Are the ear pads leather or pleather? If pleather, can they be replaced with Beyerdynamic EDT250V velour ear pads when they wear out?

I just put on a set of EDT250V pads, they do fit. However, the sound is slightly altered. It is slightly more scooped (more mid-range absorbed by the Beyerdynamic pads). Anyone try something different? I want a pad that gives a little more room and comfort so my ears don't touch the harder plastic.

Leather pads, I believe Sony themselves sells replacement pads but there are other pads you can put in from other Manufacturers

Keep them in the case whenever youre not using them and youll be fine.The earpads may get discoloured over time but if you do take good care of them, they will last.

I like these velour earpads...they're a lot more comfortable for long periods of use than the originals.

They come with soft vinyl ear pads but you can buy the velour pads for them here on Amazon.com. In my opinion, I never had a problem with the vinyl ear pads as the sound quality of these headphones far outweigh such a minor thing as ear pads.

You can try looking up ebay for individual parts or send an email to Audio Technica USA. I don't know if it's just me but customer service was exceptionally nice. They sent a replacement head rest a year after initial purchase. In the email I, included my address and the invoice order/# from Amazon as proof which i screen shot. I believe they may do the same for your ear pads or provide info on possible spares. Other than that, you may have to look up audiophile forums.

Bought mine circa 2006. The leatherette has worn away significantly but I did not take care of it--I have ear piercings so that no doubt helped contribute to it wearing away. The 'phones still sound excellent and the rest is equally as well. : )

I was wondering the same thing! I had a puppy chew one ear pad but the headphones are not damaged! So, instead of spending money on a new pair of headphones, I'd like to buy replacement pads!!

I'm in the same boat. The earpads on my MDR-CD770 are pretty tore up. I need to find replacements. Any ideas?

The ear piece does not come off but the cushion is quality. Like Natalia said the ear piece is genuine leather that is soft to the touch. Another thing about the headphones is that your ear will not touch the inner padding which makes it very comfortable. I am not sure how the headphones stand up to time since mine are fairly new at around 2-3 months but I can say with the amazing build quality they should last for a long time.

Possibly, but likely not with a satisfactory result. Many ear pads are constructed of vinyl over fabric. This product creates a soft plastic coating, but is not really intended to bond to cloth or other soft materials. I'd suggest contacting the manufacturer of the headphones for replacement ear pads if the headphones were expensive.

They aren't overly comfortable, if you want something super comfortable go with Beyerdynamic honestly they are better headphones.

I don't think it is real leather - but pleather. Also - I replaced my stock pads with the Brainwavz HM5 pads and increased both comfort and sound exponentially. Great headphones for the price.

Samuel, I have the same headset as you. I have not ordered these pads yet. Have you been successful in finding a correct pad? If so, what are they? Chuck S.
