Earpads for Sony WH-1000XM3 - Black

I bought a used set of Sony wh-1000xm3 headphones, absolutely mint condition, but thought I would get new ear pads for them as they felt a bit too soft and not as much of the "memory" left in the foam, albeit, still very usable. I decided to go with these ones as there's fairly good reviews and no major complaints about bad quality etc. My slight concerns were A. Would I break my headphones when trying to fit the pads , and B. Is sound quality and noise cancelling be compromised with these? First, the replacement is really easy. They provide instructions and a wee spatula to lever the plastic rim with the pad on it, out of its plastic fixings. Takes about 5min for first one and about 2min for other when you get a feel for it. Meant to say that they are pretty much identical to Sony's pads in quality, only a bit thicker with a slightly smaller interior where your ears will be. That made me a bit apprehensive as far as comfort and sound was concerned. So, I replaced one and put some music on to hear and feel the difference. Yes, there definitely seems to be a difference in that the new pad attenuates the highs but delivers a solid bass, but I was kind of expecting that anyway. The noise cancellation was slightly better with the new pad! After fitting the other one I reset the pressure for noise cancellation and didn't even change the EQ settings because I actually really like the sound I'm getting. It's impossible to know at this point how comfortable these will be for long periods but after half hour they feel fine. My ears still fit into the cups, just a bit more snug now. Overall, at this point I definitely recommend these if you need new pads. Quality is comparable to originals and, of course they change the sound but nothing that a small tweak with EQ can't fix if you don't like it. Good quality at a good price!

Easy to remove old ones with tool supplied and easy to fit new ones. Good quality and now my headphones look brand new again.

These are very good replacement ear pads for the XM3's. My originals were long since gone - all the leatherette was coming off and the pads had gone flat - noise cancelling had taken a big hit. Replaced with these within a couple of minutes - nice and easy with the supplied tool. As I've only just replaced them, I can't comment on longevity (though the quality looks and feels good as an initial impression), but the comfort is very much improved and the noise cancelling is an awful lot better than it was! As we can't get original pads, something like these are proving to be a very good alternative to my head and ears. If yours are as bad as mine were, I think you'll be very happy.

Great fit and easy to replace.

Easy to fit and comfortable, only time will tell on durability but happy so far

My headphones had become uncomfortable, I could feel the drivers pressing against the cartilage of my ear. Despite owning them for YEARS the pads looked in good condition but they were evidently lacking cushioning. I took a punt on new pads having done research on them. The replacements came the same day. They were easy to install using the tool included. They have breathed new life into my headphones. Comfort and noise cancellation have shown a marked improvement. I love them and they're a fraction of the cost of getting new headphones, which I had considered.

Easy to put on. Great fit, nice quality, no complaints whatsoever. Headphones look new again. Worth the money.

Comfortable fit and easy to install. Slightly diminished sound quality and noise cancellation. The biggest drawback is the durability, and the pads have not lasted even two years.

I recently replaced the earpads on my Sony headphones with the SOULWIT Professional Earpads Cushions, and I’m quite pleased with the upgrade. Installation was straightforward, and they fit snugly, enhancing both comfort and sound isolation. The materials feel premium, and the memory foam adapts well to my ears, making extended listening sessions more enjoyable. However, I did notice that the noise-canceling performance seemed slightly reduced compared to the original pads. Overall, these earpads offer great value, improving comfort and sound quality without a significant investment.

Produto de boa qualidade, bom custo- benefício, atende todas as necessidades propostas. Única observação é sobre a embalagem frágil e aberta e sem nenhuma identificação, mas isso não altera em nada a experiência.

Perfect fit, comes with a tool and instructions

イヤーパッド取り外し用のプラスチック製スティックが付いていて、簡単に取り外しができました。 はめるときに上下を間違えやすいのと、しっかり押し込まないとカチッとはまらないので、注意してください。 古いイヤーパッドは大分へたっていたので、交換して密閉度がかなり上がった感じがします。購入してよかったです。

Easy to install. Comfortable. Early days yet but seem fit for purpose.
