Ear Pads Cushion Replacement Earpads Pillow for Oppo PM-3 PM3 PM 3 Headphones rui

I chose the sheepskin leather which is the more expensive one and the fit is quite good. Replacement took about 5 to 10 minutes.Comfortable on the ears if a bit on the fluffy side.Sound is with better isolation compared to the old ones.Hopefully they will last longer and they will not start shred as quick to the original.Wish there was a replacement for the headband leather of the pm-3

I'll start by saying that these cost me $42AUD which is nearly half the price of the first party replacements that are still available through Oppo Digital ($79), so I decided to take a risk on the back of the overwhelmingly positive reviews.Installing the replacement pads is a real struggle, there are no instructions and it is extremely finicky -thankfully Simon's Amazon review provides in-depth instructions.Very important to note is that installation requires that you sacrifice your originals pads to cannibalise the plastic ring - this is a real issue should you not like these replacements. I would have much preferred to pay a few more dollars for the convenience and ability to retain the originals.Build quality is average and it is apparent on first inspection where the saving went. Stitching is inconsistent and they feel pretty average to the touch around the edges and stitching, which I found especially noticeable when removing. The leather coverage is a bit asymmetrical but would not be obvious at a glance.The ear opening is marginally smaller than the original and is slightly less comfortable for me. The foam is rather comfortable and I didn't notice a change in apparent clamping pressure. Similarly to Randy's review I found these replacements noticeably changed the sound profile - I found the mids and bass sounded muddied. Unfortunately there is no going back thanks to sacrificing the originals.In conclusion I simply cannot recommend these as long as first party replacements are still available. While the originals may be nearly double the price, they lasted nearly 5 years. When you consider that we are talking audiophile grade headphones, the rather small saving simply isn't worth it.

I own the PM3s and am willing to confirm they do indeed fit and the replacement process is very simple. Remove the existing earpads and plastic frame from the headphones by gently prying them apart. Remove the existing pads from the frame by peeling them off of the frame. Work the new earpads over the plastic frame, it can be a little finicky but not impossibly so. Replace the frame and new pads by firmly snapping the frame back into place.The only way this process could be complicated for you is if you have as many brain cells as you do hands.

This is a great replacement ear pad.The original ear pads were flaking badly - literally falling apart. Not sure why or what they were made of. A shame Oppo didn’t use better materials.I agree that it is extremely fiddly to change the ear pads over and it is annoying there are no instructions provided.As the photos show the ear pad is attached to the headphone via a plastic ring/frame. That is, the ear pad cushion is stretched over a plastic ring/frame and it is that ring/frame that clicks onto the headphone body itself.You start by removing the old ring/frame (which has the cushion stretched over it) by levering it off the body of the headphone.Use a plastic lever/spludger to separate the ear pad/frame away from the body of the headphone. It clicks apart but a bit of force is required.Once the ear pad/frame has been removed from the headphone body you then have to remove the actual cushion pad away from the plastic ring/frame. It just pulls off. Carefully examine how it fits on the frame as you remove it.You need to clean-scrape around the inner edge of the plastic frame where the pad was attached. Not sure if a light glue was used to help attach the ear pad to the frame or whether the gunk left behind on the frame is just residue from the perished foam pad.Fitting the new ear pad over the plastic ring/frame is very fiddly. You have to make sure it is fitted so it doesn’t cover any of the protruding clips.Use a spludger and your fingers to stretch it over the frame making sure you leave the plastic clips free.Once the new ear pad is fitted snugly on the frame you click the frame back onto the headphone body. It needs some force but you have to make sure it is lined up first. You should hear it click back into place.

This is the second time I have bought this product, shortly after my first buy. The product fits so nicely and is so comfortable that I decided to buy a backup, given the frequent use I make with the headphones. Thank you for an excellent product, which lengthens the life of the headphone itself.
