Replacing Ear Pads On Sony Headphones

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.

I love these earpads replacing the crumbling original Sony pads perfectly on my MDR-V6 headphones & MDR-7506 headphones

I have a decade old MDR-V6 SONY headphones. Replacing the old pads with Pearstone earpads made them like new. Could be a slight sonic difference compared to the old pads, but I just listen to music, so it didn't make any difference to me. The pads are more comfortable than the old ones.

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.

The ear pads on my Sony MDR-7506 headphones had become cracked and the outer layer was peeling. These were easy to replace and are more comfortable than the originals.

These leather ear pads are excellent. They should have been on my Sony headphones from the very beginning. A little hard to get on, but once you figure out how to get the pads on; well, there fantastic. Good feeling to my ears. They don't feel rough or hard, nice and soft yet firm and molds to your ear.

Sony MDR-7506's are awesome headphones but what do you do when the original ear pads give out before the drivers do? Get these! Easy to install and better than the original pads. What I like about the deluxe model is that they've replaced the stock faux-leather surface with a soft felt covering. Great external sound dampening and comfort - PLUS... no more sweaty head when using them for long listening times. Great product!

I go through a set of ear pads every year or two on my Sony MDRv-6 headphones. I thought the velour wouldn't be as sticky and hot in the summer. The pads fit the cans well and don't seem to affect the sonic quality. They're also comfortable. I'd buy them again. If this was for work at the studio (sharing) I'd stick with the faux leather for sanitary reasons.
