Replacement Pair of Ear Pads Cushions Compatible with BOSE QuietComfort QC3 Headphones

My QC3's have been looking shabby for some time, now but I have held off purchasing replacement pads, 1) as the Bose ones are expensive and 2) that the non Bose ones may be rubbish in comparison.Having taken the plunge with these, I am pleasantly surprised. I don't think that they are as comfortable as the Bose ones, which are extremely nice, but they are very, very close. Replacement was a doddle, the existing ones simply pull off and the new ones click on. The fit and look of these are really good, I havenot used them for extended periods of time yet, but I'm pretty sure that they will perform as well as expected. I just need a new cord now.....

The original Bose ones are made of a thin elastic mesh fabric which have PU imitation leather applied on top of it. Over time, this material disintegrates and you'll be covered in tiny little specks of black material on your shoulders and wherever you leave them. That took a good 4 years in my case.These are not as good as the original earpiece covers, but they do the job and fit perfectly and easily. I really can't complain for what I paid, a mere £9 for these on a set of headphones that cost me £260+ at the airport a few years ago. Made it look as good as new now!

They're a lot cheaper than the Bose 'official' parts, so don't expect them to be anywhere as near as good. They're not. The memory foam isn't as good; the 'pads' aren't as thick and the material is (a) very puckered and (b) oversize compared to the originals. Also, the pair I received appeared to be different thicknesses! Truthfully, if you've splashed out on Bose QC3s, you really ought to be prepared to splash out on proper replacements. These do the job of sitting on your ear, but they look naff and you can tell a mile off that you've skimped. Think remoulds on a Ferrari...

I'll try to be clear for other users, these are ever so slightly more firm than the originals, but no issue to worry about, they snap on perfectly and I cannot notice any difference in sound quality (I'm quite particular) visually they slightly differ as he "leather" is crimped around the edge, whereas the originals are completely smooth.

Delivered next day as promised and in perfect condition. Easy to installwould reccomend

Bought these to replace the original pads which had leather covering bits falling off after a couple of years use and they fit & look like the originals. Comfy too.

Replacement Ear pads arrived on time and we're good quality. I love my Bose headphones and the new ear pads have helped extend their usable life. Pad were easy to fit. They just clip in.

Not quite as good as the Bose original but a very good replacement that made my QC 3's look like new and much more comfortable to wear. The originals had deteriorated so much that I was covered in little bits of the black coating every time I used them. Easy to remove the old covers and fit the new ones.
