Soft and a tad pricey

Harry Turner 01.11.2019

Good if you wear glasses as they have a bit more give in them.
Mine are 4/5 yrs od and geet regular use. Just starting to how signs of wear and fading but not so worn I need new ones just yet.

They come with replacement foam liners.
Still a bit pricy in my opinion.

Don't like hard leather, get these.

Aaatoz 01.12.2020

Using these on my K240 Studio's instead of default hard leather ones. Much more pleasant to use long periods of time for listening and making music as well as playing games. I use headphones long periods of time so I need my headphones to be as comfy as possible and that wasn't a case with the factory pads, so I had to look for something better. These velour pads keep their softness and stay in form. These don't get sweaty and slippery in warm spaces either, which is good. Pads sit well over (my) ear and even if sitting partially on ear, these doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

That's it. That's the word. Put it on the street.

Recommended for long studio usage!

snurf 04.08.2014

I bought AKG K-240 headphones for studio purposes. Those are very comfortable to use, but the plastic material covering makes the skin sweaty after couple of hours spend on the head. Then velour pads are perfect solution for comfort of studio work.
They are easy replaceable, although you have to be careful not to tear, as the back plastic material covering is much shorter than the one on factory pads. The pads are build of very comfortable soft velour mesh pad. Looks like it will not wear out within a month. It is good quality. Headphone ear cups stay perfectly on the ears, I would say, fit little better than original one.
They muffle the sound slightly more efficient then original pads.

Better than the originals

Anonymous 15.04.2014

I purchased these as the original pads were starting to crack on my beloved AKG K-240 headphones.

These are superior in every way, and the velour material is much more comfortable than the fake leather used in the original pads. As comfortable as the K-240's are over extended listening periods, in the height of summer then can get a little sweaty. This is no longer a problem with the Velour pads which are also less prone to cracking.

I found fitting them to be a very easy task too which is always a bonus.

All in all, they have breathed new life into a much loved pair of headphones and represent excellent value for money. Certainly much cheaper than buying a new pair of headphones!

Bought these to put on Superlux HD668b

rayzer... 03.04.2022

Superlux have their own cheaper velour pads but decided on these as i felt they would be more comfortable. They were a tight fit to get on but they work as expected, 668 are way more comfortable now.

Well-made

David449 28.05.2013

These were purchased as a replacement for the leather/plastic originals. They are a little tricky to fit but it only took a few minutes. The attraction for buying these is that they are velour and should be comfortable. On the first instance, they are very comfortable but after an hour or so they begin to hurt my ears as they do not quite fit over them (I have small ears).
In short, they are well made and, for me, comfortable for shorter listening sessions.

Fits perfectly

zephyrune 19.12.2022

Pads are fitting perfectly and the material is very comfortable. I bought these because the original pads were full of crack and scratches due to long time use. However these pads feels even better because of it's wooly surface.
The only thing I'd ask as an improvement is padding would be a little more softer.

AKG K-240/270/271 Velour Pad

SJH 08.11.2013

I bought these to replace the plastic pads on a pair of Superlux HD681 headphones and the combination of the headphones and these pads has given me a quality set of headphones that I can wear comfortably for hours at a time ... and at a fraction of the price of more expensive headphones.

Try this combination ... Wow !!!

Improves sound stage

PomstaZLesa 11.04.2017

The first thing I have noticed is how sound stage gets bigger, because these pads will turn your headphone [tested on Superlux HD668b] into proper open headphones.
It also allows you to wear your headphones for whole day, since there is a lot more space for your ears and because its velour, it also lets a lot more air in, so they can "breathe".
Best choice in this price range.
