Will these deteriorate at the same rate the original pads do? Are velour pads made for the M50s?

mine were of much better quality than the originals ,and if you check on head-fi you can find velour ear pads made for other models that have worked on the ATH-M50s

Yes. I've had mind for awhile now and they've always worked fine. Never had a problem until a ear pad tore.

I purchased replacement pads for these at a very reasonable price compared to the JVC replacement pads. They have a little less foam padding but the fit is good. I can't attest to how long they will last but at $3.50 per pad and shipping cost of $5.05, I only spent $12.05 for two pads.

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.

Perfectly, been using these for years. As an fyi, Get the cloth back pads they are much better than the plastic. The Above pads are great.

You can use HiFi Man pads perfectly with these--don't throw the backing foam out though. You will have to tug a bit and dump the ring around the HiFi man velour pads but the fit afterwards is sublime. What's you, you can find them on the net for $10.

pads for DT770 are fine with custom one pro. I have changed out the leather-like pads that came with my pair of custom one pro to the velour pads that came with DT770. they may change the sound signature somewhat but these pads are comfy!

I installed them about 2 years ago on my dining room chairs and have not needed to replace the pads or do any maintenance since then. The pads are quite thick and don't seem to wear or compress very much.

DT,wish I had a more definitive answer for ya,I'm not sure. My mechanic installed these bad boys for me and I'm sure he crapcanned the boxes it came in. Best bet is to go on the Akebono website and see if they list any "warranty info"...all I know is these pads are phenomenal. This is the 3rd car I've owned that have had these pads on and I can't say enough good things about the quality of these pads.

Just installed... Have not worn out the pads yet. It would be good to know for the future. Will be looking for that answer myself soon.

I don't know about those models. I looked at the shape of the pads before I ordered mine and they were exactly like the ones I previouslky had.

Not sure. We clean our pads in the washing machine and they are holding up great. Some reviews recommend hand wash which would prolong life.

no, they are quite soft though. I've had mine for about a year now and they have started to crack and become rough. it's by no means unbearable but it's not the same as the stock m50 ear pads

I have the pads on my M-50's on my ears right now. They fit well although they come off a little easier than the stock pads. They are a definite upgrade though.

I purchased from 2 different suppliers. Don't remember details, but I posted reviews on both. Quality on both was borderline, but so was quality of original pads ie. thin poorly cushioned. Only difference was one supplier sells one pad at a time and is therefore more expensive. Other sold in pairs so cheaper

Yes, I bought these with some trepidation, but was delighted to find that the pads matched exactly the factory ones I was replacing, except of course, the pads were not worn to nothing. Otherwise, and what would have bveen the point?

Absolutely. I have Ath-M50's. These replacements are gems compared to the stock ear pads. Do no hesitate to buy 2 pairs of these. At 14.00 a set, they are a bargain. So comfortable, very soft, and larger than the stock. No more ear pressure discomfort. If you realize that as time goes by, the M50's sound better as they get burned in, you will want at least 2 pair, because these headphones will last a long time. I love them.
