Replacement Earpads Ear Pads Cushion for Sennheiser HD598 / HD598 Cs / HD598SE / HD 598 SR / HD518 / HD558 / HD595 / HD599 / HD569 / HD579 Headphones (Lamy Velvet)

I love my new 560s, but the velour pads were just too hard and itchy for my taste. I was hoping to find pads that didn't drastically change the sound but improved comfort. I went through a ton of reviews of other products and most seemed very mixed... Thicker pads are more comfortable, but change the sound-- and open backed headphones need a material that is not super enclosed like leather to keep the sound stage and bass in check. These don't feel super high end, but they are soft and breathable and won't keep the sound in like most thicker pleather pads. My ears feel a touch closer to the driver (maybe a mm or so) but it's because these are way softer than the stock pads. I may change my review over time, but right now these are super inexpensive and extremely comfortable while keeping the sound neutral. They snap right in too...took less than a minute to put both of em on. I'll probably buy another set just in case these wear out quickly, but for the price you can't go wrong.

A bit hesitant because there were no reviews. It was delivered by Amazon.com so I took a chance. Arrived double bagged and as shown in images. Fit my HD515's perfectly and seemed an upgrade over the original pads which literally disintegrated into powder inside the pleather. These are identical to the Vever pads for the HD-598 and the packaging even has their name on it. They are a very soft yet firm Lamy Velvet. The price goes up and down a few dollars but so far I would give VEKEFF/VEVER 5 stars for cost/quality and fit. Time will tell on durability but they seem very good.

Update: The pads are already ruined, and possibly the headset too. The ring that snaps them into the headphones gets stuck on the headphones themselves, and the adhesive is not strong enough to pull it out along with the pads. This means the ring stays inside your headphones, while the cushion part peels off. What a horrible experience. Unless I can get the plastic ring out, my HD598s just became unusable.- -I wanted to upgrade the pads on a pair of HD 598se cans that I use from time to time. The original pads were falling apart, which is predictable given how old they are.I opted for the cooling pads, as opposed to the velvet or brown velour. The quality seems solid, and they snapped into place with no real issues. Sound feels a bit more boomy than with the original velour pads. Surprisingly, they are less comfortable than the OEM pads, still good enough for long listening sessions though.So you must be thinking, "ok, what's the issue then?". Maybe it's just me, but the new pads cause the headphones to slide around on your head. They have no "grip", where as the original pads kind of stuck comfortably to your head due to the material used. The 598s don't have a lot of clamping force, so with slippery pads the issue becomes more pronounced.

installation was a breeze

Purchased to replace the original Sennheiser HD599 earpads that were severely worn. Great fit and value!

I have a pair of Sennheiser-598s that I bought in 2011. After ten long years I finally had to replace the OEM pads. I haven’t noticed any change in sound quality, but I mainly use these for gaming and work calls. At first, it felt like I had a brand new headset! It was great. My main concern is that these won’t last long. It’s been two or three months and they’ve already lost their bounce and sometimes my ear touches the plastic and it’s uncomfortable—something that didn’t happen with my original set until it was time to replace them.

Comfortable, working fine. obviously different from what came on the headphones but the FIT is dead on and they look and feel good. no complaints!

Update Sep 2024: The black felt material on the padding has started flaking off everywhere. I got about 2 years out of them. So your decision on whether that's worth it for the listed price. The OEM Sennheiser pads lasted about a decade so personally I'm disappointed.The attached is a picture of my Sennheiser HD518's on which I have newly installed the Vekeff lamy velvet ear cup pads, as well as the Vekeff headband. Like another reviewer wrote I was hesitant due to how few reviews these pads had compared to competitors, but I am very pleased with the quality for the money.The ear pads are comfortable, though certainly a different outer material than the stock pads, but I do like the feel of the lamy velvet. Overall they feel thicker (causing the driver to sit a bit further from my ears) and firmer, but as I am comparing these to the OEM pads that were about a decade old, this difference could be due purely to compression and aging of the foam in my OEM pads.I did not use the included screens and kept my OEM ones installed to minimize sound differences. Due to different material density and driver distance to the ears, these will slightly change the sound of your headphones, which is to be expected for any non-OEM replacement. Even if the foam were the same, the lamy velvet is a thicker material than the OEM fabric covering. Bass and mids are a bit more present, and trebles are a bit lessened, but not to the point where I feel the headphones sound significantly different. A slightly warmer sound is definitely noticeable compared to my 10 year old OEM pads, but I don't have any complaints and the headphones still sound great, not muddy at all. FYI one can simulate "breaking in" of the foam in the pads by pushing either side of the ear pieces closer to your head.I will update the review in the future if these end up not holding up as well as I expected.

Putting it in, the glue between the fabric and the plastic holder came off. Wanting to take the whole piece off to reglue it, the plastic holder deformed as it was being pull out. Unable to place it back into the headset after that. Wasted my 18 singapore dollars.
