    this is an excellent mod to do! Lotta times new pads can change the sound of the cans for the worse, but mdr 7506+the beyerdynamic ear pads = one of the best headsets on the planet in terms of sound quality, comfort, and i think with the valuer pads they look a lot nicer too :) these mdrs have been an audiophile gold standard for 15 years, their big weakness were the pads - but with the beyerdynamic pads they are literally PERFECT.

      Alex R not shure if they’re audiophile rated. But they sound great.

    Great video! That foam is more than just protection for the driver -- the amount and type of foam insert will actually affect the sound. For example, if you have headphones that are too bright - you can add a disc or two (or three) of Bounty paper towel to reduce high frequencies. Felt and shelf liner also have different frequency reduction properties... These are used in acoustic mods to change EQ at the source.

    I did this pad change due to my original pads falling apart. I appreciate the change in feel.
    Holding the original driver covers up to the light (to see through them) and comparing them to the replacement covers, they looked pretty identical in terms of density. I do not believe the new pads muffle anything. However, the response did change some - or more accurately my listening experience changed. There is more bass now. However, the detail of the mids and highs are still available, in my opinion. Your EQ settings may need to change.
    Personally, I found the stock MDR 7506 lacking in the low frequency range, and I welcome the change. I think they are now better headphones.

      Yep, i confirm , there is more bass with the beyer covers, it delete those super hi freq wich annoyed me but keeps detailled sound so i prefere now too

      Can confirm the better sound upgrade with the pads. I don't entirely get why though.

    • @MoneyICT

      MDR 7606 are made for flat sound, that's the purpose of it and i prefer buying the same pads.

    Ive just done the change of earpads, exactly like you did in this video. I like the comfort and im surprised how much noise from the outisde gets blocked now! BUT I must say the Sound totally changed, it feels pretty weird ( Ive just changed the pads 1 hour ago). Im not really into EQ, all i can tell is the sound feels more distand and a less detailled somehow. Ill keep it for now and test it a couple of days to see if the change was worth it

      After a while, what do you think of the earpad swap? Was it worth it? I love my Sony cans but the pads are starting to flake off.

    Congrats, while I do agree that the velour ones are more comfy over the original pleather ones (ie, less sweaty with extended listening sessions), you also lost some of the lower bass response, because velour pads don't seal against the sides of your head as well as the pleather ones. Test it yourself. Put one of each kind on each cup, then listen to some music music with extended/lower bass notes/tones. Anyway, I replaced my worn out stock pads, with another pleather set from eBay (only $2 for oval 7506 replacements), after that the lower bass response returned. I'm 100% happy again.

    Thanks, have you seen what original pads looks like? I bought one, bit expensive compared to competitors- but the material looks really cheap like wrinkled thin skin, foam is not thick and diameter not 1:1 with the plastic rim where it wraps. 🤔 . I beginning to doubt if really genuine pad.

  • @Agent-vj3ns

    You forgot to mention how the velour pads change the soundstage for the worse. Try sheepskin memfoam. Proper bass response and noise isolation.

    i presume these will work with the sony 7520 monitors, too, given they share the same design/measurement?
    how does the velour change the sound vs the oem synthetic oem ones by sony...those standard sony ones get hot real fast on my ears.

  • @bubisamongus
    @bubisamongus 9 років тому +2

    I see here about the signifiant change of sound. Have any of you noticed that the Beyerdynamic ear pad has holes on the backside of the pad ? They absolutely change the sound besides just the pad covering the driver. get the factory pads from Sony and don't mess with these cans as they have been awesome for so long why mess with them?

    • @dorkenshire3680
      @dorkenshire3680 7 років тому

      ROFL.... pull the foam off the back of the pads that came with your MDRs youll see the same holes. if those holes were there youd sweat a lot more.

    I did this 5 years ago with my 18 year old pair of 7506's. Pads still looks like new. Remember 750'6s are used as monitors and DJ headphones, they aren't made to listen to or make music with.

    The Sony earpads have foam built in so you'll need some kind of foam to keep it sounding the same.

    Highly not recommended to change with velour pads on 7506, V6 and CD900ST ( unless you want to lose signature detail and mid-range ) use only OEM, aftermarket synthetic "pleathers" or at least hybrid type if you can find any.

    • @arturpagoni8129
      @arturpagoni8129 8 років тому

      +metring073 I absolutely agree here. Ordered myself a pair of these Beyerdynamic velour pads as replacement for my old and worn out mdr-v6 pads... completely disappointed... these otherwise brilliant headphones sound completely stupid with those velour pads... as you have mentioned, the midrange is completely gone. I am now considering buying the "soft skin" version of these pads, the Beyerdynamic edt 250s pads, let's see maybe they do the job...

    • @CT37BN

      There is a genuine sheep skin ear pads called Auray that fits V6, 7506, CD900ST. Also there is an offbeat "gel-filled" ear pads called Remote Audio HN-7506!

    • @arturpagoni8129

    • @CT37BN

      Good price.. but Aurays are genuine sheepskin and very soft/comfortable. Really worth getting. ( www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/888545-REG/Auray_eps_mdr7506_Genuine_Sheepskin_Leather_Earpads.html )

  • @h277246
    @h277246 9 років тому

    I think you should cut out the foams of the original Sony's pads and use them than using the Beyer's one. The sound quality changes a lot when you change the foams.
    I did the same thing above.
