I have been pleasantly impressed by their build quality. I like the soft touch material on them, it makes them more comfortable to wear and the thicker foam cups your ear better. It also increases the pressure on the grip around your ear which I find is better than the original. Fitting the ear cups was easy, there is a small cut out in the rim of the headphones that you can feed the ear cup band at the rear of the ear cup into the cut out and then rotate the ear cup to feed the band onto the rim of the headphones to secure them in place. Would I buy them again? Yes I would and I would recommend them to anyone who needs to replace damaged headphone ear cups.

All good

I wasn't aware that you could replace the earpads on headphones until I saw these on Amazon. They are an excellent replacement for my tatty old earpads and far more comfortable. A little tight to fit but worth the effort.
