Worth it - much better sound AKG K702
Originally I bought these for my Monoprice Modern Retro Headphones, but decided to try them on my AKG K702's. Glad I did. The 702s original ear cushions are comfy, but I wanted to see if these would tweak the sound (they do). First, as far as comfortable - even more so than the originals. Like soft light pillows on your ears. They are big enough for sure. They go on easy. At first, I didn't understand how they attach since the old ones were clipped on (these have no clips). On the inside / back of the ear cushion, the extra pleather material is long enough to stretch the material around the OUTER EDGE / outer ring of the headphone ear cups (cans). So you don't have to clip anything. It's super easy (that's why I was dumbfounded at first). You still have to be patient when you stretch the material around the outside of the cans. For me, it was easier to start on the top of the can and work around the sides towards the bottom. If it seems like there won't be enough material to stretch all the way around - I wouldn't worry...just be patient and take it easy, pulling and stretching it around - it will fit. This should fit just about any of the large round headphones cans (not just AKG). I will get another set to put on my Monoprice set that I originally bought them for. Now - as for sound - I personally think it's a big improvement. Out of box, my main complaint (along with the majority of k702 owners) was it didn't have enough bass. I know these aren't supposed to blast bass like a pair of Skullcandy Crushers, but it's definitely much leaner on bass than most high resolution open back reference headphones...which are by design going to be light on bass. I found myself cranking up the bass way high just to get them to be usable for music. Some say they aren't capable of playing music at an enjoyable tone whatsoever (I always disagreed with that ...but you definitely have to strongly EQ them). With all that said - these BrainWavz XL ear cushions change the sonic values. Bass does get directed towards your ears instead of all leaking out. They're still not bass cannons, but they are absolutely better with low end response. This makes music more enjoyable. I still add a little extra bass (unless I have the Loudness button on) when using them - usually through my amp(s)...but I don't have to crank it way up. Definitely an improvement. Some people may not need to change the bass tone at all, depending on whether you're into bass or not. Again, it's not a huge massive change, but it's absolutely noticeable and absolutely worth it to change out the original pads for these. I do notice a little more isolation in sound (not talking about sound leakage outward, that's probably about the same. I mean when listening with them on) It still maintains an open air feeling, but it's a tad more closed off (not closed off enough to make me upset...still sounds like a pair of open back headphones) --- these are extremely open and wide by default, so losing a little bit of width is still an open and wide feeling. The soundstage is still big and fairly wide, but it's not quite as wide. Matter of fact, considering the extreme width of the soundstage by default, it is almost better (I'm on the fence with this part, not disappointed... indifferent would be a better way to describe my feelings on the slight soundstage change) - maybe kinda sorta - usually, I do like the extra extra wide soundstage they have by default, but it's almost too much sometimes. These cushions do close it in a little. Which is better in some ways. Again - I'm kinda on the fence regarding this aspect. You just have to hear it for yourself. Everyone has different opinions on what type of soundstage sounds better (as with all audio aspects). Don't misunderstand me - they don't make the soundstage small or narrow or limited - they just wrangle it in a bit...not in a bad way. Anyway, these BrainWavz cushions leave most of the soundstage, but do taper it some (which is arguably better). Since the cushions are solid and don't leak like the velor, it does make a difference as to where exactly your ear placement is within the large interior cavity. I have medium sized ears - lots of space. Big eared people may not have quite as much room to move around, but there still should be plenty of room for comfort - even radar dishes! Those with average sized ears will have a ton of extra room inside the ear cushions - almost swimming around in there lol. ***There is a "sweet spot" to have your ears positioned within the coushins. If the headphones are more forward on my head, where my ears on towards the back of the interior cavity, you have less treble / high end frequency sound, with a more closed off sound. If your headphones are positioned a little further back on your head, where your ears are toward the front of the interior cavity space (or close to center depending on ear and head shape / size), you will line up better with the actual driver (speaker) in the center of the can / ear cup --- and the treble/ high end response is much better, while also giving you a more open sound. *** So ear placement within the interior space of ear coushin DOES MATTER. Before the cushion/ pad swap, it didn't matter as much (there was always a slight difference in sound depending on ear placement, but not as much bc the velor pads leak.) Bottom line - it's worth it to buy these. You will get better low end response, and the sound is a little more contained, while still giving you a nice soundstage and openness. Comfort is definitely improved. Easy to install. Lots of room for your ears. P *** Pay attention to headphone placement / ear placement within the interior of ear coushin & cup for best sound response.

Better Than the Originals for Me
To be specific: the Brainwavz Round XL Memory Foam Earpads perfectly fit the AKG-K55x series headphones. Their 110mm diameter exactly matches the 110mm diameter of the AKG-K55x series earpad mount. Indeed, just like the AKG pads they are a loose enough to freely rotate during use and cleaning. I chose the Sheepskin Leather version because something in the oils of my skin seems to devour "pleather," and I did not want "velour" because it is difficult to clean. In terms of comfort, I much prefer these to the original AKG pads. It is difficult to put in words the comfort difference. Right from the package they are clearly more "substantial." In service the memory foam and leather combination is a bit firmer than the AKG pads, yet they were still plenty supple to conform comfortably to my head in a gentle way. With the AKG pads I sometimes felt like the memory foam had compressed completely, and that my ears were just barely touching the backing-mesh. With these, I feel like the headphones are better and more comfortably supported around my ear, and that my ear has a bit more space between it and the backing-mesh as well as between it and the inner edge of the earpad. They also seem cooler and dryer; perhaps the "additional space" and the leather allow for a cooler and dryer environment? These differences also affect the sound, as other reviewers have noted. What I experienced was a slight attenuation of the bass, most likely due to my ear being a bit more distant from the driver; yet a slight increase in my experience of spaciousness, perhaps due to the "additional space" that these earpads provide. In large part I purchased the AKG-K550s for their sound -- warm and articulate, with extended bass. I did a lot of early-on experimentation with equalization, but returned to "flat" input to the AKGs to enjoy their designed sound. With the Sheepskin Leather Brainwavz Round XL Memory Foam Earpads, I chose to create and apply a very slightly increasing equalization curve below A-440 to compensate for the bass loss from these earpads: +1dB at 240Hz, +2dB at 135Hz, and +4dB at 76Hz. (10dB is considered to about double the volume psycho-acoustically. I was originally too assertive with my adjustment, and backed down to what I just shared.) What resulted for me was very close to the original listening experience with a bit more spaciousness -- BETTER for me. A note on installation... There is a very good video on YouTube about replacing the earpads on the AKG-K550s. During the installation of the second pad, the presenter mentions a "notch" that was "undoing" his work. Although he warns the installer of this inconvenience, I figured that I could use it to ease installation; I thought, "If it can undo what he is doing, it can help me do the installation." The material that mounts the Brainwavz is a bit thicker and wider than the original earpads. Using the "notch" to feed the mount behind the plate made installation trivial. In the YouTube video the presenter uses fast-forward during his mounting process; making the notch to work for me, I had the whole thing done real-time quicker than his fast-forward. Having similarly struggled before, like in the video, with replacing the earpads on my Senns, I was super grateful to AKG for providing that little notch.

Perfectly awesome replacement earpads for my ATH-A900s (and others)
First, this is not a paid review. I purchased these pads on Amazon and did not receive anything from either Brainwavz or Amazon in terms of compensation in the form of money, product, or otherwise for this review. I've had my ATH-A900s for several years now and didn't realize how poorly the factory pads had aged and broken down. Anyone who has tried Audio Technica cans like these knows that they are some of the comfiest headphones that you can treat your head and ears to...not to mention great sound! But after I noticed how bad the stock pleather pads were looking, I started searching for replacements. It came down to Brainwavz, $6 pads from another brand on here, or similarly-cheap ones shipped from China on that big auction site. The other ones might work OK but I noticed other reviewers verifying that these did fit the ATH-A/AD900 and in the end I felt that a nice pair of headphones deserves a nice set of pads. To me, the Brainwavz pads looked thicker and better constructed. Are they +$20 better? No clue, but I have no regrets and no doubt that these will last a long time. I went back and forth on the velour vs. pleather vs hybrid. As some of you know, the closed A models in this series from Audio Technica came with pleather pads and the open AD models came with velour/velveteen pads. I never found that my ears got hot with the pleather ones as some do, but as they break down they can get pretty scratchy due to the "rough" edges of the material being exposed and while the pleather Brainwavz pads might very well use more robust materials and not break down for a very very long time (they do look to be well constructed), I didn't want to worry about possible issues with appearance or comfort in the future so I went with the velour pads. Plus, I just like the feel of them. My Beyer DT-700 PRO headphones have velvet/velour pads and while not as cushy and soft as these, I've always enjoyed the feel of them against my head and around my ears. New pleather pads might form a better seal than the velour - I'm not sure, and I'm tempted to buy another set to compare just because it'd give me an excuse to buy another set of these babies. So I cannot tell you if there is any impact on sound or noise isolation, but one reviewer said that the velour Brainwavz pads offered better noise isolation than the stock AT pleather pads and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case because as you can see from my pics, the stock pads are thinner and flatter while these are thick and the memory foam is nice and dense. If it turns out that the pleather pads do provide an even better seal and isolation, but you're concerned about possible flaking after heavy use, you could go with the sheepskin leather pads but those are right at $45 at the time of this writing and that was just more than I wanted to spend on a pair of pads when I have several headphones that I rotate through depending on my mood. These are exactly what I wanted and what I was expecting based on the pics and reviews. I just checked and the pleather ones are now $16.99, so about $10 less than a few days ago when I was deciding between those and the velours. At that price, I might have to nab them just to satisfy my curiosity and have another spare set to cover my replacement needs for a LONG time! I'm giving these an overall rating of 5 stars. For the feature subcategories I am giving the following ratings: Comfort: 5/5 These are like having pillows on your ears. I do not see how they could possibly get any comfier and as far as I know, they are the comfiest set of pads available for these cans. Material quality: 4/5 No complaints here, but I haven't had them long enough to see how they'll hold up over years of use and I'm sure there is ALWAYS room for improvement in material quality...if you're willing to pay for it. These offer excellent construction at a reasonable price point. If in 5 years they still look new and I remember, I'll come back and update this to a 5/5. Sound quality: 4/5 Again, as far as I know it's a 5/5 but I do not have any of the other models of Brainwavz pads to compare them to. The headphones DO sound excellent with these pads but I'm going to assume once again that there could be room for improvement if a denser foam was chosen that let even less noise through (though comfort might then suffer as a result due to the pads being stiffer). Hey, there ain't no shame in 4/5...that's still excellent but again I have nothing to compare them to so let's call it a 4-4.5 for now!

Improved soundstage, improved isolation, very comfortable.
Comparing the Brainwavz microsuede XL pads to my previous Dekoni Audio Velour pads here. Using them on a Beyerdynamic Amiron Home. These are very difficult to apply until you realize just how stretchy and durable the line is. On the Amiron Home, 1990, etc. which have a lip over which you twist the lip to stretch it on, you can't apply these the normal way. It doesn't work to use the lip. The best way to apply these is to stretch the lip inside out and stretch them back over the earpads. The universal mounting is absolutely enormous and incredibly stretchy, so no matter what headphones you have they will likely work as long. The only issue is that the mounting thing is so thick that it almost covers the 3.5mm ports on my headphones. Comfort - Very comfortable and soft, about on par with the Dekoni Audio velour pads (although these are new and my Dekoni pads have been used for a while now). The fabric is very rich and feels a bit like some very fine felt. Very unique because it feels a lot smoother than velour. Sound - Soundstage was noticeably more immersive after putting these on. Sound isolation from the outside and leakage out of the inside have both improved. I can't hear the sound leaking headphones from 5 feet away anymore and outside sounds are now more muted. Other than the incompatibility of the universal mounting system in niche mounting systems built for pads with shorter lips/mounts, the other cons are that the pads can shed some black material onto your fingers (not a problem specific to these, this also happened when I first wrangled with my Dekoni pads) and that they feel like they trap a moderately greater amount of warmth than Dekoni Velour.

Great alternative for DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm
First off, I'm just starting to delve into the world of audio. I have a few Drop cans, and the Beyer DT 770 Pro and TYGR. These pads are an awesome addition to the DT 770. I have large ears and a big head, so I wanted to see if the XL pads fit properly while keeping my ears off the pads and drivers. They don't fit 100%, but they are really quite good for aftermarket pads that are oversized. Once on the cans, they are snug yet allow you to move them around slightly or rotate them. The color is great as well. These pads are incredibly comfortable while also isolating sound. I haven't noticed any heat but I also wear them in a cool basement for the most part. They barely touch the top and bottom of my ears. When compared the to DY 770 stock pads, they have MUCH more room on in all dimensions. My ears no longer press heavily against the driver! On to sound, which is a personal preference thing to a certain, but anyone can tell when sound is too far gone with a pad swap no matter what level of experience you have. Background: I use Peace with a couple preset EQ's, including oratory1990 depending on what I'm doing, so I know where the peaks and valleys of these cans are fairly well. I also have a Schiit Loki to play with EQ manually when changing stuff around. Before I ordered these I tried a set of the Brainwavz memory foam, non-perforated oval shaped pads made for M50x replacements. I had those pads from a different headset that I returned. These damped a bit too much and made the seal too tight for the DT 770. The mids were drowned and the bass was giving cabin pressure feels, not very nice. However they were quite comfortable on the ears. I decided to try the XL perforated pads almost immediately. These perforated XL pads were such a nice surprise. With flat EQ, they quelled most of the harsher peaks between 6-8k, while also lowering the pressure of the bass. The mids really shine through, and you don't lose any of that Beyer detail. I'm more than happy to use them flat, but I tend to drop the 6-8k range every so slightly to be very comfortable. The bass still thumps and drives with better clarity than the stock pads in my opinion. I am very surprised at how much of a win these pads are FOR ME! I want to emphasize that the feel, sound, and fit are all very personal things. When it comes to the pads themselves, they are very well made. I love the color, the material has no blemishes, and the stitching is nice all the way around. I think these will last a long time as long as the foam doesn't compress too much with age. As I previously stated, I'm incredibly happy how these pads turned out. I was expecting to take a small hit on sound for more comfort, but instead I find that the sound has improved, the comfort is otherworldly, and I really enjoy how these look as well. I hope they work as well for you!

Fits the AKG 550 perfectly
I have a pair of AKG K550 headphones that are about 4 years old that are one of my favorites. After years of fairly gentle use and hanging from a headphone stand, I was disappointed to see that the pleather covering of the ear pads was cracked and flaking off on both ear pads. AKG's Customer Service was of no help as their Parts Department initially stated it does not carry replacement ear pads. 2 days after my call they responded that you can purchase replacement from them. After a number of searches online, I came across the Brainwavz XL Large round replacements that I ordered here on Amazon. First off - any AKG K55x user must use the XL large round ear pads with the 110 mm opening. Anything smaller will be too small. The Brainwavz were incredible easy to install. The originals have a vinyl/plastic-y flange that fits over and into the slot on each earpiece. My originals were in such bad shape, they ripped when I took them off. All said, it took less than 5 minutes to install the new pads. One tip - the K550 has a small grove or split on the earpiece that makes it easy to get the ear pad flange into the receiving side. Just feed the flange into the slot and then just slowly stretch to position the flange. It literally took 2 - 2 1/2 minutes per side to fit the new pads. So far, no complaints. I went with the sheepskin for durability. They are very comfortable and slightly thicker than the originals, which is fine as I hate have my ear rest on the interior mesh covering the speaker. ON EDIT - OK, so I've just completed an extended listening session of about 2 hours using the K550's and the new Brainwavz XL's. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. With the new ear pads, the headphones are much better fitting and comfortable. You now get a proper seal around your ear, which was my complaint of the original pads - the originals are rounded in shape and compress with time resulting in a less than proper fit. Sound-wise, the K550's sound great. In fact, I would say they sound a bit better now due to the proper fit of the ear pads. The soundstage is a richer and more expanded. Sonically, you are now hearing more detail in the music presentation. I found no degradation in sound that often occurs with aftermarket "Universal" ear pads. All around, I would say this the new pads provide an improved sound to the K550. Lastly, the sheepskin leather is very comfortable. I was concerned that the leather would be hot and sweaty after extended use but they were very comfortable and a delight to use even after a 2 hour listening session. If you are are at all hesitant or concerned about spending $40 on earpads for a $300 headphone, just do. The K55x series are remarkable headphones and easily one of the best-in-class for the price, frankly outperforming some more expensive headphones with their skewed sound performance. The Brainwavz ear pads are a worthy add to replace the original ear pads.

Damages the sound of the Sundara
Perforated style used on HifiMan Sundaras Fairly comfortable to wear; much better than the OEM pads these are replacing. They look a bit cheap, but the feel is okay. Not too hot on head, but leaves ears feeling sweaty/humid. No durability issues after 15 months. Fits the Sundara fairly well; these are on the large side though, with a bit of overhang. Writing review after switching to the Velour version of these pads. I couldn't stand the sound of the pads and didn't get around to replacing them until now, 15 months later. They seem to produce a very "harsh" sound compared to the velour/oem pads. My Sundaras lost their signature "airiness" using these pads and that made me very sad. In good news, the velour pads sound fantastic and I will be leaving a positive review for that style.

AKG K702
I wasn't sure if I wanted to order the Brainwavz XL in Micro Suede, or if I wanted to dish out the extra cost for the Dekoni's. Ultimately, after reading reviews and comparisons - As sparse as they may be for the K702's, I decided to go with the Brainwavz. Pros: One of my biggest issues with the K702's is how shrill they are, it made listening to rock and metal music exhausting. Rap and electronic music sounded great, but once you threw in a more treble guitar oriented mix, it was rough. The Brainwavz absolutely tame the high end and make these headphones sound exactly how I wanted them to. They emphasize the bass, albeit only slightly, mellow out the high mids, and completely warm up the treble. I love it. The memory foam is so soft and squishy, and the square profile is what I prefer over the K702's stock round earpads. Likewise, the Micro Suede is way softer than the stock pads. It's great and doesn't feel cheap. So far I haven't had any issues with the suede bleeding dye onto other surfaces - And believe me, I tried. Both with paper and paper towels. I even used a damp towel. No bleeding. Maybe this issue has been resolved? Or maybe it will show up in the future. I don't know. Comfort is amazing, either way. Cons: They don't use AKG's clip mount bracket, instead opting to wrap around the outside of the headphone cups. Generally this wouldn't be an issue, but the pleather wraps a bit too far around the surface of the cups, over the open metal grill. The result is that you end up with an experience that feels much more like semi-open headphones instead of true open headphones. This is especially true on the K702's which I wouldn't consider "true open" to begin with due to the center being blocked. Overall, if you can get past how these earpads are mounted, and you're also looking to tame the stock sound of the K702's, you honestly can't go wrong. The microsuede material is nice and softer than I imagined it ever would be, and while I am still curious about the Dekoni version of these earpads, I do think for my particular use case I made the right decision.

Superb comfort, an "interesting" choice for Philips Fidelio X2
I bought these pads hoping for a bit more comfort when fitted to my Philips Fidelio X2 headphones (which I love). This is my first experiment with replacement headphone pads, and I may try something different in the future. These are just my own subjective impressions, for what it's worth. Comfort: It's a huge win for me - compared to the velour stock pads, the micro-suede material feels nicer, and the larger size means there is absolutely zero contact with my ears. Also, the memory foam in the Brainwavz pads is somewhat softer, and it just molds to the sides of my head in a very comfortable way. Manufacturing quality: Again excellent, I can't really fault it, and I would say the pads are excellent value for money in this regard. On fitting to Philips Fidelio X2s: The pads are a slightly loose fit on the Philips X2 headphones specifically, of course they will be better for other headphones with slightly larger earcups - but they do still seem to work fine on the X2s. I just unclipped the stock pads (so I can refit these at any time) and it's fairly easy to ease the pleather fabric "skirt" on the Brainwavz pads around the X2 earcups. The fitting posts for the stock pads on the X2 earcups don't cause any problems. You could perhaps add a strip of some material around the rims of the X2 earcups to increase the circumference and achieve a tighter fit, but I'm not sure I will bother myself. Effect on sound: What I say is obviously specific to the Philip Fidelio X2 headphones I have. The pads basically increased the bass (which is not lacking on the X2s anyhow) to the point I found it overblown and somewhat boomy. At the same time, the treble frequencies were reduced and softened, and there seemed to be a loss of detail, and a less resolved soundstage. So first impressions not at all good, and I really thought I'd made a mistake getting there pads, despite liking the comfort. But what has totally saved the day is that I've found that with these pads the X2s respond beautifully to eq-ing - I used an s-shaped curve, reducing frequencies below 500KHz, and boosting those above. Quite amazed, but with a bit of experiment all the detail and soundstage can be brought back (even improved) and any boomy-ness in the bass can be removed, leaving a deep but clean bass response. In fact, with the eq tweaked to my taste, I think I prefer the sound over the stock pads - there seems to be an effortless, natural quality to the sound that is for me an improvement. So as long as you have access to some kind of decent graphic eq, you may actually like these pads for the Philips X2s. That said, this was my first replacement pad purchase, I don't have any particular "audiophile" qualifications, and I am wondering if the pleather pads Brainwavz makes would have been a better choice - only one way to find that out I suppose. So there you have it - it's hard to be absolutely conclusive, but these Brainwavz pads are certainly well made and very comfortable. If you really don't like the idea of relying on eq to get a sound you like, then maybe they're not the best choice for Philips Fidelio X2 owners, although as one such I am happy enough. And I'm sure there will be other headphones out there for which these pads are just excellent, without the need for changing the eq - perhaps those with a bit of a bright sound profile and lacking a bit in bass response.

Wunderbar komfortable Ersatz-Ohrpolster
Wunderbar komfortable Ersatz-Ohrpolster für meinen AKG K702 Kophörer. Die Polster sind etwas dicker als die Original-Polster, aber da der K702 ohnehin recht locker auf dem Kopf sitzt (zumindest auf meinem Schädel) hat dies kaum Auswirkungen auf den Aufdruck des Kopfhörers und ist daher auch über längere Zeit sehr angenehm zu tragen. Auch das Kunst-Wildleder trägt sich außerordentlich angenehm und fühlt sich keineswegs künstlich an. Es hat eine sehr feine, weiche und fast etwas kühlende Haptik und trägt ideal zum angenehmen Tragekomfort bei. Auf die offene Kopfhörer-Charakteristik des K702 haben diese Ohrpolster so gut wie keinen hörbaren Einfluss, aber der Tragekomfort des ohnehin sehr bequemen Kopfhörers wird durch den Kunst-Wildlederbezug zusätzlich verbessert. Der höhere Preis für diese Polster lohnt sich definitiv, daher habe ich die Polster meines Audio-Technica ATH M50X ebenfalls gegen diese ausgetauscht. Definitive Kaufempfehlung für Leute, die viel mit Köpfhörer arbeiten oder einfach nur mit hohem Komfort Musik hören wollen!

Me gustan, pero...
Como muchos dicen, son muy cómodas y el sonido me gusta. El problema es, que parecen de distintas consistencias y al ponértelas una queda más fina que la otra.

pad senza un senso logico
Testati su: Audio Technica ad500x, ad700x, ad1000x, akg k701, k712pro.. Posso solo che definirli una presa in giro. Progettati senza il minimo riguardo verso la qualità audio. Mi chiedo se esistano cuffie full size che non vengano completamente degradate nella qualità audio usando questi Brainwavz XL. Io ho preso la versione in microfibra e la qualità costruttiva è molto buona. Il materiale che va a contatto con la pelle è uno dei più confortevoli che abbia provato e l'imbottitura in memory foam è ottima. Peccato che siano inutilmente, esageratamente grossi e spessi. In tutte le cuffie sulle quali li ho testati si montano in 2 minuti e non c'è modo che si tolgano da soli, ma in tutte la qualità audio viene compromessa. I driver si allontanano troppo dalle orecchie e il maggior spessore dei pad aumenta anche la forza di clamping in zona tempie-mandibola. In generale ho percepito un nettissimo peggioramento nell'imaging di ogni cuffia, ossia l'abilità di collocare con precisione i suoni nel soundstage, andata quasi completamente a farfalle. La spazialità aumenta un po' per via del maggior volume creato tra orecchie e driver, ma si fa surreale.. si perde consistenza "al centro", col suono che si sposta più alle estremità, dando la lieve impressione che il suono provenga da un tunnel a sinistra e da un tunnel a destra. La maggior pressione attorno alle orecchie ha aumentato in tutte le cuffie la presenza dei bassi e con le versioni in pelle di questi pad sarebbe ancora peggio. I medi (le voci) si allontanano. Se non volete peggiorare la resa sonora delle vostre cuffie, ve li sconsiglio caldamente. Acquistate solo pad originali.. mentre se vi piace avventurarvi in qualche test con pad alternativi, scegliete qualcosa che abbia misure di poco differenti dai pad di serie, perché basta davvero poco per modificare pesantemente la resa sonora delle cuffie e si rischia di fare più danni che altro.
