YAXI stPad2 LR(Red&Blue) Earpads for Sony MDR7506/900ST

Didn’t expect much, but these Yaxi STPad2s completely changed my M50xBTs.The moment I swapped them in, I felt it — so much more room around the ear, zero pressure. Like they were finally built for real heads, not mannequins.I’m not an audiophile, so I can’t tell you if the highs are silkier or the bass is deeper... but they sound just as good as stock — maybe even better.The comfort though? That’s where it wins. No ear fatigue. No pressure. No heat. Just clean, breathable fit and soft feel all the way.Ease of installation? Stupid simple. I popped them onto my ATH-M50XBRs with no hassle. Took seconds.Value for money? Easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made.I’ve got a big head — like certified wide-load status — and these pads still fit clean with zero pressure on my ears.They’re thin but contoured, almost sculpted, in a way that makes the sound feel like it’s coming from speakers in front of you, not headphones clamped on your skull.Stretchability is on point — they fit my M50s with no fight.Build quality feels solid. Part of the inside is this soft, absorbent fabric that wraps behind your ear, the rest is smooth faux leather that holds the shape without feeling stiff.Bottom line?Sound is great. Comfort is next level.Best pair of pads I’ve ever owned, period.

Alright, fellow audiophiles and style seekers, can we talk about the YAXI earpads. If you are on the hunt for a way to elevate your headphone game, these bad boys are an absolute must-try. Seriously, they sound unbelievably spectacularly awesome!First off, the comfort level is off the charts. Slipping these earpads onto your headphones feels like giving your ears a cozy hug. Whether jamming out to your favorite indie band or diving into a podcast, you will forget you are wearing them. They are perfect for those long listening sessions where you just want to vibe.Can we get real for a second. The only knock - a tad on the thin side. I do wish for just a smidge more padding. But honestly a minor detail. Still comfy.A total win. A lifestyle upgrade. Well worth the coin.

Bought these based on some forums claiming they would fit my Sony MDR-MV1.... THEY DO NOT. Luckily the pads I bought for my MDR-M1's from another brand did fit my MV1 with a bit of stretching. So technically my M1 don't have any pads. So I put these on the M1's and they fit like a dream and feel great. Sound great too. Shame they don't fit the MV1.... maybe the creator of these will make a much larger version (length and width not pad thickness) for the MV1. Can't knock them any Stars for them not fitting my MV1. They never marketed them as doing so. They are marketed for other headphones. But they are very nice.

I dont own a single pair of pads like these. And I have a decent box filled with pads.They have this semi-asymmetrical design on the inside of the pads. The front portion of the interior cup is is solid wall protein leather like the outside of the headphone. While the back half of the interior is a cloth suede like material.This creates an imbalance in the sound pressure, so on and so forth, technical jargon. Simply put, the sound reflects from the front, but dampens in the back. This has the side effect of making the sound feel like its coming from the front.Its angled pads or angled drivers, without having to actually angle the pads or the drivers.But getting back to the actual quality of the earpad itself. They are a bit on the thin and stiff side. If they are memory foam it really doesnt feel like it as they are pretty springy. But this seems like a neccessity. Since they are incredibly thin, it still wants to keep your ear from just pressing flush with the driver, so it stays a bit stiff to give as much distance as possible. Couple this with the angled interior wall makes the inside of the pads feel incredibly roomy. It can take an otherwise very closed pair of headphones and open them up without adding on gigantic pads to them. The only downside to this roomy interior is it makes the the surface area of the pads that presses into you heads actually a bit small, so it can be pretty noticeable to wear at first.It does take some getting used to and breaking in. After a while the material softens up a bit and it doesnt press into your head or cheeks as much. But the sound it helps you headphones have and the roomy feel is something that i absolutely love.Probably not meant for every headphone, but on certain ones its great.If you already have a collection of headphones and pads, this will make a great addition. If you are looking for them for specific headphones, i would get a second opinion from someone who tried them on those headphones first. But honestly, the few ive tried them on have sounded and felt great.

Expensive but feels really high quality,love the fact the the entire ear fits inside the ear cups.

As I have mentioned above, with the yaxi pads, it sounds like a completely different headphone. Although the comfort is superb, everything will sound recessed, distant and muddy. As much as consumer audiophiles like z review who praised these yaxi as an upgrade, all professional audio engineers i know stick to the stock pads despite the discomfort. Also the stock pads are not as simple as they seem to be, I used to think the cd900st and 7506/ v6 have the same stock pads, but they don't. When you go to soundhouse (jp domestic shipping only) to buy replacements, they are listed under different part number.
