Genuine Sennheiser GSA 601 Replacement Ear Pads Cushions for SENNHEISER GSP 600, GSP 500 Gaming Headphones

I use these on the GSP500 headset and initially I thought it was a nice upgrade. There's a soft leathery feel to the sides and a suede feel to the top (both are artificial) with a memory foam inside which feels better on the ears.Pros:So initial thoughts, they are nice, and it's a good upgrade that definitely improves the comfort on your ears marginally.Cons:Biggest issue is that for the price, these are not designed to last. I wear my headset once in a while, maybe 1-2 times per week and these lasted less than a year before they start to come apart right where the "suede" meets the inner fabric (it is glued).It's an upgrade but the price is high. The headset should really come with a memory foam solution at this price tbh.In case you think this is a rare case, this same glue is used on the actual GSP500 headset, and I've already had the same problem on the headband where it comes unglued in the exact same way at the fabric seams. I actually glued the seams back on the headset with crazy glue and it's been holding, but it's not something you would expect at this price point for a head set.TLDR:Buy with caution. My opinion: For this price, and this level of headset from a known manufacturer like sennheiser you would expect much better quality built to last, it's just not worth it to have it fall apart so quickly.

What I don't like from this it takes a few minutes to clip on (thinking it might not be the right one, keep trying). Play around until it clips properly in place (around 15mins).Once it was properly clipped, it's quite comfy to wear. Washed with soft detergent for the older one for a half-hour, and store it once it's clean and dry. Rinse and repeat the steps when the replacement is dirty/sticky.

its like day and night i knew my where 2 years old and i use them everyday but these are alot better, not that my old ones where even that wore out i just wanted the ones with abit more noise canceling They Feel Great Though Im Happy i didnt buy the cheaper ones

At first I didn't think they were going to be a good replacement part. I watched a Youtube video where the pads were installed by putting the headset against your chest and pulling out and towards you to snap the new one in place. The second one installed quickly once I figured out the trick.

Have to replace to these every six months. They are hard to get on.
