Leather Replacement earpad/Ear Cushion/Ear Cover for Big OVEREAR Headphones (Fits a Great Variety of Headphones) - Black

I ordered these to replace the ear pads on the Ausdom M06 after trying a different product from another vendor that was supposed to be a brand specific replacement and was not. These ear pads checked all 4 boxes I needed: fit securely on the headphones, cup entirely over my ear, be comfortable enough to wear for at least a couple of hours at once, and be made from a vegan-approved material.Size:Based on other reviews, I knew these ear pads were quite large. Some reviews here included outer and inner size dimensions which were essential to my decision to buy these. (thank you other reviewers!) However, I was not expecting the ear pads to have different thicknesses on either side of the ear pad. I took many photos to help show how one side of an ear pad is much thicker than the other, almost a 3/8 inch difference! My photos also show a side-by-side with the original Ausdom M06 ear pads they replace, both on and off of the headphones, as well as how they headphones fit with the new ear pads (photos showing both sides of the headphones).The size of these ear pads is no joke! My wife thinks they look ridiculous but I don't care so long as they work well.Comfort 5/5:I wore theses for several hours before writing this review, including on the head indoors for music and tv listening, outside placed over a beanie hat while listening to music, and on the head for a Zoom call.Despite the massive thickness they are not uncomfortable to wear. I don't get much added pressure from due to the headband compression. They fit entirely over my ear, which I wanted, and this has the side effect that my ears will get warm after a while. As the weather gets hotter (it's winter now), my ears will definitely sweat.Build quality (5/5:Theses seem just as well good as most replacement ear pads I've seen. All stitching was done well and no signs of manufacturing issues (unless that thickness difference is not supposed to be there). I'm not sure how well these will hold up after extended use, but I assume they will last a couple years depending on use like most PU leather products, or less if exposed to sweat regularly (exercise, etc.).Installation (4/5):They do not install the same as my original ear pads. The originals pulled out of a small trim ring on the headphone. These fit over that trim ring. The ear pad fabric has a slight stretchiness to it, and I was concerned that too much pressure would tear the fabric. Thankfully, it did not tear and I was able to tuck most of it into the trim ring area so the back of the ear pad is not exposed. -1 point hear for the difficulty with fitment. A universal ear pad should have a bit more elasticity on the back of the ear pad.Noise cancellation (3/5):One reason I wanted the ear pads to fit entirely over my ears is to improve the headphone sound experience. Perhaps it is because these are so large or the difference side thickness, but there is a small gap between the ear pads and my head on the narrow side of the ear pads. It is not much, but it does allow in more outside sound, and air noise when the wind blows. The Ausdom M06 are not ANC headphones and I'm not expecting these ear pads to provide much ANC features. The deductions here are because they do let in more sound and air noise than my original ear pads; not enough to be disruptive, but enough to notice.Overall, I'm pleased with these ear pads and do recommend them to anyone who won't mind have giant looking headphones.

Make sure they are compatible with your headphones

I appreciate reviews that do not feed me a line and get to the point. TLDR (at the beginning): buy these now before they go up in price. For the comfort they provide and the price they ask, you are getting a superior product.I. Love. These. Earpads. I have over a dozen in-ear headphones, five on-ear headphones, and six over-ear headphones (yes, I have a problem). As my bartender once said as I was chasing down the elusive Thomas Handy rye bourbon: “You are chasing the dragon, good sir.” My dudes/ladies, I want awesome sounding music at a decent price. FLAC is my go-to and I need headphones and a good DAC to chase the elusive dragon of sound euphoria. With the format down, I need a set of cans that do not blow the budget (I own Bose and love them, but dude, that brand is stupid expensive and only worth the Black Friday and refurbished deals that rear their ugly heads during sales) and still provide reliable sound. I have developed a certain audiophile obsession over the last few years because I am getting older and YouTube 128kbps videos just are not doing it for me lately. As such, unfortunately, searching for “the best sound” at the best price means I have to chase down components to Frankenstein my sound options.Behold: the Tranesca earpads are making budget cans that have no business sounding as good as they do (I am looking at you Tascam TH-02 and Monoprice 8323—look up the reviews if you have not checked them out) more comfortable. Look, none of us really want to pay $100+ for headphones that sound awesome with our music collection. As such, we buy cheap headphones in hope that they reach Bose/Sonos levels of sound. Budget headphones, especially the good ones, cut the costs in the earpads; the silent agreement is that your music will sound amazing but your ears are likely to hurt in an hour or two. Some of us are okay with this. Others, like me, are not. This is America. We want the cheapest product at the best price. As I mentioned before, I own 20+ headphones and I prefer over-the-ear for sound isolation but it’s hard to find comfortable cans (especially if your eyes are not cooperative and you have to wear glasses to see anything—yay me!). I have replaced both the Tascam and Monoprice headsets with the Tranesca replacement earpads and they are infinitely more comfortable.I would love to pretend that I am blowing smoke up the proverbial backside, but these things are just comfy. I also own an expensive set of the Brainwaz Sheepskin Earpads (https://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Sheepskin-Leather-Memory-Earpad/dp/B01J53KM32) and I prefer the Tranesca, which are a third of the price. I have owned the Tranesca for three months (I will come back here and edit if longevity is a problem) and they are my go-to for replacement pads. They are thick, comfy, and go around my big ears to provide passive noise cancellation. I bought another pair to put on my gaming headphones because they are that awesome.If you are rolling with Amazon Prime, do yourself a favor and at least check these out. Best case scenario: you hate yourself for not making your budget headphones feel awesome. Worst case scenario: you decide the earpads don’t help your jams and you return them (with no consequence!) to chase the music dragon more. 10/10 would buy again.
