WC Wicked Cushions Replacement Ear Pads for Sony MDR 7506 | Softer Leather, Luxurious Memory Foam, Unmatched Durability | Compatible with MDR 7506 / MDR V6 / MDR CD900ST | (PU Leather)

I've had my Sony headphones for a number of years. I bought them based on a Wirecutter review. They serve me well. In the last year however the leather on the ear cushions started flaking off. I finally gave up and decided to order replacement ear cushions. After reading a lot of various reviews here on Amazon I decided to try these.The installation is pretty straightforward. Peel the old cushions and and put these in their place. Since you want these to fit snug it takes a little finagling to get everything in its proper place. No special tools required.As far as performance these do a great job. I've worn them a few hours at a time and no heating or fatigue from the ear cushions themselves. I gave four stars on the noise cancellation as I didn't expect these to perform that function. They do a great job of minimizing the noise around me but I can still hear the louder noises or if someone is talking to me. Obviously a lot depends on the playback volume. I don't listen to anything any louder than necessary.So overall rating is excellent. Very nice replacement for the Sony cushions. Long term wear is comfortable without getting hot or sticky. Installation is simple and the product fits very snuggly so it won't fall off easily.

The pads are very easy to install and are very comfortable.In terms of size, they are slightly thicker than the original SONY and BEYERDYNAMIC DT250 pads which I've had earlier - thus forcing you to adjust the width up by one notch when wearing the headphones (at least in my case) , which is decent.As for frequency response, I'd say that these pads provide crisp and clear trebles , with LESS bass response and overall volume compared to BEYERDYNAMIC DT250 .Overall , they're a great buy !

TL:DREasy install, better material quality, better foam, better long term wearing comfort, better sound seal than the Sony original pads. Such a good design they should be the OEM supplier for Sony.Full review:These pads fit both the MDR V6 and the 7506 due to them sharing the same aluminum ear cup design. The difference between the V6 and 7506 is purely in the internal drivers and color printed on the ear cups. The V6 is more balanced while the 7506 has a little more bass response.I use my MDR V6's almost every day, for several hours a day. The original Sony pads would have pressure spots and tension headaches after a couple of hours. My prescription glasses would break the sound seal and noise rejection would suffer from it. The Sony pads also jammed my glasses frames into my head, increasing the pressure. I thought I just had to deal with this lack of comfort due to me wearing glasses and not knowing Wicked Cushions existed.Last year, my original Sony pads started wearing out and falling apart. The vinyl broke down and literally peeled right off the foam in strips about 1/4" wide, all around the headphones, starting in the ear cavity and radiating out to the outside of the ear cups. I bought my first set of Wicked Cushions for my V6's then. What a night and day difference!These Wicked Cushions fit like the original Sony's on the ear cups, but have a lot of significant upgrades in comfort, longevity, and sound seal. Wicked Cushions are much more supple of a material, with better, softer padding, and better noise rejection and a better seal to your head, even around my prescription glasses. I get no pressure points after long uses and can go for hours with no headaches. The foam is soft and the leather supple. I put them through a 10 hour flight in October 2019, without removing them once, while wearing my glasses, and felt no pressure points from the long listening usage.Honestly, these pads should be the original pads that came with the V6 and 7506 as they perfected the issues the original design had.This order was to replace my wife's original pads, which had also started to break down like mine did. My Wicked's are still going strong 13 months later! Based on the quality I'm sure both of ours will be going strong years from now!

I bought these pads for my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. I've had the headphones since 2011, this is about the 4th or 5th set of replacement pads - the PU leather degrades and falls apart over time. Always bought OEM replacement pads, this is the first time I've bought pads from a third-party. Very pleased with them, they're high-quality manufacture with reinforced stitching on the leather edges and stretchy enough to easily pull over the plastic frame of the headphones. They're very comfortable to wear, fit well and do a great job of blocking ambient room noise. Have to see how they hold up over time but I'm optimistic, I already like them better than the OEM ones, just better construction overall.
