Earpads for Sony WH-1000XM3 - Black

I don’t review things often, but this was a great replacement for my original xm3 ear cushions. Installation was easy and it was extremely reasonably priced. I found the fit to be identical and it is highly comfortable (felt very close to the original). Others have complained about it being harder/firmer than the original but I don’t find that to be true. In terms of noise cancelling, I felt a noticeable improvement with the new ear pads. Sound quality hasn’t been impacted at all. 5/5!

Let’s clear the air of users reporting the replacements pads being hard/generate heat/not as comfortable as originals etc. Also the cost difference between originals and the replacements being huge. The difference, both in cost & feel is due to the type of leather chosen. Artificial leather is low cost, environmental friendly but feel will not be same as real leather. Real high quality animal leather will cost more, be cruel & provide excellent feel due to it being breathable and very soft. However there is no difference in the sound experience as both the type of pads, perform exactly the same. Sound insulation is superb and ANC works like a charm. Headphones sound as good as new. Due to the listed factors, choosing artificial leather is a VFM option by considerable margin & makes sense. That is what most customers have gone for and happy about it. If you need the same feel & fit/finish as the originals, lambskin pads are the closest you can get for almost double the cost of the artificial leather. Cow/buffalo leather costs double the lamb & hence the Sony pricing of the originals + their premium for providing you with the replacement service. The options available are basis the skin-feel of the pads & not the actual end performance. Choose as per your needs, budget & expectations.

Good product. Soft cushion. Comfortable to wear for long time.

Good quality and perfect fit to headphone. Worth for money

Easy to follow instructions for replacing earpads. The quality is good and doesn’t not negatively impact the ANC. Definitely worth getting these if your old earpads have warm out with their coating peeling off.

They are a decent replacement. Not authentic obviously, but close enough that I couldn’t tell any worsening of sound quality. They aren’t exactly value for money but compared to original, yes. They were compatible with my XM3

First feel- nice and comfortable Ease of application - quite easy, the manual is easy to understand Value for money - super Received mine today and after changing the original old worn off pads on my WH1000Xm3, I am blown away by the quality of sound that has improved. Cant comment on durability as received the pads only today. If someone has a WH1000xm3 since a long time and the ear pads have worn off, I highly recommend this. Sparing some ₹800 will bring the headphones back to life and in a big way!

I had owned my xm3 for over 3 yrs now and i had felt the anc get worse over the years and thought that headphones were reaching end of their life, posted about it on reddit and some people recommended to try changing ear pads looking at how worn out they were, so i ordered these as a final chance for them. And i got to say these restored them to their formal glory and I'd say a bit better than the factory ear cushions.

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.

Eski kulaklığım dökülmelere başlamıştı, yeni gibi oldu.

Excelente compra , súper fácil de instalar y mis audífonos están como nuevos

Works great

Generally, it's a great purchase. I've been using it for a few days. I don't feel that it's as soft as the original pads, but it's soft enough that it doesn't hurt my ear. Also, I noticed that the noise-cancelling improved. I feel that, over time, my original pads degraded and softened too much, and that lessened the noise-cancelling (NC) capabilities. I can hear the NC difference between the worn one and this new pad. It was easy to install, and it came with a tool to help you remove the old pads too. Before installing, I would suggest to sanitize the earpads before using because my outer ear itched a bit at first. I also love the design. The gold touches added more personality to a rather boring black look. :)
