Why can't more tutorials be like this. Short 2 minute explanation without "sorry I haven't posted in a while" or "my mom used to love making this pasta sauce". Perfect!
They're even as bad as when you go to look up a recipe and the mother fuckers like "Back in 1978, I was in on my way home from work and walked by a cornfield, the smell reminded me of this old dish my grandmother used to make. She grew up in rural Virginia and became a nurse at Virginia Hospital, it's one of the best in the Nation! She would bring her patients this plate and they absolutely loved it!" You get the point lol
thx for the fast and simple vid. changing the pads is truly a game changer for the ATH! my ears hurt so much before after a while, now they are so light and comfortable while still retaining great sound quality.
Thanks bud. Short, concise, straight to the point. Stock pads lasted me a while but are starting to flake alot. bought some cheap replacements and they fit quite nicely.
Great tutorial. Was having some issues installing a different brands ear pads and they had no such guide, luckily this guide works for all brands. Will look to buying some of your pads if these ones ever wear out :)
Dude just got new Brainwavz pads for my Status Audio CB-1s and this video is a big help for how I can install my new cushions once they arrive on Monday...thank you so much for making this video!
You are welcome! We would like to believe that if we had cushions for the CB-1'S, you would get them from us instead :( Even if its a lie, just say yes so we can feel better :)
bro can you confirm if the replacement has impacted the sound? Read that if you use a 3rd party pads it impacts the sound of Audio Technica Headphones. Pls confirm.
Same, I ordered a new pair of pads, and then went to go try to pull the other off, and was like "If I ruin the ones on there, and these do not fit right, I am fucked...." Put them up, and then looked it up on youtube. New pads on
My ATH50 cushions were shot so I bought a pair of these. They were easy to install when remembering you can stretch them. I'm wearing them right now and what an improvement! Big thumb up to you guys. 😀
Thank you very much .. I thought the ear cushions were glued .. I wanted to send them to audiotechnica everyone stays healthy ... and please support the clubs when they open again. Greetings from Berlin our DJ Rainfire
I have had my Ath M40x cans for about 5 years and the pads are finally starting to crack and I will be buying some replacment pads soon and now I feel confident replacing them
Just swapped the og pads on my ATh M50BT 1st gen and maaaaan! Huge difference in comfort, cushioning and fit! My the ear opening is definitely wider on the new ones . I bought the WC Freeze pads and V2 Bandz Headband cause it was peeling badly. It is a liiiittle tricky getting the new pads on so be patient and take your time folks. Very happy with both!
Man, I had no idea you could even replace these earcups. The outside of mine are completely crumbling and leaving black bits all over my ears and wherever I leave them. Didn't realise you can pull the earcups right off, thank you
i will be a life time fan of audio technicas. After years of use my ear pads have warn out and the cushions are no longer. So my ears have been hurting after hours of use in a session. I foolishly bought logitech's g pro x headset and boy do they suck compared to the m50xs. I wasnt sure if i could replace my ear pads until seeing your video. I will now order new ear pads and sell my logitch ones thank you so much :)
I bought these the first time I replaced my ear pads. They only last a year or two before they started shedding black plastic. I was going to reorder, but reviewers said they went cheap on materials and are not as good as they used to be, so I bought some authentic AT replacement pads. It took me more than 30 minutes and more than a little swearing to get them on. After that, I realized the Authentic AT pads are extremely uncomfortable. Next time (which may not be very long) I'm going to use these again.
I am really sorry to hear that! We use the same materials that most headphones brands use these days. In terms of real leather however, we are very much against using real animal leather for ear pads. The lifespan will be very dependant on how you use the headphones the most & by how much you actually sweat in them. People who sweat heavily (like me) will have their ear pads deteriorate much faster than people who barely sweat. However, there are some things you can do to extend the life of your ear pads regardless of how much you sweat & we made a video for it here: ua-cam.com/video/p9macrrnW-Q/v-deo.html&lc=Ugy3Lbiw1MZOJ1v3wrJ4AaABAg. Looking forward to your next order. Also, our pads comes with a 1 year warranty, but you can still reach out to us even after and we will take care of that for you.
I own two pairs of the 50's in my recording studio and i abostely love them. That said, when you get ear pads replacements that are this big it completely changes the sound of the headphones. This is literally pushing them further away from your ears so just something to consider. However i did check out your website and they seem like great quality. I think they're more suitable for people who don't do professional work with headphones just for just listening to music, etc. Thumbs up #101
We have seen some very rare cases that for some reason the earpads are GLUED. We have no idea why, but 99% of the earpads are not suppose to be glued at all
@@WickedCushions So I actually did manage to get them off and there wasn't glue (I don't think). HOWEVER, they were EXTREMELY STIFF compared to the ones in this video. That is why they did not come out as easy. Not sure if they were made like that or if it was due to age but that was the exact reason they didn't come off easily. Also I had to use a lot more effort (not as gentle) and push inward from up top to get them out versus the sides. Still pulling but with a lot more effort.
I just got my replacement earpads today and worked as a charm on my ATH M50x, not only comfortable but sound is quite a lot better now, good, product, thanks... Oh and the video helped me do the change pretty fast
Ordered a set of these off of amazon after noticing the ear pads on my M40s were sticking to papers on my desk and leaving black marks. They got good reviwes on amazon and seem to be favorable here, so I ordered them and can't wait for them to show up.
Thank you for this! I was attacked by a drunk while I had my headphones on, and the ear pad came off partially. I thought I had to glue it or something. But after watching this, I noticed the pad had just come off part of the way and was able to put it back on. Glad I watched this before I started gluing!!
Great tutorial! Short and to the point! Though, for the life of me, I can’t understand why you replaced the old pads with treble-trapping pads for cans that have excessive treble??
@@WickedCushions No, I wanted to reduce the treble, not enhance it XD Non-perforated ear pads are not recommended by sound engineers, technicians (nor people like “DMS” and “Z Reviews”) alike when one wants to reduce treble frequencies from their ATH-50x’s. Unless, your company wants to argue that closed leather pads do not cause bass and treble echoing....
Do your pads suffer from the same fate as Brainwavz, the foam over the driver is too thin for the M50x leading to ear bleeding treble, neutered bass, and crushed mids? I tried to get a good look to see how “see through” they are, to no avail. I just got my M50x yesterday and the stock pads are already bugging the crap out of me, especially pressing against my glasses. Are these memory foam too like other brands? I’m about to pull the trigger on yours or the hybrids. I like what people are saying about yours on Amazon.
Wicked Cushions I haven’t tried the other brand yet. I don’t like having to send stuff back. So, these are TRULY aftermarket made for the M50 & M40, that’s encouraging! They aren’t some “they also fit yadda yadda but were designed for blah blah”. Cool, I’ll check your website for warranty info etc.
Wicked Cushions ok, pack em up and ship em out, lol, can’t wait! I was really afraid I was going to pay $50 and settle for something that wasn’t going to get the job done properly.
I just bought my M50x and I like them a lot but I'm not liking the stock pads at all as they are small enough for ears that it actually hurts. How are you liking these earpads? I'm about to purchase them but I'm nervous it'll affect the sound quality. Thanks!
I just installed the velour on my ath-m50s. Very comfy. Installation was a bit tricky but I got it done. Headphones still sound great. I recommend. I also got a Defean headband cover which was a real pain to get on but it works well.
The only way to understand it is to buy a $10 cushion and compare it to our cushion, nothing I will say will make you understand that better than that. We do not make headband cushions, I am sorry :/
i've got the m40x and with the new pad, the sound is very different ! now I have very more natural bass and a very better stereo soundstage, it's an other headphone !!
Hard to say. These sound marginally different than the originals. I'm inclined to say the originals sound better, but these are more comfortable because they are larger so they fit around my whole ear. The sound isolation is better than the originals too.
Seem like a great business, wish you guys had brown ones to match the color of me green and brown headphones.. I like some of the other colors and styles you guys have though. Not sure which i want to buy though. Might just end up buying white.
How much do these change the sound? because with other pads they are said to push the driver so much further away from your ear every centimeter counts. Do you guys make any that will fit the logitec G933?
any difference between sound difference from the leather to the velour, im leaning towards the velour, any differences i should know, and which would you recommend.
hello, i've got the m40x and with the new red pads in velour from amazon, I have very better natural bass, and a better stereo ... but a little too much mid ... this is because is in velour ? the sound is awesome, but too much around 1kHz now .... sounds better with great pad like in your video ?
Yeah,but the most important information i need is:How does it affect the sound?I know all earpads change the sound ,but the question is hoe much and for better or worse
I have a pair of ATH-M50XWH and the ear pads are pretty much like yours.. except they were flaking off and would stick to my face LOL I just ordered an official replacement for $25, I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 PRO headphones.. it's CRAZY to me that the Sennheiser headphones I have are $99 brand new, and the Audio Technica are $250 new on newegg and $170 on amzn.. but to me the Sennheiser sound so much better. They have better bass in my opinion. The ear pads are also bad on those.. but I ended up replacing the Audio Technica cause I like how you can put different cords on them, and they can fold up.. Have you ever used the Sennheiser hd 280 pro before? if so, what are your opinion on the two compared?
From reading amazon reviews these change the sound so much that you cant identify your headphones anymore (They seem to ruin the mid-range). Youd probably want to stick to the original ones and just replace them by original ones once theyre worn out.
Hey Jimmy , please follow what we sent to you via email and let us know. Don't be afraid to pull the ear pads, just make sure it won't rip and get stuck in the gap.
I just checked my headphones and discovered that the stock earpads had stuck together. When I pulled them apart all of the coating came off! It got really gummy and just dissolved.
Just to be clear, noise cancelling can be assisted by the pads, but what most people think nowdays is actually ACTIVE noise cancelling (which is an electronic feature that actually helps block out the sound) No cushion by itself will completely cancel noise, but there are levels to it. Our velour - least noise cancelling Our PU Leather - Medium level Out Cooling gel pads - Highest level of noise cancelling All can be found in the link here wickedcushions.com/collections/ath-m50x-replacement-ear-pads
@@WickedCushions Thank you for the reply! I have noise in my walls in the apartment due to pipes and elevator room near me. I guess I'll go with the cooling gel ones.
A possibly idiotic question but the thicker aspect of cushions goes over the back of ears, right? Because I had it the other way round and the sound was a bit muffed.
Are the ear cups supposed to come off that easy? I've have had my m50x's for almost 6 years now and for the life of me, I cannot remove the ear pad. It starts tearing the faux leather rather than sliding off smoothly like in this video. Now I'm beginning to wonder if my model of m50x are older and the ear pads are non-removeable.
We have recently been exposed to some models that the pads were actually even glued a little to the cups. Most models is just slips off immediately, the one's like you are describing need some force
@@multi2976 Yes, I was. I bought new ear cups a while back. You just have to give them a little force and as the creator of this video said, they might be glued. So just keep pulling and it should be fine. Installing the new ones took like 10 seconds each, very easy :)
My short review (of the velour version): +Super Comfy +Easier to put on than it seems +Seem Durable and well made but time will tell -meh isolation compared to originals +/- require a little while to get used to because they feel very different and are bigger than the originals I bought the velour ones from Amazon and I like them very much so far. Velour is so much more comfy than leather imo! so much better than the original. Wicked Cushions, it would be much more consumer friendly to simply drop the prices by 15% than get coupons from your site... or save the coupon ticket from the ones I bought for a year later only to find out I lost it (after looking for it for an hour)... Shame the hinge of my left earphone is broken and I can only temporarily repair it. I'll probably end up buying new headphones on black Friday. stupid audio technica engineers and their hinges... :|
I understand the logic behind coupons I just think physical coupons are annoying because I have to keep a lot of them for years and then they're hard to find. Maybe attach my coupon to my amazon account or something? idk... yea! I did fix it with paperclips. It's just not a perfect fix
They're definitely worth it if your ears are even slightly larger or thicker than people with medium/small ears or people who wear glasses. Just got them today but as far as comfort goes they feel better than the originals which I could only stand for half an hour before it hurt.
Hey @Coffee Break Hero, can you give me a new review about the ear pads? :) do you still use them, are they still in good condition and would you recommend me to get them too? I love my ATH M50X, but the ear pads are rather uncomfortable now after 3 years of use, so I'd love to upgrade them a little :)
do you know how to remove the whole earpiece from these headphones. mine took a drop to the floor and the tiny plastic protuberance - which pokes into and moves in the groove inbetween the 2 silver circles where the "L" and "R" labels are, which stops the earpiece from rotating right around beyond their designed arc of movement - has broken off. I need to remove the earpiece so i can attempt glueing it back on....?
no worries, i found a full deconstruction guide here : www.head-fi.org/threads/full-ath-m50-deconstruction.586304/. will take a close look at it and see if it is doable for me. btw, your wicked cushions look like a good idea, i know what you mean about the pain after extended wearing time, and i wear glasses which probably makes it worse too....

The price of your replacement cushions is pretty high. I don't understand it.

Does the sound change from using these earpads from the original?

Thanks, now for apparently the hard part.... anyone have opinions on which is better the faux leather, Velour Memory Foam or "other"?
any difference between sound difference from the leather to the velour, im leaning towards the velour, any differences i should know, and which would you recommend.
Already purchased the non velour, they are nice but they do get a little warm, but its a tradeoff im willing to take.
hello, i've got the m40x and with the new red pads in velour from amazon, I have very better natural bass, and a better stereo ... but a little too much mid ...
this is because is in velour ? the sound is awesome, but too much around 1kHz now .... sounds better with great pad like in your video ?

Lol! 😂 😆
What is the size of the ear pads...? If anyone knows plse let me know
Hey. So do i have the possibility to change the color?
Yeah,but the most important information i need is:How does it affect the sound?I know all earpads change the sound ,but the question is hoe much and for better or worse
Most reviews are positive!
Will these fit the Hyperx Cloud 2 headset? The gaming ones are not sold on Amazon. Thank you.
Interesting. Do you make cushions / pads for the Steelseries Arctis Pro line? Or, do these fit?
I have a pair of ATH-M50XWH and the ear pads are pretty much like yours.. except they were flaking off and would stick to my face LOL I just ordered an official replacement for $25, I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 PRO headphones.. it's CRAZY to me that the Sennheiser headphones I have are $99 brand new, and the Audio Technica are $250 new on newegg and $170 on amzn.. but to me the Sennheiser sound so much better. They have better bass in my opinion. The ear pads are also bad on those.. but I ended up replacing the Audio Technica cause I like how you can put different cords on them, and they can fold up.. Have you ever used the Sennheiser hd 280 pro before? if so, what are your opinion on the two compared?
I honestly never used any Sennheiser before :(
Thanks bro!
You're welcome!
how about the top overhead cusion? Cant find that anywhere
Its pretty difficult to replace, that is why.
But we are working on a fabric cover that will wrap around it! hopefully it will be out soon
Easy as that.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Awesome!!! THank you!
You are so welcome!

How this affects the sound of m50's?
From reading amazon reviews these change the sound so much that you cant identify your headphones anymore (They seem to ruin the mid-range).
Youd probably want to stick to the original ones and just replace them by original ones once theyre worn out.
@Eric Barut That should still affect sound though.
I have the ATH-M50x model. The original pads don't look like they're removable. Please advise.
Hey Jimmy , please follow what we sent to you via email and let us know. Don't be afraid to pull the ear pads, just make sure it won't rip and get stuck in the gap.
I just checked my headphones and discovered that the stock earpads had stuck together. When I pulled them apart all of the coating came off! It got really gummy and just dissolved.
You are the 3rd person I have seen have that, its such an odd situation, because 99% of the ATH headset never use glue.
NICE, THANK YOU !
Cheers
You're welcome! Enjoy!
Thanks someone played with my headphones and the ear piece fell off and this worked
How do I know left and right ??
There is no left and right on ATH earpads, they are interchangeable
just ordered a pair. here's to hoping they're thicker and preserve the sound better than the disgustingly bad sounding velour brainwavez pads.
How were they ? After a month
says 3 replies but there are 2. did you remove a comment?
Are they good?
4/5 I'd buy again
any update please??? how are they?
Is the inside diameter bigger then the original cushion?
Helloo what is the diameter of the pad? My 95mm earpads need replacement
Can I ask, where did you buy the new ear pads from?
We sell earpads, our links are in the description
Are these new pads full noise cancelling pads?
Just to be clear, noise cancelling can be assisted by the pads, but what most people think nowdays is actually ACTIVE noise cancelling (which is an electronic feature that actually helps block out the sound)
No cushion by itself will completely cancel noise, but there are levels to it.
Our velour - least noise cancelling
Our PU Leather - Medium level
Out Cooling gel pads - Highest level of noise cancelling
All can be found in the link here

@@WickedCushions Thank you for the reply! I have noise in my walls in the apartment due to pipes and elevator room near me. I guess I'll go with the cooling gel ones.
A possibly idiotic question but the thicker aspect of cushions goes over the back of ears, right? Because I had it the other way round and the sound was a bit muffed.
Hey, I don't quite understand the question, can you by any chance send me a photo of what you mean to cs@wickedcushions.com
Merci pour la vidéo. 👍
You're welcome!
Thanks!!! Great!!!!
You're welcome!
Will the new pads peel and flake? I want replacement pads for Audio-Technica ATH-M40x that will NOT peel and flake.
Well, leather earpads WILL peel one day. It's inevitable, but you can choose a high durability one
the only thing that worries me is if they change too much de original sound stage of the M50's
You can always return them if they do! we offer a 365 day warranty
Which earpads are those? DO they ship to The Netherlands Europe too? Kind regards
Hey Robin , you can find these ear pads on this link: wickedcushions.com/collections/ath-m50x-replacement-ear-pads
And yes, we ship to Netherlands.
Are the ear cups supposed to come off that easy? I've have had my m50x's for almost 6 years now and for the life of me, I cannot remove the ear pad. It starts tearing the faux leather rather than sliding off smoothly like in this video. Now I'm beginning to wonder if my model of m50x are older and the ear pads are non-removeable.
We have recently been exposed to some models that the pads were actually even glued a little to the cups.
Most models is just slips off immediately, the one's like you are describing need some force
same for me, the stitching is coming apart when applying force but the pads won't even move. were you able to remove them?
@@multi2976 Yes, I was. I bought new ear cups a while back. You just have to give them a little force and as the creator of this video said, they might be glued. So just keep pulling and it should be fine. Installing the new ones took like 10 seconds each, very easy :)
Do these work with the m20x?
Yah
My short review (of the velour version):
+Super Comfy
+Easier to put on than it seems
+Seem Durable and well made but time will tell
-meh isolation compared to originals
+/- require a little while to get used to because they feel very different and are bigger than the originals
I bought the velour ones from Amazon and I like them very much so far. Velour is so much more comfy than leather imo! so much better than the original.
Wicked Cushions, it would be much more consumer friendly to simply drop the prices by 15% than get coupons from your site... or save the coupon ticket from the ones I bought for a year later only to find out I lost it (after looking for it for an hour)...
Shame the hinge of my left earphone is broken and I can only temporarily repair it. I'll probably end up buying new headphones on black Friday. stupid audio technica engineers and their hinges... :|
They just want you to get another pair.
you can fix the hinge problem using paperclips.
I understand the logic behind coupons I just think physical coupons are annoying because I have to keep a lot of them for years and then they're hard to find.
Maybe attach my coupon to my amazon account or something? idk...
yea! I did fix it with paperclips. It's just not a perfect fix
They're definitely worth it if your ears are even slightly larger or thicker than people with medium/small ears or people who wear glasses. Just got them today but as far as comfort goes they feel better than the originals which I could only stand for half an hour before it hurt.
Hey @Coffee Break Hero, can you give me a new review about the ear pads? :) do you still use them, are they still in good condition and would you recommend me to get them too?
I love my ATH M50X, but the ear pads are rather uncomfortable now after 3 years of use, so I'd love to upgrade them a little :)
Does it come as a pair or do you have to order 2 pieces?
Its a pair :)
do you know how to remove the whole earpiece from these headphones. mine took a drop to the floor and the tiny plastic protuberance - which pokes into and moves in the groove inbetween the 2 silver circles where the "L" and "R" labels are, which stops the earpiece from rotating right around beyond their designed arc of movement - has broken off. I need to remove the earpiece so i can attempt glueing it back on....?
no worries, i found a full deconstruction guide here : www.head-fi.org/threads/full-ath-m50-deconstruction.586304/. will take a close look at it and see if it is doable for me. btw, your wicked cushions look like a good idea, i know what you mean about the pain after extended wearing time, and i wear glasses which probably makes it worse too....
Thank you
You're welcome!
