While the Sony MDR7506 (USA) and CDR900ST (Asia) have been the gold standard in studio monitoring headphones for over three decades, Audio Technica revolutionized the landscape in the late 2000s with the release of the original ATH-M50 and its successor, the ATH-M50X. These headphones not only served the professional studio world but also made a significant impact on the consumer market with their exceptional sound quality. However, the original ear pads were identified as an area that could benefit from enhancement. Dekoni Audio, a company co-founded by a seasoned live sound engineer, Tal, who spent over a decade on tour with national acts, took on the challenge to improve both the sound and comfort of these iconic headphones. Frustrated by the lack of quality replacement pads available online, Tal set out to create a product that could withstand the rigors of long sessions, whether on tour, at the back of the house, or in the studio. Thus, Dekoni Audio was born.These premium replacement ear pads are compatible with a range of headphones, including the Audio Technica ATHM50, ATHM40, ATHM30, ATHM20, ATHM70, and their X versions. They also fit the Sony MDRV-7506, CDR900ST, Sony V6, and many other similar headphones. Crafted from Dekoni Choice Leather, a soft and supple synthetic material, these ear pads offer a luxurious look and an incredibly gentle feel on the skin, often mistaken for real leather. Their durability and unmatched comfort may even surpass that of real sheepskin. Incorporating the ultra slow rebound memory foam from the Elite series, these ear pads are not just replacements but upgrades. What sets Dekoni apart is their commitment to tuning every pad they make to specific headphones, ensuring an enhanced audio experience. With Dekoni's Choice Leather Replacement Ear Pads, you're not just getting a replacement, but an upgrade to your listening experience.

I really had a lot of expectations with this product, coming from buying the Choice Leather pads and disliking them because they were sticky and pulled the skin on my ears.

I can say it covered most of the things I wanted them to be, but came with some unexpected advantages and disadvantages, for my taste.

First off, it is soft, mushy, THICK, and comfortable as you would expect it to be. Some things that surprised me are that it also helps a lot with headphone clamping stability, as it's thicker than the default pads (when you think about it it makes much more sense). It also supresses more sound than the default and I liked that when you adjust your headphones and move the pad it doesn't make a weird sound as the Choice Leather did.

Now, something that I expected better from this pads is temperature. I thought that this pad would be cooler since its made out some kind of fiber, I'm not sure what I was thinking. It's not like it's hell but it's certainly a little warmer than a default pad. If you live in a cold environment you might not feel this or it could actually be a great thing thought. Another detail is I find a little annoying that youu can feel a distinction between the "skin" of the pad and the memory foam, so sometimes if you want to adjust your headphones and you grab it from the pad itself it slides the skin of the pad from the foam so you don't get a good grip of the pad, and it just feels weird, like if the skin of the pad is a little oversized, like a sweater. Lastly, it does merge a bit the frequencies on the lower end; it's hard to explain, but you get the feeling that the sounds are not as clear and distinctable as before, so consider getting a physical or digital EQ to adjust this to your taste.

Overall it's still a great product and it feels better. It's certainly not gonna hurt your ears anymore, its just SO SOFT and THICK. It also looks good.

Almost perfect

Good stock replacement. Dekoni makes only quality pads...

Great replacement pads !

I replaced my stock Focal Elegia Earpads with these.  Wow. Very comfortable and sounds great.

Focal Elegia sea

I had this product before and it's an improvement over the alcantara one that came with the Shures, in some ways. Returned this item only because I had mistakenly thought it had been discontinued, and had ordered a competitor's Brainwavz pads

worthy add on of different material

Good

These replacement ear pads are of very high quality.  The seams are stitched, not glued. They were easy to install and make the headphones comfortable again.

Bose Quiet Comfort QC35 High Quality Ear pad replacements

These replacement pads fit perfectly and were more comfortable than the original velour set.

Perfect Fit

I’ve had these headphones for Over 10 years and I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. This is one of the best upgrades that I can possibly recommend for this pair of Fostex. The comfort and sound upgrade is tremendous. Paired with the replacement cable, most anyone would be happy with the effect. However, I am most excited about getting honest monitoring from these headphones with so much less fatigue. These pads are still new to me but they are built very well and fit beautifully on these headphones.

I waited 10 years too long

I got these hoping they would upgrade my headphones. It worked! These pads provide better cushioning and make the headphones more comfortable. They also look very nice!

Good upgrade pads

Comfortable and sound great. Seem well built. Excellent replacement to the stock pads on my HE-560

Great Pads

perfect for my headphones! quality is great!

Dekoni Cushion Sony WH1000Xm3

Better than the Bose by far.  Much more comfortable, better quality.

Dekoni for Bose QC35 II

Great pads! These really help the bass of the Elegias. Would buy again!

Great pads for the Focal Elegia

Exactly as described. Pushes the mids a bit forward without changing the sound signature otherwise, really comfortable and a really nice price.
