Dekoni Audio Elite Earpads for Beyerdynamic DT Series - Comfortable Replacement Ear Pads for DT 990 Pro, Enhanced Sound Quality, Durable Design (Elite Velour)

I'm an adult computer enthusiast, a gamer, and I enjoy a variety of music and podcasts. My Astro headset died after years of use. In an effort to spend my money wisely, I did some research on my next headset. ZeosPantera and his Z Reviews helped me settle on the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation) as the headset of choice. I enjoyed his videos so much (despite knowing I simply do not fully appreciate sound in the way he and most of his audience does), I ended up watching a whole slew of them (and, I'll admit, still play a few every now and then -- I'm hooked). Anyways, in one of his videos, he runs through at least 10 variations of Dekoni Audio Replacement Ear Pads, using them on a dozen or so different sets of headphones/headsets, including the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation). For each, he ranks the ear pads and recommends what works best. For the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation), he gave this particular ear pad high marks. So, I splurged and bought them. First, these are very well made, and as I prepared to install them I had a chance to physically compare them to the stock ear pads. I'll tell you Beyerdynamic makes an excellent product, but they need to consider contracting with Dekoni because their pads are both visually superior and a tactile examination clearly reveals they are softer and made from superior materials. I installed them. Easy. These fit snug and are fully compatible. If you have MMX 300's, these work and fit very well. My ears aren't especially discriminating. Sure, I know what sounds good and what sounds like poop. The stock pads sound good and feel okay. I do wear glasses and the stock ones did over time hurt a bit, but that's what you get when you're old and got'ta wear specs. It's a tough life and you got'ta put up with some first-world problems, right? So, these new pads sound better. Don't look to me to tell you why or use the right words to describe it. They are just better. I like them. I think you will, too. Zeos agrees. Trust him. Look to him for the right words to explain how and why. I just don't have them to offer you. They're also much more comfortable. The first-worldw problem solved. They feel great, even when wearing them for hours. I'm happy I spent extra money on these pads after spending a bunch of money on some great headphones. If you're hemming-and-hawing over whether it's worth the extra costs, just do it. In the long run, you'll agree it was a worthwhile investment. Now, back to Z Reviews. They're fun.

So far so good! installation was a bit annoying but I didn't take the time to use a hairdryer to loosen up the elastic. It wasn't superbly difficult but I could see how it would get frustrating as it seems like whenever you get one spot on the last undoes itself. I did get them on at a point, and once I did I noticed quite a sound quality change from my DT 770 80Ohm editions. There is definitely a change in audio quality from the stock velour pads to the Choice Leathers, and it is one that makes these headphones significantly more enjoyable. The first track I tried was the Ursula's Cartridges' remix of Climbing the Corporate Ladder, and right away there was significantly more impact in the low end, which is usually a lot lighter on Ursula's tracks. Soundstage also has opened up in a surprising way, directionally I can sense things a better, more reminiscent of an open back headphone, however you will still know these are closed. Higher frequencies are less piercing and stab your ears a lot less. The next track I listened to was 思い出, by t e l e p a t h. This track seldom is flattered by headphones, and I thought it sounded meh on the dt770 stock pads, however the track really opened up and sounded quite pleasing on these. Seems to grant slightly more clarity as well as the other benefits that this has. The third track that I listened to was Happy Cycling by Boards of Canada, and right away there is significantly more detail on the low end bass drum strike at the start of each measure. So much detail I can easily hear the grit on the strike of it. The song also feels to me like its presenting faster and tighter than it has before, very pleasing! I got these because I use my DT770's as my communication headphones as well as casual music listening. The outer noise attenuation is one of my priorities when I was considering a pad swap, and these seem to be a step-up in that department as well. Comfort is higher, I really liked the velour as it was very soft with the slightly intense clamp force of the dt770s, the leather seems a bit more firm and I don't quite like it. As the memory foam ages I am sure it will start to have more give, and as the headphones age I am sure they will also become more comfortable. After a few days of heavy use, I have determined that these pads are indeed quite nice. They make these headphones sound more full, with much more pleasing response and resolve. I have one slight complaint, as the sleeving that the cups use to hold onto the cans can be quite flimsy, and you may lose the earpad from time to time. All in all, I would absolutely recommend these to anyone wanting to take their DT770 pros to the next level. When comparing them to my HE-560 V4s I think they're a phenomenal challenger in the race that is "which my favorite pair of headphones."

Definitely thicker. The increased distance from the drivers to your ear does change the sound profile slightly. If I press the sides against my ears, it sounds a lot like with the original dt770 pads. Albeit it's a barely noticable difference. The foam inside is very soft and comfortable. I can't tell to what extent the "cooling gel" stuff does. Though I can say for sure that it WILL get warm if you wear it for long enough, just like any other material. EDIT: The leather is peeling after one year.

Quality was great, but I didn't like the sound it produced with the DT 177x Go.

Brauchte neue Earpads, anstatt die originalen zu kaufen dachte ich an ein Upgrade. Es gibt Genug Websites die den Frequency response Graphen zeigen was für ein Unterschied diese Earpads bewirken. Komfort ist wirklich gut, vllt sogar besser als die originalen. Wird auf den DT 1990 genutzt bei mir, passen aber auch auf die komplette DT und T Reihe von Beyerdynamic. Meine Meinung zum Sound nach meinem Gehör: Wer den Beyerpeak mag wird den vermissen, der wird mit den Dekoni Pads etwas runter geregelt und ein Stück richtung 10 Khz verschoben. Nichts was man mit nem EQ nicht ändern kann. Subbass ist präsenter, mit den Pads gehen die DT's nochmal deutlich weiter runter und bleiben weiterhin klar. Ich bin kein Experte, aber diese Pads bieten noch mehr and Klang was ich nicht beschreiben kann LOL Außerdem gingen die Earpads unfassbar easy auf die Kopfhörer drauf. Klare Kaufempfehlung, keine Frage.

اضطريت ابدل الاساسية في سماعة dt990 pro لانها تهالكت مع الاستخدام وسمعت كلام ايجابي عن الشركة هذه ملاحظاتي هي اول شي الصوت تغير 180 درجة عن اول بشكل سلبي وايجابي نوعا ما، صار الصوت كانه مكتوم تحس مو قاعد تسرب بس فيه كتمه عكس اول تحسه في مكان مفتوح سميكة وماتخلي اذنك تلمس الدرايفر زي الاساسية اللي تجي مع السماعة يمكن علشان كذا الصوت مختلف تماما مادري هو من راسي او لا لكن من القاع تحت مفتوحة مو ماسكه على الراس بالكامل ضغطها اقوى من الاساسية يمكن لان لي فتره استخدم الاساسية وتهالكت نسيت كيف كانت اول لكن هذه فيها ضغط على الراس

The Dekoni pads are a perfect fit for Final Sonorous X headphones. Sound quality is terrific. I made sure got my Dekoni pads directly from Amazon US, to ensure they are real and authentic Dekoni pads. The Dekoni pads are very sturdily constructed with authentic leather and velour. I’ve been using the pads for more than three years, and they still feel firm, fresh and new. These are FAR more durable unlike the original Final C pads which I had. From Japan. These were made from artificial leather (pleather) and they only last 9 months before flaking and crumbling into pieces and making a terrible mess. I ordered a second pair of pads from Amazon US as a reserve, but these spare pads are still in storage. I may never have to use them!
