Review Summary

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Good stock replacement. Dekoni makes only quality pads...
The Sony MDR7506 (USA) and CDR900ST (Asia) are the longest standing standards in studio monitoring headphones for more than 30 years. In the late 2000's, Audio Technica changed the game releasing the original ATH-M50 and subsequently the ATH-M50X. The M50's served not only the professional studio world, but also crossed over to the consumer mass market taking it by storm. One of the best bangs for the buck in headphones, the sound is excellent, but the pads leave some room for improvement. Dekoni tasked itself to improve both the sound and comfort of the M50's and the 7506. This was the first premium pad group ever released by Dekoni Audio (7506/M50x) and it was our first major success.
Co-Founder Tal, was a live sound engineer on tour with national acts for more than 10 years. Looking online he could only find cheap replacements for his worn out pads, which were uncomfortable and made of cheap pleather. He tasked himself to create something even he could wear on tour, for long sessions at back of house or in the studio. From this idea, Dekoni Audio was born. These pads fit the Audio Technica ATHM50, ATHM40, ATHM30, ATHM20, ATHM70, ATH-MSR7 as well as the X versions of those headphones. They also fit the Sony MDRV-7506, CDR900ST and Sony V6 and many other similar headphones.
After the wide success of Dekoni's Platinum Protein series, we wanted to expand into an even higher quality material to create an unparalleled ear pad in both sound quality and comfort. When you take the soft, supple sheepskin and wrap it in the densest slow rebounding memory foam, you increase isolation, comfort and sound stage. You can expect a nice boost in both high's and low's with Elite Sheepskin pads. The sheepskin and foam wrap and create a tight (but not too tight) seal on your head, even if you wear glasses, to ensure that our discerning listeners have a great headphone experience. Dekoni Elite Sheepskin is the ultimate piece of ear pad luxury. What sets Dekoni apart from the herd is they tune every pad they make to specific headphones so you know you're getting an upgrade and not just a replacement.
