Video

I have these exact headphones and I'm so glad this video exists. Going to give it a shot. Thanks :)

You've helped me big time. Thank you stranger!

For people with big ears it's hell to find the right ear pads..

YOU'RE AMAZING!!

Nice, kind of a 'cheat', but cute...

I used weather stripping 1 1/2" x 5/8 cut in half

I didn't have rope so I used paper towel. Roll one of those clothe type paper tower to right length and it works perfect.

Me in my room by myself taping foam to my headset band: "OOOOOH SHIT DUDE THIS GUY'S A GENIUS!" My neighbors: Calm down Kevin -_-

Wow just tried this on my Sony WH-1000XM3 and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Bruh

Man thank god I found this video, it makes wearing the corsair virtuoso actually bearable, thank you so much for this upload! A little toilet paper did the trick just fine

Thanks for the vid! I had a problem where my ear was touching the speaker inside the headset and this trick has helped me solve the issue!

im deperate im trying this

Hey, I would love to partner up with you! I have tried finding your email but its no on youtube :( Would you be able to contact me at or@wickedcushions.com ?

Thank you. I was getting ear pain from my mpow ae headset

saved me so much ear pain, thank you

those pads hurt. there are oem's who make pads though.

Yes Yes! Much needed tip! Ty 🙏🏻

Good lesson, thank you

who is watching this with headphones?

yip did the trick thanks sir

Now this is why youtube exists. Paper towel works flawlessly!

Immediate ear pain relief! Thank you sir!

Thank you amazing advice. But for the love of all that is holy sort out those mouth clicks! I had to turn captions on. Dear god. That made my freakin head explode. EVERY WORD had constant mouth swishing! Back tf up from the mic! But yea thank you Ima do this.

Bro there's legit companies making big bucks selling third party thicker earpads and you just solve the problem by using rope. Fucking genius.

cool trick 👍

Чувак, ты лучший!

Day may come you can find it online

Wow this worked! Thank you!

Dude I can't thank you enough. Feel like a dumbass for not thinking of this myself. Did it with a DVI cable lol

Amazing! I wonder how many headphones I went through trying to find ones that didnt hurt when all I needed was this. Works with HDMI cables btw

4-5 years later and you are still a hero. Thanks for sharing.

That's fantastic news

awesome~~~ it worked~~~~

Its amazing how to me and a lot of people these are the clearest sounding headphone they have tried considering that they were first made in 1991 HAHAHA. I have tried so many headphones and ear buds out their and even with some custom equalization settings these are the clearest. These are great for audiophiles who don't want extreme bass. You need to make them more comfortable if you want your ears not to hurt from wearing these for a long time and this is a great easy trick to make them more comfortable. BTW if you want true high quality audio use Vox player on a computer instead of iTunes. Vox player plays stuff way way way more clear than iTunes plus the equalizer plus audio units can make it sound amazing. I would not recommend using these in public and use for home only though because they leak so much sound and you should find some with less sound leakage for use outside your house.

i dit it with toilet paper, my ears said thank u

Brilliant!

brillant. my mdr-v6 rubs against my ears and it hurts. going to try this out.

great video, helped me a lot, thx man :)

holy crap your a life savor

In my opinion this mod have very little to do with better comfort and a lot to do with better sound stage as there is now more space between ear and driver. At least this was a result for my on Superlux HD330 +beyerdynamic velor pads.

Great! I'll try this on my Sennheiser 280s. Simple, efficient, cheap. Love it!

Dude, that's so stupidly easy but didn't passed for my head.

You need to update your title and add the Sony MDR-7510 this solved my problem and there is no after market ear pads for these useless things, I can't believe Sony would sell a $150 USD headphones and the foam is so soft that the hard plastic inside rubs against your ears and hurts like hell after a while. Wasted a couple hours trying to find aftermarket deeper pads but they don't make them for the 7510, but your idea seems to work except I had to use thicker rope to get the hard plastic away from my ears. Thanks for posting the video you saved me $65 Canadian with postage to order something hoping I could make it work, my only other option was return the headphones and get the next model down and then buy the aftermarket pads. BTW I watched the ad for you and it was a premium skippable auction ad so you got my 2 cents worth

Using your idea with sheepskin leather pads, isolates better, Fantastic, Thanks

after watching this video I put a network cable around the inside of the ear cups of my Sony MDR-1RBTs and it worked fine, and it's free, better than the Chinese replacement pads

Bob Ross........???

Worked flawlessly on Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. I was about to cough up $25 for a third-party set of thicker ear pads to replace the brand new original pads, because my ears pressed against the inside of the headphones. Serious thanks for the creative suggestion.

Yep legit! Nice video! I took Mikel's lead and did it with an ethernet cable since I had an extra one. It helps a ton! I think I will do it with rope or something softer when I get it. I might use a slightly thinner rope though
