WCWicked Cushions Replacement Ear Pads for Sony MDR 7506 | Softer Leather, Luxurious Memory Foam, Unmatched Durability | Compatible with MDR 7506 / MDR V6 / MDR CD900ST | (PU Leather)

I've had my Sony headphones for a number of years. I bought them based on a Wirecutter review. They serve me well. In the last year however the leather on the ear cushions started flaking off. I finally gave up and decided to order replacement ear cushions. After reading a lot of various reviews here on Amazon I decided to try these.The installation is pretty straightforward. Peel the old cushions and and put these in their place. Since you want these to fit snug it takes a little finagling to get everything in its proper place. No special tools required.As far as performance these do a great job. I've worn them a few hours at a time and no heating or fatigue from the ear cushions themselves. I gave four stars on the noise cancellation as I didn't expect these to perform that function. They do a great job of minimizing the noise around me but I can still hear the louder noises or if someone is talking to me. Obviously a lot depends on the playback volume. I don't listen to anything any louder than necessary.So overall rating is excellent. Very nice replacement for the Sony cushions. Long term wear is comfortable without getting hot or sticky. Installation is simple and the product fits very snuggly so it won't fall off easily.

TL:DREasy install, better material quality, better foam, better long term wearing comfort, better sound seal than the Sony original pads. Such a good design they should be the OEM supplier for Sony.Full review:These pads fit both the MDR V6 and the 7506 due to them sharing the same aluminum ear cup design. The difference between the V6 and 7506 is purely in the internal drivers and color printed on the ear cups. The V6 is more balanced while the 7506 has a little more bass response.I use my MDR V6's almost every day, for several hours a day. The original Sony pads would have pressure spots and tension headaches after a couple of hours. My prescription glasses would break the sound seal and noise rejection would suffer from it. The Sony pads also jammed my glasses frames into my head, increasing the pressure. I thought I just had to deal with this lack of comfort due to me wearing glasses and not knowing Wicked Cushions existed.Last year, my original Sony pads started wearing out and falling apart. The vinyl broke down and literally peeled right off the foam in strips about 1/4" wide, all around the headphones, starting in the ear cavity and radiating out to the outside of the ear cups. I bought my first set of Wicked Cushions for my V6's then. What a night and day difference!These Wicked Cushions fit like the original Sony's on the ear cups, but have a lot of significant upgrades in comfort, longevity, and sound seal. Wicked Cushions are much more supple of a material, with better, softer padding, and better noise rejection and a better seal to your head, even around my prescription glasses. I get no pressure points after long uses and can go for hours with no headaches. The foam is soft and the leather supple. I put them through a 10 hour flight in October 2019, without removing them once, while wearing my glasses, and felt no pressure points from the long listening usage.Honestly, these pads should be the original pads that came with the V6 and 7506 as they perfected the issues the original design had.This order was to replace my wife's original pads, which had also started to break down like mine did. My Wicked's are still going strong 13 months later! Based on the quality I'm sure both of ours will be going strong years from now!

I've had these studio monitor headphones for probably 30 years. Used them for recording on a 4 track, that's how old they are. lol They've been sitting for the last 15 years or so and I decided to break them out again as I have a need for headphones musically and remembered how good these were. They still sound great but the ear pads were trashed from peeling flakes like all the reviews state.. I was about to purchase original replacements thinking I should get the same ones and then saw these. I liked the reviews on them and the pro's for no more flaking were the selling point for me. They were very easy to take off the old ones and put these on. They provide a nice padding, are very comfortable and I'm sure I'll get another 30 years out out of these minus the flaking! Big thumbs up!! Must buy if you have a Sony MDR 7506 with the original ear pads.

I am thrilled with the quality of these replacement ear pads for my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. My pair of MDR-7506 have been used for video productions for about 10 years, and the ear pads had started to flake (see pictures). At first, I didn't think twice about the issue, but then when I started noticing weird black flakes on my clothes (and in my camera bag), I started to take closer notice to what was going on. The padding material had started to deteriorate and flake off. I figured I'd just get original Sony replacement pads, but I wasn't a fan of the crinkly pad cover that Sony uses. So I figured I'd give the Wicked Cushions a try. They are AWESOME and make my headphones look like brand new!! They feel just as comfortable as my original Sony ear pads, perhaps a tad bit better fitting for my ears. Removing the ear pads took less than 5 seconds, and installing them took a total of 5 minutes for both sides. The included instructions (and link to their instructional video) made the process super easy. I'm thrilled I decided to buy these ear pads, and I even more thrilled that my earphones are back to new condition (and no more weird flakes)!!
