3-way hybrid. pleather on the inside, velour on top, and leather outside
Just ordered these for my Sennheiser hd 280 pros. The ear pads they come with are pleather and within five minutes of wear, my ears are hot and sweating. They sound great so I'm hoping these Brainwavz hybrid will be better. Wasn't sure whether to get these or the full velour model, but I saw these have perforations for breathability. I need closed back phones for home studio recording but it's been near impossible to keep the original ear pads on my ears for a long session. I'll use them just for recording vocals and switch to my HD-414's for everything else, even though I lose a good bit of bass response with the 414's open construction.
If you’re a pro audio guy doing recording sessions then likely you know more about this stuff than me. 😂 I’m just a guy who wants good sound when I watch movies while my kids sleep 🤪
I bought the brainwavz that are slanted, in other words the pads are thicker at the back (towards the back of your head) and gradually get thinner towards the front (towards the front of your head). These are contoured to fit the shape of your head and are absolutely fantastic. I got the regular pleather and memory foam style. They also come in lambskin. This is what I'm getting for my next headphones.
Also, I have the ATH-WS1100iS. I strongly recommend the slanted model I just described. I have a large round Charlie Brown head. The default ear pads were uncomfortable for me.
Zmf cowhide was recommended by Zeos and it works on 40mx.
so whats the difference on sound?
Him: come on get on there
Earpads: u looking for a fight😑
Yep, total pain to put on...
@@wompdaddy4891 The correct technique is to push up from inside the earcup, I've replaced a dozen or so and it takes me about 5-10 seconds.
Stock ATH m50 and m50x are seriously crap. This is the upgrade for them or i think i would rether go with the angled ones.
These pads are good but now that I’ve got both I think I prefer the leather ones. I’ve had the hybrid ones for years now and the felt part is starting to look a little tired. Still comfortable though!
what would be the difference between the Brainwavz HM5 angled and not angled for my Audio Technica M40X? and would Memory foam or plain leather be better and whats the difference between the two? thanks in advance
I was lucky they mistook my order to be angled. I really like it on my M40x because the drivers are now perpendicular to my ears. I have a weird-shaped small head so wearing flat normal-pads would angle them. Now I hear better with this. Also, bigger sound-stage which I like.
That was a pain in the ass getting those on.
I found that if you keep a finger in there and work your finger around the cup, that works good.
People say they sound like HELL, but I'm really struggling to hear the difference...
There's less bass, but easily enough for me... it's still there. And less bass-feel.. like feeling the sub bass.. because the stock pads are not only closer, but harder. Which transfers better. Is my thinking.
Once these squish over time, and get closer to the drivers, they should get better in ways. Although they seem fine for me, and when I squish them closer to my ears, I don't pick up on any difference.
As far as sibilance... I don't think I notice a whole lot of difference... might be my hearing. There will be a bit more though. The foam over the driver is way thinner. You can purchase the foam material and insert it yourself though.
The comfort is obviously way better.
So far they seem perfectly fine for me.... I'm no audiophile though. So don't trust me lol.
@@wompdaddy4891- Ideally I'd like to be able to switch back and forth to test for the difference (with my hearing).
But fuck that... I already put the ear pads on once. That's enough times.
Good enough!
Just odd how so many people are outraged by the sound difference...
I suppose they are more experienced in picking up subtleties, and it's a big difference for them. But then they were also saying the sibilance is ear piercingly horrible.. (way more so than stock).
And ZERO bass....
I dunno.
Hello, good video.
So, any pads compatible with the m50x are also compatible with the WS1100IS (Solid Bass)?
I ordered this set after watching your video. They are super comfortable but the sound isolation is terrible. My wife can hear everything when I’m using the headsets. I placed headsets on my knee area and cranked volume that I use while gaming and she was right . Had to put the factory pads back on my Audio Technica back on. I’m thinking maybe the leather Brainwav pads will isolate better .
Mark Gomzalez and the sound? Improve?
heebbi sounds a bit better but way more comfortable . The original sets were very bad lol.
Yea you need the pleather for sound isolation. Also keeps the bass in.
They're big pads so the bass and quality will suffer, but over time they should squish down and become better, as they get closer to the ear, whilst retaining the comfort.
Siberius Wolf at the end, i Order wicked cushions... and then i returned them, so finally, i bought the originals
tbh after using these if it's the clamping force or the fact that im not using my Razer Kraken's with Cooling Gel the foam feels a bit lower quality. Not the softest and feels like a hybrid beetween it and styrofoam. But there nice man. Way better than the stock but i lost ALL bass with my M40x's hopefully the M50x's will be better! Also ordering all the earpads and making a review to show you!
The pad's are more expensive than my headphones. 100% worth tho.
I am looking for the best pads for long term use. When I am in the office I am at my desk for 12 hours and hate having pads that make your ears overheat
go for velor. as far as i know, they completely change the sound, but if you are not into music as much then velor earpads are the best
I got the hybrid Brainwavz, (perforated on the inside) and compared to the all-leather ones I had previously, you lose some of the bass response (which might be good if you think the M50's are to bass heavy) but the real downside is, certain tracks sound too sibilant / tinny. (every review I watched on CZcams tells me the opposite, which is weird) Although this is compared to the thicker after-market pads that I have replaced teh stock ones with long ago. I honestly don't remember how the stock pads sound.
Hybrids are overall more comfortable, but the change in sound - sibilance and loss of bass made me switch back. My m50's are my "bass heavy" headphones, so if I lose that, the headset is kinda useless next to my Sennheizers and Hifiman's.
I 100% agree they do seem to take away most of the Bass and Boost the Highs. Comfort is amazing tho.
Are these memory foams? Website says so, but my friend who bought a velour round pads from them, are not.
As far as I can tell they are. All I can really tell you is that they’re definitely comfortable, at least for my ears...
55/5000
pad compatible with audio technica ws1100is?
The mic seems to need updating for the video
Would these be good on a gaming headset like my logitech g pro x?
@@wompdaddy4891 If these fit on a hyperx headset then I should be good 😂 Would the hybrid or regular leather ones be best for sound quality?
Sorry for thr necro-post but yes, these will fit perfectly. I would suggest the sheep skin oPH leather for the Pro X. But personally I would 100% go with velour or hybrid because the Pro Xs are very bass heavy and with my experience velour has done me wonders with balancing everything out. The tings and all that get much clearer too.
Is velour or leather better for glasses wearing and travel or leather?
Johny Text I think leather would be better, they provide a better seal and last longer.
The original pads were protein leather, and it does effect sound signature, but due to their anemic size, they never sealed. This means full sized pleather or leather pads fuck with the sound a LOT. Velour sounds the best when full sized.
If comfort is more important though, protein leather or leather might be better, but if you have sweaty ears, you might like velour more.
The hybrid pads attempt to 'min max' the positives and negatives of leather/pleather/vented/velour.
Hope that helps.
@@rich1051414 what do u mean velour sounds best when full sized? What means best for you neutral? Hyped sound lile alot of bass and treble? I got big memory foam velour pads for my ATH 50x. Its difficult for me the see alot of difference in sound signiture accept it seems a bit more eary.. room to breath for my ears.. for sound and physical temperature. That I like. But it almost seems like the bass is heavier (-) and punchier (+). The highs around 10khz are very sharp.. but I think thats not something new to 50x which are not really neutral. Im still trying to figure out if I like the sound of the new ear oads or not.
Dammit. SIGH. Wish I had watched your video before purchasing the pleather pads. That cloth lining the part that sets on your face looks more comfy. 😥😪😭
Mine shipped here to me in a day :o
@@wompdaddy4891 bruh there nice tommarow getting my m40x's to review and then next week the m50x's and if i forgot in a sec i need to sub lol
Womp Daddy there really good btw the bounce back isn’t that bad and are extremely comfy
So its can make u sound more better or it will be less sound quality?
I just bought a pair for my ATH-MSR7. This earpads kill the bass of my headphones. They are studio monitors, you're not supposed to change their sound signature for any reason.
Do they fit steelseries?
Not sure. You’d have to check the manufacturers list to see if they’re a match.
Hey.would you feel comfortable wearing on ear memory foam headset .will the memory foam be soft on the ears
can anyone tell me compatible memory foam ear pads for a Tascam TH-02?
idiot! just get the large over the ears ones!
I just returned the TH-02 for the M40x pair. The Tascam is crap compared to Audio Technica, plus the TH-02 was too large and kept sliding down. Pay the extra money and get Audio Technica. I ordered the hybrid earpads for them. I only used the head set for 90 minutes with the stock earpads. Not only were they a bit uncomfortable, but they made my ears hot. I can't tell you how much I hate pleather earpads. I specifically chose the velour hybrid to not sweat and have pieces of degraded pleather sticking to my skin.
Are these pads compatible with ath m20x headphones ?
I believe they are compatible with all m series headphones.
Will they fit this headset turtle beach stealth 450?

Sorry for the necro-post but yes, they will fit perfectly.
This man is struggeling
Yep.
It’s should slow motion not high speed video
Nobody wants to watch me struggle with those pads on real time...
stop moving your mouth away from your mic, the increase in volume from like 50% to 100% is annoying.
Great video ty for the tips!
the vinyl peels off in less than a year
Huh? Brainwavz Pleathers really good quality
The Hybrid ones are I think a bit more iffy, but as far as durability goes in after market pads, Brainwavz are decent
can confirm
people, learn how to wear your headphones right and nothing will hurt...
I guess I must have big ears.
@@wompdaddy4891 Nah he's just a troll with a tiny head. I'm a fifty year old man and I think I know how to work a pair of headphones.
Put on the pads 10 times faster or die.
m50 suck
