How is the quality of the earpad material?

The ear pad material is thin but comfortable. I'm on my 3rd set of these headphones and the padding easily lasts through the their working lifetime which is 6 months to a year in my case.

It is very nice and durable, but i recommend protecting it from snags like any other headset. In the best case they will last two years.

I believe the the quality is great. I wear them while working out and I sweat a lot and not problems as of yet.

I've bought several sets of these ear phones and I'm still on my first set. The ear pad material has lasted for at least a year and feels great. The ear phones are very light and the sound is great. I walk a couple of hours a day with my head phones on they are very comfortable.

I've been wearing them to the gym almost daily. They are very durable (cord is thicker than others that I've had). The actual silicone earbuds themselves will eventually wear out. They come with about 6 sets of replacements so that shouldn't be an issue either.

I think they feel like you would expect them to. it's not hollow plastic, so it feels denser, but it is very plasticky. People around you cannot hear what you are listening to. They are "open" in the sense that they aren't noise cancelling as much as one with leather or faux leather are, but they don't allow the speakers to be heard much even if the headset is around your neck.

Seems like it (didn't take a ruler to it), never really thought about those things, but the headphones felt like they were brand spanking new. Good sound isolation, comfortable, and the process of getting them on was quite simple. Just remember that with all of these pads, you gotta keep them out of sun and moisture to prevent deterioration.

It certainly looks and feels like leather. I use them a lot and the headband is very comfortable. If it wasn't leather, I believe it would be showing some wear by now. The sound is great for the price.

No, it's fine. I prefer this to a headset or ear buds. THe tubes offer "some" protection, I feel. Go with it.

It's real leather,plus on their website you can order the thicker ear pads which are ultra plush.Also with them being thicker it enhances bass.

It is quite comfortable, you hardly notice that you have them on. I opted for some upgrade ear cushions that I bought on Amazon for $3.00, had to wait a few weeks since they came from Hong Kong. Now they are even more comfortable. The sound is enjoyable with a quality amplifier.

Though they are not noise-cancelling as Bose sells, I find they have superb clamping that drowns out much of the noise, yet the big, leather earpads are comfortable. They won't fall off your head either as they are well-made and not flimsy.

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.

I do some pretty vigorous bike riding and mow the lawn with them with no issues. They come with 4 different sizes of removable soft ear pieces. I went one size smaller than the factory installed ones for a better more secure fit. Hope this helps.

seem to be pleather IMO. But for better comfort and sounding, i recommend to buy a AD900 velour pads from Audio technica for 11$ shipped. Fit like a glove, feel like a bunch of clouds on your ears.

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.

Seem fairly sweat resistant. The earpads are a vinyl skin and the rest seems to be vinyl or PVC - or metal. Would be easy to keep clean.

My ear pad cushions have reached their end and to avoid paying around $30, I checked out some similar ear pads on amazon. I bought these (http://amzn.com/B00B1YWIZ4) and they fit the frame fine. They aren't exactly the same size, but they fit close enough. The foam is a bit stiffer, but I haven't noticed any significant differences. You might also try these (http://amzn.com/B00B6Z9BN0) though they don't have fabric across the ear hole. As J. Lin commented, a 7cm diameter seems to be close enough.

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

They're good in my opinion for listening to music/movies but they're nothing fancy. The mic quality seems good, I was told by people I talked with it was way better than before I got this headset so all I know is it isn't bad.
