If you want your Sony MDR-1000X wireless headphones to be more comfortable as they surround your ears, consider these Bluestar CanSkins, offered here in a stylish gray. This is a pair of comfortable coverings that slip over your headphones, doing so without dampening or distorting the sound.

The item is fashioned out of breathable synthetic ultrasuede material, coated in neoprene rubber to protect the headphones from sweat. Simply stretch each CanSkin over each earcup's existing pad. As CanSkins are washable, they also help your headphones stay hygienic.
