beyerdynamic EDT 990 V Ear pad Set Velour Silver Grey

A perfect replacement that feels just as good and soft while being able to hide filth better than the default grey ones. Gives exact same performance.

Replaced my original DT 880's (80ohm) pads after 8 years of near daily use. I bought the grey pads. Ridiculous I didn't do it sooner. The headphones sound much better (clearer highs, reduced low end muddiness), are much more comfortable, and got rid of any notion that I needed new headphones. Like others have said, the pads are a bit of a pain to get on, but oh well. Took me about 10 min. Totally worth it. The new pads lift the headphones away from your ears compared to old flattened ones, and thus, to me, the original, like-new sound profile is restored. They're a bit quieter because of this, which I didn't expect. Overall, probably a little overpriced, the original design makes installation annoying, but in the end kudos to beyerdynamic for having replaceable pads and making a quality pair of headphones that are build to last.

If you own a set of Beyerdynamic headphones that use these and have had them for longer than a year, do not hesitate. You need this. I've owned my pair of DT 800 Pros for about two and a half years now, and had been noticing how gross looking my headphones had become. There was hair sticking out of the foam in the earcup and the velour had taken on a nasty brown color and had flattened almost completely. This is the only thing I've not liked about these headphones. I don't know what it is about the material but it really does not like the oil on skin. Now that I've replaced them with these, I remember why I was so enamored by these cans when I first got them. I'm not going to spout bull about how good my headphones sound now; far as I can tell or care it's the same, but not having the driver smashed up against my ear is great. My ears have room to breathe again, making my favorite headphones much more pleasant to listen to. These ear pads are the real deal, straight from Beyerdynamic, and include new foam inserts to go over the drivers as well. These are actually much better quality than the originals, although I don't know if that's because they were designed for different headphones or not. They have a very nice soft fabric-like material attached to one side which is a very nice touch. These may seem expensive, and it sucks that the pads that came with my headphones crapped out, but regardless, these are definitely worth their price.

I've had a pair of DT990 headphones for about 7 years and the pads were worn to the point that my ears were mushed against the inside of the cans. I took a chance on some cheap knockoffs and regretted it immediately! They sounded horrible! Turned these wonderful headphones into a bassy, muddy mess. I bought these, which is what I should've done to begin with, and the difference was night and day. Installation was a breeze. The sound was restored back to when they were new, great clarity, defined mid-range and bass that is balanced and not overpowering. Don't cheap out on these replacements, you won't regret it!

I have a pair of AKG k240s' and I saw a post on the internet that someone had modded their pair with these pads. I am confirming that this is possible. It takes a little work to put on because they are pretty snug, but they do fit. If you haven't changed the pads on your k240s, there's a small cutout section on the rim of the plastic shell around the driver. You can use this cutout section to "screw on" these pads. It will take some time and patience to do so. As far as the sound goes, initially you will probably notice that the sound-stage opens up a little. Collaterally, you will probably also notice your base volume has dropped some. Never fear however, after breaking the headphones in, (by wearing them), for about 4-8 hours the foam will compress and you will have nice balanced sound again. I can't say for certain, but after the break in period they might even sound better. Oh also, they make the k240s even MORE comfortable. I didn't even think it was possible but these feel great!

is not the same material as the grey ones, other than that is a great replacement. The bottom foam is also included.

I enjoy my Beyerdynamic D880 but the ear pads were looking funky after 15 years of listening to music and audio books in bed. When the replacement ear pads arrived I noticed my original silver grey pads had acquired a brownish tinge and the felt was matted, compared to the new pads. Furthermore, and this is disgusting, my old pads were slightly heavier, and felt slippery and wet from the absorbed oils and sweat from my head and ear. I think I had kept my original ear pads too long! The new pads, with clean and unmatted velour, restored the appearance and comfort of my DT880, which I will enjoy for many more years.

Just do it. The price is justified. Restored my 990 PROs to like-new fit.
