Has anyone used it enough to see wear on the Pleather earpads ? Has anyone looked at other pads (since Philips doesn't) that might fit these cans ?

Well, I've owned these cans since about October 2013 and I use them everyday at work during my lunch hour. The ear pads, head band and frankly, every part of these headphones wear like iron. They look as good as the day i purchased them. They're a real quality set. They look and feel luxurious. A GREAT investment! I forgot to mention, there is no plastic to be found anywhere you touch on these headphones. Most people mistake the black ear cups for plastic. They're actually aluminum.

Same, had them since about October 2013, use them daily and stuff them in a backpack, no wear to speak of. They're built like a tank and for not being real leather (although the head band is) they are excellent. Idk about other/replacement ones though, but so far don't need to either. Great cans.

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.

The question was whether the pads were upholstered in velour or 'pleather'... well, I'm a guy and so I had to go to Wikipedia to find out what velour is, and it is a fabric, but, no, the Headphones are done in this nice stuff that looks like leather, but doesn't stink when you get it wet... probably 'pleather'. Enjoy... those things are still going strong.

http://www.suntekstore.com/goods-10008917-replacement_ear_cup_pads_for_sony_mdr-v600_mdrv600_mdr-v900_earpads.html use these instead. The 80mm's are a little to small. I still use them on my wireless headphiones , but the other site noted here will be a perfect size for those wireless headphones.

The best combo is getting the SRH 840 earpads and replace them on the SRH 440. That was the first thing I did after recommendation and it's MUCH more comfortable. 15-20 buck investment

The only issue I had was the earpads. The red covering is a little loose. If you are referring an extended warranty, better safe than sorry. I have had no problems with the sound quality at all.

I hear you but never seen a larger pads possibility on any forum for this already fairly large/wide portable driver size. I also have the rival DT1350 from Beyer with smaller and softer pads for "big ears" but it too is "on ears" and not around although size is important for proper seals. I guess you have to live with the original design or buy a different sized headphone. I too wished for a bigger Cup here!

These seal out external sound very well. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD280 that have pleather ear pads, and the Beyers have comparable noise reduction. As an added benefit, these velour pads are much more comfortable for long-term wearing. The pleather ones make you sweat.

Hello: Yes, these pads are markedly deeper, probably by 50%, than the stock Sony pads. They're a lot more comfortable and sturdier, too. I really can't recommend them highly enough.

I had the Custom One Pros for a while and I *think* I put these pads on them just to try them and they fit just fine. Doing some Googling for "custom one pro velour earcups" it seems like other people have put the DT770 earcups on the Custom One Pro and they fit. They are all the same dimensions, so you should be good to go.Edit: Heh, looks like I did indeed leave a review saying I put them on the Custom One Pros. I still recommend getting the DT770 pads, since these are meant for the DT990s which are open. These don't seal the bass in enough -- even though the Custom One Pros have more than enough bass at the highest setting. I just think the sound is better with closed pads.

Just go to Amazon.com and type ear foam pads, there will be a lot of options to choose from. They were exactly what I was looking for, I am really pleased with the product!

I have the Beyerdynamic DT-990. I ordered these from Amazon and they are an acceptable replacement (Beyerdynamic EDT990VB Headphone Ear Pads Black). These are listed at $29.00. Fit was great. You can order directly from Beyerdynamic, but I'm not sure of the price or how long it would take to get them.

I use my cans without any EQ or enhancement, soany change in tone or depth is instantly apparent. The brake in was quick & noticeable, (about 2 days) but the smoothing factor is still ongoing after a month & a half. If mellow is your target be happy, 'cause mine continue to have subtle changes one day & then back to previous the next. It drives me crazy so I plan to mod the pads again for peace of mind.

Yup, earcups can be replaced. You can just search up Superlux HD668B replacement pads and should find some. I swapped mine for velours, much more comfortable. They're quite easy to swap too, no clips or anything, they just stretch over the drivers.

Yes---I am very happy with this product, and there is only one major drawback. The ear pads, should they somehow become detached are darn near impossible to put back
