- GEVO Upgraded Ear Cushions Replacement Earpads for AirPods Max 1 & 2 Headphones, Mesh Fabric Ear Pads Ear Covers Cups with Memory Foam and Magnet for AirPods Max 1 & 2 (Space Gray)

These replacement ear cushions fit perfectly and feel even more comfortable than the original ones. The material is soft, breathable, and provides excellent cushioning during long use. Installation was straightforward and only took a few minutes. The sound quality remains clear, and the seal around the ears feels secure. They give my headphones a refreshed and like-new feel. Great quality replacement option.

I’ve only had them for about a week but so far so good. I can confirm that the magnet is stronger than the original ones that came with the APM. And I can also confirm that the noise canceling feature works better with these GEVO eat cushions than the originals. I wasn’t able to notice a better sound quality between the two though. If there was a difference it wasn’t as noticeable. As far as comfort I wore one original and one Gevo all day and they both felt perfectly fine. With sweat resistance I wore them for a few hours doing yard work. But it was cold AF outside so I’m pretty sure I didn’t sweat. And I haven’t been able to workout with them yet. I’ll update once I get a few workouts in. Using these for workouts is impotent to me so I’ll definitely update this review. But these are a great option if you’re looking for replacements. I’m actually using the originals ear cushions for everyday relaxed use and the Gevo for doing yard work and workouts. For the color, I got the green. I can’t compare since my APM are midnight. But it’s a nice green. If it would have been a little darker that would have been nice too. But it’s fine. No complaints. Update: I had an issue. Once, while watching a movie with the APM. There was a static, muffled, sound coming from the left side. I had no idea why it was doing that. I had no idea what to do. I thought my APM was defective. But I thought let me remove the cushion and reinstall it. It worked perfectly fine after that. I don’t know if anyone else has had that issue. But it’s working fine now.

I gave my midnight colored AirPods Max (2024) a splash of color and green seemed like a good choice. While the color could be a bit darker (saturated), it utilizes the same magnets and overall fit. That also means that the pads fit in two ways: the right way and the wrong way. You’ll have to make sure that the sensor opening lines up with the sensor. Of course, you could also use the woven letters to orient the pads. At less than half the price of the genuine pads, this is a great alternative. I don’t have long-term data yet, but for now it seems a perfect replacement. It’s super easy to install, just like the original.

Great fit and feel.

I bought these to replace my worn AirPods Max ear cushions and they fit properly right out of the box. The mesh feels soft and breathable, and comfort is similar to the original pads. They attach easily and stay in place with no gaps. Sound and noise cancellation feel mostly unchanged, which was important to me. They are not an exact match to Apple’s cushions, but for the price, they are a solid replacement if your originals are worn out.

Honestly work like the originals though they’re slightly smaller, you wouldn’t even noticed it.

Like some other reviewers mentioned, the magnets on these replacements are weak. I disregarded those complaints because the vast majority of the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. I cannot overstate this-these magnets are probably the less than half the strength of the OEM earpads. These are weeeaaak.

This is a series of reviews for products I purchased to clean Apple products, including my 1st gen Apple AirPods Max. I’m including a “before” photo in my review of this product for reference about why I purchased these aftermarket ear pad cover replacements (notably Apple OEM parts aren’t available at this time). I managed to completely disassemble the headphones and clean every part and piece possible before putting them back together and putting this product on the headphones. I specifically didn’t buy a lighter/matching color due to my experience with how dirty the OEM parts got since I purchase these in maybe 2023? Or 2022? Whenever they were released, I purchased them from Amazon. I wasn’t as careful as I should’ve been in hindsight and I use these headphones daily when they are functioning correctly. When they started having problems charging and the battery was draining in the original case, I started searching for the solution, and cleaning them seemed like the first thing to try, thus my novella in this review, because you can’t clean the ear cover part as far as I can find in my research. So far, considering I just completely cleaning and reassembly, they seem to work ok playing music using the Spotify app on my phone. I have not tried the noise cancelling option and or a phone call, Facetime, or anything else I regularly use these headphones for, but the magnets clicked immediately and held on well when I put the headphones on and took them off. They obviously fit the headphones correctly. I thought it they would have been packaged individually inside the box or the box itself would be shrink wrapped, but neither was true and there were very tiny but visible dust particles inside the box upon opening. I will update this review if anything changes as I use this product more.
