Ear Cushions Replacement for AirPods Max Headphones,Mesh Fabric Covered Earpads with Memory Foam and Magnet (Space Gray)

It fits snuggled and comfortable especially for the price it’s a good replacement or backup. It’s the not the greatest quality but it’ll do the the price for sure

Bought these based on reviews here on Amazon as well as recommendations from around the internet. They are half the price of the OEM cup replacements but do not provide the same soundstage as the originals (even my worn out set). The passthrough/transparency mode does not work as well as with OEM. They are a smaller fit than the originals and sit on TOP of my ears, as opposed to fitting over them. This is the biggest point of my frustration. The images advertise them to be of similar shape as the originals, but as soon as I opened the box there was a very drastic difference between the two. These are more square, and are incredibly squishy, which in and of itself is not inherently bad- just isn’t what I wanted from this product. I will look into returning as I am very unsatisfied with this. I say save your money and shell out the extra $40-ish dollars for Apple branded replacements. 0/5 would not recommend.

THIRD UPDATE: I contacted the seller and explained my cleaning method. They responded saying that’s how they recommend cleaning then and then told me to have a nice day. No offer to fix them or replace them. This means they know they’re going to fall apart but don’t care. Here’s their response “ The black substance you mentioned that fell off should be dye, as pure sheepskin is not originally black in color. In the second picture, the glue on the product has already come off. However, please be cautious with the cleaning method next time. Simply use a wet tissue to gently wipe the surface, and then use a dry tissue to absorb any moisture. Additionally, avoid exposing the sheepskin ear cups to direct sunlight. Thank you!” SECOND UPDATE: these ear cups are garbage. Went to wash them for the first time (cold water and soap since adhesives usually don’t like hot/warm water and the manufacture doesn’t have cleaning instructions 🙄) and they completely fell apart. I’m going to reach out to them about it but I would be shocked if they aren’t going to claim some reason for not exchanging. DO NOT BUY THESE. UPDATED REVIEW: Earrock sent me a message after I posted my review and offered a full refund, no strings attached. I accepted the refund and they sent confirmation over. Then they asked if I would like to try a different style sent to me at their expense. I accepted that as well and they arrived a couple days later. I have to say, these are actually pretty decent replacement cups. I opted for the black lambskin and they have a stiffer and more dense foam that helps keep noise out (and in) while still being comfortable. They have a kind of leathery feel while you wear them, so if that’s not your thing these aren’t for you. But if you need to replace your cups and don’t want to pay Apple’s ridiculous prices, these aren’t a bad option. Thank you to Earrock for reaching out and fixing this without me having to contact anyone or jump through hoops. If you’re on the fence about buying, just do it and their customer service will sort it out for you if you’re not satisfied. It’s actually pretty refreshing. Original Review: Just like all the other reviewers, the cups I ordered (black mesh) sound absolutely horrible. It’s like a high pitched crinkle noise with every movement while I’m wearing them. There’s also really bad sound leaking in, even in noise cancelation mode. They feel substantially lighter than the OEM cups and I suspect that’s why there’s so much noise coming through. At least they’re soft though 🤷🏻‍♂️ I wouldn’t buy them again nor recommend that other people buy them. I’m going to return them and just get the Apple replacements for double the price. Ugh.

These pads are great. I use my headphones to work out and the apple pads got so stinky and held odor. I was washing them every 3 days. I switched to theses pads and they never smell like sweat , ive been using them everyday for the last few weeks and NO ODOR! I also love that these are half the price of apples replacement pads!

to state the obvious: NOT THE SAME QUALITY AS APPLE. particularly noticeable in the foam, which is a bit stiffer, makes noise on compression and during friction of regular headphone movement. Mesh material is not as taught, potential to cause minor obstructions to sound.

These are very similar to the original ones

Updating my review now that I've tested all three versions (and picked one): There are three variants of this product: 1 Mesh Fabric (sort of like the stock cushions) 2 Protein Leather (leatherette feel, mesh look) <- BEST 3 Protein Leather & Silica Gel (leatherette, more firm, waterproof) Option 1 (rejected): Mesh Fabric * Finer weave than the Apple stock cushions * Less firm than Apple stock * Has as much or more microphonics (squeaks, noises when you move your head) as stock * Noise cancelling: about the same or slightly less than stock Option 2 (picked): Protein Leather * Leatherette feel with a mesh look * FEWER microphonics than with stock! * Noice cancelling as good as stock IMO * Warmer than stock on head, but so far not uncomfortably so Option 3 (rejected): Protein Leather & Inner Silica Gel * Leatherette feel with a mesh look * Much firmer feeling than stock, poorer seal on head as a result * Noise cancelling not as good as stock (bad seal?) * Warmer on head, but not terrible * Waterproof! Good! But not good enough to take the hit on noise cancellation for me. If you really need waterproof, though, these aren't terrible
