Replace Headphone Ear Pads Sony

I needed to replace the ear pads on my Sony MDR-7506 headphones - this for the second time... I use them to monitor audio levels during production. The originals and previous replacements wore out quickly, leaving flakey black plastic bits all over my head, face and ears. NOT acceptable. I am trusting that Sheepskin leather will hold up much better.

The Senal SMH-1000-MK2is lightweight, the cushiony ear pads and headband should fit confortably to everyone. I like the fact that the bottom headband side that touches my head is made of leather / leatherette, which is easy to clean with a mild detergent or 50% (max solution) alchohol with a soft cloth, rather than the headphones that are made of a mesh material which accumulates dirt and body stuff.  Additionally, I recommend buying disposable headband and ear pad protectors such as the Auray Disposable Over-Ear Headphone Covers (50 Pairs, Black) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1585973-REG/auray_hpc_45bk_disposable_headphone_cover_4_5.html for the ultimate in hygiene thus keeping that letter finish from deteriorating due to skin oils. Once I tried it, I can't go back. I love having those disposable pads on every single headphone I own! They also make in white. Performance: This headphone is excellent for critical listening for music and audio monitoring for video production. It has sufficient treble and the mid range boost vocals slightly and gently, just the right amount which is desired, thus maintaining the midrange mild, not piercing.  I tested this headphone listening to Metal, Techno, Classical and HipHop. It provides the adequate amount of bass in a way the studio meant to be heard, balancing all frequencies as a whole. If you're a bass head looking for bass shattering headphones, where 99% of BASS is all that matters before the actual rest of the music, this is not the product for you. Volume: With the impedance of 64 Ohms, even on a MacBook Air, it is loud enough. About 90db, which is loud enough . If you want louder, it will depend on the equipment you are using. Therefore, I'm pleased with this headphone. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review].

My old MDR-7506 headphone ear pads are starting to wear, and shows visible cracks. It's been more than a few years, so I figured I would try these CanSkins Earcup covers. These are covers, in other words, they go over your existing pads. They are NOT complete replacement earcups ! I have found the sound is still excellent, and I didn't want to replace my headphones, which are nearly 100.00. I would recommend, but just remember they cover your existing ear pads. For the price and excellent buy.

These are my favorite headphone in this price rage. Good fit and they last. You will probably need to replace the headphone pads after a few years but the build is solid.

Have always been a big fan of the Sony MDR-7506 over the years... after replacing my latest pair of headphones after 7 years of daily use as an on-air radio pro, I found these ear pads recommended by B&H. Never had any issues with the stock ear pads on my MDR-7506, but decided to try these as an upgrade... and very glad I made the decision! Nice to now have warm & fuzzy ears and never feel any fatigue from wearing for long periods of time. It's a subtle upgrade, but worth it.

Purchased these to replace the ear pads that came with my two MDR-7506s with comfort and durability in mind. Replacement was simple enough, no issues there. Time will tell how durable these will be, that said, I can feel the difference between these and the stock ear pads on my 7506s and also my Sony MDR-10BRTs (which started to flake a, peel and tear). A decent purchase for far less than any other online retailer for these.

The quality was perfect, basically new in box. I do replace the ear pads as the included ones were a little too thin for my ears.

The ear cups of my old Senal SMH -Series headphones were cracking and flaking, so I had to wipe the flecks of the old phones off my face after I used them. I got the deluxe velour ear pads and in a couple of minutes I replaced the old cushions. And by the way, Auray has a video that shows you the right way to do it. They're comfortable and don't get hot. Easy to install. Make sure your headphones have 1/6/40 mm drivers. Larger than that, and I don't think they'll fit. If you're using Sony Sony MDR-7506 in the studio and your talent is complaining that they're not comfortable after an hour or two, swap out the ear pads with these and the complaints will stop. A great buy for $14.

As a audiophile I have other headphones I prefer if I want to simply listen to music however as a pro AV tech, this Sony MDR-7506 is the ONLY headphones I want when doing any kind of pro use from checking a mic line in a live mixing situation to mixing audio for video, this is my choice headphone. The Sony sound is flat, not a lot of bass but is exactly whats needed when mixing as you want flat. The isolation is good when blocking outside sounds and I find the Sony will hold up to pro use, except the ear pads those are replaceable, I would suggest go ahead and order the extra ear pads as you will need them. I have been using my original set of Sony MDR-7506 at least 12 years of pro work and are simply fantastic! Never a short or any problems but I am on my 4th or 5th set of ear pads as in a pro situation I am very hard on these phones. You may find a better sounding headphone but when mixing or using in the field for anything pro AV, this is the headphones to buy!

I had a pair of +12 years old MD6 Sony headphones that I was ready to toss out because the original ear pads had deteriorated beyond use. I searched on the internet and found B&H who delivered replacement ear pads in 3 days. A great service.
