Are the ear pads replaceable? I assume that the ear pads will fray out after some time of use.

Not too sure, however I can vouch for their durability. Keep them away from sharp objects and they should last for the life of the headphones.

I'd also like to know the answer to this... I looked on sennheiser's website and nothing re: replacement pads there. I think they're trying to jack us by making you buy an entirely new set if you lose your pads.

Sorry. I've not had to replace mine, yet. That sure is a horrible thought, because I really love my headset. You must really use yours a lot.

Unfortunately, the earpads on that model cannot be removed. I ended up replacing it with a AD900X, which does have replaceable earpads.

I've had mine for about 8-9 months and they seem fine. Good as new. The only downside is that I use them day-to-day and not in a studio, so I have to tie up the length of it, but that's not a durability issue. The audio jack has been a little iffy lately, but I'm not sure if that's my phone or the headphones.

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

They are a very good replacement product for your device - my best guess is that each pair of pads has about 30 uses before they need to be replaced.

I've had the headphones for about 2 weeks now and haven't had to change them. I've use them on high for 25 hours now and haven't had any indication that they need to be changed soon.

Yeah, they are pretty durable for earbuds in this price range. I use them all the time (like 4 hours a day) they are in and out of my pocket and my kids play with them. They last me about 7 - 10 months, I guess.

TV ears are great. The only contrary remark is if you should break the metal band between the ear pods. Do not expect them to replace or repair. I sent a pair to their address in So Cal along with the broken ear pods/band with my approval to repair or replace with my credit card number. They NEVER responded in any form... Other than that they are worth the cost. Thank you for asking. DP

I just examined mine pretty thoroughly, and I see no evidence of any asymmetry going on with the pads. They are somewhat of an oblong shape, but that is the same with both....Maybe yours are defective in some way? I would call Philips, maybe you could ask them how you would go about replacing these earpads as well, since there appears to be no way to do it.....

I bought mine many months ago and they still work. I have learned to be gentle with earphones, because I really got tired of having to continually buy new ones. Just don't be rough and they should last a while.

No, I haven't had any problems with the ones I have. I/my wife puts them on her I Pad strap and it hasn't ever broken. I have also used them in the pad ear plug with no problem. Hopes this helps?

Everything is rock olid after 2 years use. However the earpads have cracked and worn down, which I replaced.

I contact Klipsch support since the seams on my M40 ear pads had seperated within the 2-year warranty. I was told they no longer have ear pads since the headphones are discontinued. That is certainly a poor excuse given that they are within warranty. I certainly won't be making any future purchases from Klipsch based on this poor after sales support. Perhaps a different brand of headphones has a comparable sized replacement ear pad that will fit these? Has anyone found such a match? Considering the cost I'm not ready to throw them away.

I don't use the phones very often so I am not testing their durability in anyway. They did test my durability when I recently used them on a cross-country flight. They became uncomfortable in my ears after a few hours. I had to remove them after about 4 hours.

You can get the OEM pads for a relatively low price here: https://sony.encompass.com/item/5410896/Sony/3-246-367-01/Pad_Ear
