Sony Genuine Replacement Ear Pads Cushions for Sony MDR-7506 and MDR-V6 Bundle (2-Pack, 2 Items)

These are replacements for the pads that have been on my MDR-V6 for ages. They may have been the originals. They're a pain to put on, but you do want the OEM pads. They last longer, and the pads you install can change the sound of a pair of headphones. Worth a little extra...

Easy to install. Maybe all in my head but I felt like it restored some sound quality.

I have been using "off brand" ear pads for my Sony headphones. They don't stay on the headphone, and fall apart in a short period of time. I purchased the Sony brand and what a difference! It was a little challenging to get on the headphones, which is a good thing as they won't keep falling off the headset. The sound quality with the Sony headphones is much better . They are more comfortable to wear than the cheap knockoffs. I purchased a second set to have as a backup.

Perfect fit!

I've owned a pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones for 20 years. I originally used them to monitor on-camera sound as a wedding & event videographer. For the last 14 years, I've used them for music production. In recent years, I feed them music from a PreSonus Audiobox USB 96, but the original headphone pads had ripped open on the inside, exposing the yellow foam. With the pads damaged, the headphones lost their ability to project a lot of low and midrange frequencies, leaving the 'phones sounding "tinny" like an old transistor radio. I'd been considering replacing the 7506's with Audio-Technicas or another set of Sony headphones. I spent a lot of time in stores listening to various headphones and was nearly ready to order when I stumbled across these replacement pads on Amazon. I was reluctant to buy the less-expensive off-brand pads after reading customer reviews. I'm glad I selected the OEM Sony pads, because they are not only lightweight and comfortable, but they have restored the low and midrange frequencies that have been missing from my MDR-7506 headphones. Buying these pads literally saved me at least $100 to achieving the balanced, articulate tone of the MDR-7506 'phones. I recommend them to any MDR-7506 owner. I might buy another pair just in case.

So I have this 9 year old pair of MDR-V6 headphones that I have rarely used, until recently when I bought a digital piano. The condition of my headphones was like new, until a few days ago when the pleather/vinyl covering on one earned tore. I guess it got a bit brittle after so many years in the closet. I found these authentic Sony ear pads and they are even more comfortable than the originals. Thank you to other customers who posted here explaining that you have to be patient and be methodical when installing. They are TIGHT, but that's good because you don't want them bagging out and falling off. I kind of thought they were super expensive but worth it for the Sony quality. In fact, I checked the Sony parts website and found that, when you include shipping, it's about $1 less going through Amazon. I still would like the warranty info on these, so I sent a message to the seller to provide it. All major manufacturers have a warranty. Very happy with these, and I'm glad I decided not to go the cheap route.

My old Sony MDR-7506 Professional headphones work perfectly, but the ear cushions were so worn and brittle that they would leave tiny black flecks on the sides of my face and ears. I bought these Genuine replacement ear pad cushions, and a few minutes later, I had new-looking and comfortable earphones again. They fit perfectly, were easy to attach, appear to be brand-new material, and look great. They should last years.

Perfect replacements. Thx.
