Earpads for Beyerdynamic DT Series - Comfortable Replacement Ear Pads for DT 990 Pro, Enhanced Sound Quality, Durable Design (Elite Fenestrated Sheepskin)

So far so good! installation was a bit annoying but I didn't take the time to use a hairdryer to loosen up the elastic. It wasn't superbly difficult but I could see how it would get frustrating as it seems like whenever you get one spot on the last undoes itself. I did get them on at a point, and once I did I noticed quite a sound quality change from my DT 770 80Ohm editions. There is definitely a change in audio quality from the stock velour pads to the Choice Leathers, and it is one that makes these headphones significantly more enjoyable. The first track I tried was the Ursula's Cartridges' remix of Climbing the Corporate Ladder, and right away there was significantly more impact in the low end, which is usually a lot lighter on Ursula's tracks. Soundstage also has opened up in a surprising way, directionally I can sense things a better, more reminiscent of an open back headphone, however you will still know these are closed. Higher frequencies are less piercing and stab your ears a lot less. The next track I listened to was 思い出, by t e l e p a t h. This track seldom is flattered by headphones, and I thought it sounded meh on the dt770 stock pads, however the track really opened up and sounded quite pleasing on these. Seems to grant slightly more clarity as well as the other benefits that this has. The third track that I listened to was Happy Cycling by Boards of Canada, and right away there is significantly more detail on the low end bass drum strike at the start of each measure. So much detail I can easily hear the grit on the strike of it. The song also feels to me like its presenting faster and tighter than it has before, very pleasing!I got these because I use my DT770's as my communication headphones as well as casual music listening. The outer noise attenuation is one of my priorities when I was considering a pad swap, and these seem to be a step-up in that department as well.Comfort is higher, I really liked the velour as it was very soft with the slightly intense clamp force of the dt770s, the leather seems a bit more firm and I don't quite like it. As the memory foam ages I am sure it will start to have more give, and as the headphones age I am sure they will also become more comfortable.After a few days of heavy use, I have determined that these pads are indeed quite nice. They make these headphones sound more full, with much more pleasing response and resolve. I have one slight complaint, as the sleeving that the cups use to hold onto the cans can be quite flimsy, and you may lose the earpad from time to time.All in all, I would absolutely recommend these to anyone wanting to take their DT770 pros to the next level. When comparing them to my HE-560 V4s I think they're a phenomenal challenger in the race that is "which my favorite pair of headphones."

I'm an adult computer enthusiast, a gamer, and I enjoy a variety of music and podcasts. My Astro headset died after years of use. In an effort to spend my money wisely, I did some research on my next headset. ZeosPantera and his Z Reviews helped me settle on the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation) as the headset of choice. I enjoyed his videos so much (despite knowing I simply do not fully appreciate sound in the way he and most of his audience does), I ended up watching a whole slew of them (and, I'll admit, still play a few every now and then -- I'm hooked). Anyways, in one of his videos, he runs through at least 10 variations of Dekoni Audio Replacement Ear Pads, using them on a dozen or so different sets of headphones/headsets, including the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation). For each, he ranks the ear pads and recommends what works best. For the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation), he gave this particular ear pad high marks. So, I splurged and bought them.First, these are very well made, and as I prepared to install them I had a chance to physically compare them to the stock ear pads. I'll tell you Beyerdynamic makes an excellent product, but they need to consider contracting with Dekoni because their pads are both visually superior and a tactile examination clearly reveals they are softer and made from superior materials.I installed them. Easy. These fit snug and are fully compatible. If you have MMX 300's, these work and fit very well.My ears aren't especially discriminating. Sure, I know what sounds good and what sounds like poop. The stock pads sound good and feel okay. I do wear glasses and the stock ones did over time hurt a bit, but that's what you get when you're old and got'ta wear specs. It's a tough life and you got'ta put up with some first-world problems, right? So, these new pads sound better. Don't look to me to tell you why or use the right words to describe it. They are just better. I like them. I think you will, too. Zeos agrees. Trust him. Look to him for the right words to explain how and why. I just don't have them to offer you.They're also much more comfortable. The first-worldw problem solved. They feel great, even when wearing them for hours. I'm happy I spent extra money on these pads after spending a bunch of money on some great headphones. If you're hemming-and-hawing over whether it's worth the extra costs, just do it. In the long run, you'll agree it was a worthwhile investment.Now, back to Z Reviews. They're fun.

Perfect headphone earpads. I used them to tune my Beyerdynamic Amiron wireless headphones, and they literally transform their sound, pushing the Beyers in a different dimension. With the original earpads, the Amiron sound pretty good, but lack bass. I tried the Dekoni Hybrid, fenestraed sheepskin, and sheepskin. In the end, I settled for the sheepskin version; the other two added too much sibilance to the sound, while the sheepskin do everything right. They are a must to bring the Amiron to the performance level they are capable of, and also add a new level of comfort.

Very comfortable, easy to install and fits perfectly after fiddling with it for a bit on my DT 990 pro. What's holding back the extra star is the thin fabric between the speaker and my ear. When I switched the stock ear pads to these, the audio quality was noticeably worse. I didn't think that thin fabric would cause such a quality loss, but after cutting the cloth and listening again, it's way better without it. If you do end up getting these, do yourself a favor and cut that fabric out.
