BrainwavzProStock Perforated ATH M50X Upgraded Earpads, Improves Comfort & Style Without Changing Sound - Custom Crafted Ear Pad Design for ATH-M50X M50BTX M20X M30X M40X Headphones

This is a review of the Brainwavz Perforated earpads just in case it gets attached to anything else. I’ve had my AT M50x headphones for over four years and the earpads were disintegrating. I ordered these and was concerned about a nasty change in sound. My fears were unfounded. Changing the earpads was a little fiddly but took less than 10 minutes. I looked at the old ones and could see they were seriously worn with the old foam broken from the inside. The new pads were instantly more comfortable and they seem to have opened up the sound a little with a wider stereo soundstage. I think this is because they hold the actual noisy part of the headphone a little further from the ear. The sound also seems a little less harsh. Bowie’s Heroes album (always a real treble fest) seems to have less reverb now as though the sound is less closed in. Maybe this is the perforations in the foam making these more on ear sounding than over ear?? Whatever, I am very happy with these.

I bought these earpads to hope they could improve the fitting and sound of my k371bt, and they indeed do they job. Comfort improves significantly despite they look like on ear earpads, this may due to their thick and soft padding. What's more important is what they do to the sound. I bought other earpads but they either bring an excessive amount of bass or reduce soundstage significantly, but these earpads keep the neutral sound signature of my k371bt, vocals are separated better from the other parts of the track and these earpads make overall sound slightly brighter and clearer. On stock earpads k371bt sounds kinda boring for me but it becomes one of my favourite headphones with these pads. They also provide better seal than original pads. My only complain is the stitches aren't symmetrical on both earpads, and they're a bit expensive. Other than that they are nearly perfect earpads for my personal preference.

Perfect fit for my ATH50's and very comfortable.

Really comfortable, and sound is the same or even better than original pads.
