Does anyone know if the ear pads on these are replaceable? I understand that they are glued on and not replaceable on the X1.

Unfortunately they are not replaceable on the L1 and I'm certain they are glued on. Incidentally, the new Fidelio X2 headphones are due out soon and according to someone who asked Philips directly, the earpads on these are replaceable.

There's a user review posted on head-fi forum saying that Sony confirmed the difference to be only cosmetics and packaging. I own the XB920 and have tried store demo of the X10, and I find the builds quality almost identical, indicating at least the shell/housing is the same.

I also would like to know, my headphone pad is completly shredding...funny, the ear pads have lasted forever and they are available everywhere but I can't find anyone for the headband pad.....

I use them at work. I modified them by attaching a good set of earphones to it and removing the one which is part of the set. These are the usual earphones you would plug into your cellphone. This was done buy disassembling each one to do the headset change. With this change it works well. The spy gear you buy is sized for up to maybe 12 year old's so I have to wear it so the one mic picks up for speech.

Also these are not 299 headphones - the x1s are - so take the retail price with a grain of salt

I doubt if you can find just the headphones as a replacement. I had trouble finding them again because they've been discontinued and upgraded.

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

SONY PN: X-2380-814-1 (Unfortunately no longer available new) I need a pair as well! Black coating is flaking off and these are the second set bought & installed(self stick) from Sony, back on 10-13-01. The head phones sat in a box unused and still "dried out"! I just carefully picked off the flaking membrane and the yellow foam is still in very good shape.

I don't think so. The x41s have a detachable cord from the headset to the controller (headphone jack on both sides of the cord). This cord is a replacement for that.I think the headphone cord on the x1s are hardwired inside and don't detach like the 41s.

I'm in the same boat. The earpads on my MDR-CD770 are pretty tore up. I need to find replacements. Any ideas?

Yes they are replaceable, $29.95 from Bose. I can't tell you how long they hold up though, I'm a student pilot so mine haven't seen a ton of use yet.

I bought these as a replacement to the original model which I had for over 15 years. The reason for replacement was that one of the arms of the headset cracked off. I have enjoyed these, and think the quality is better, and I have had no problems with the working all the time. I would buy them again if given the choice. Don

I have 4 shuffles of the latest issue. The problem is with the X-1, as just touching the R ear bud will make the sound come in, but it will cut back out in a few seconds. Out of the water, I have not experienced the problem, but that was of short duration.

Samuel, I have the same headset as you. I have not ordered these pads yet. Have you been successful in finding a correct pad? If so, what are they? Chuck S.

Yes. There are minor aesthetic modifications-- mostly positive, I think. I had a pair for about two weeks when the right earpiece failed. I sent them back.

I just put on a set of EDT250V pads, they do fit. However, the sound is slightly altered. It is slightly more scooped (more mid-range absorbed by the Beyerdynamic pads). Anyone try something different? I want a pad that gives a little more room and comfort so my ears don't touch the harder plastic.
