      Bought these to replace the pads on my ATH-m50s. The pads fit well and are much more comfortable than the original pleather ones.

            Replaced my sony mdr v6 stock pads with these. The pads dont fall off and they still feel snug. I wear these after coming out of the shower and the pads dont feel as if they are altered in any way because of the water.

            My only complaint is that they are still tight on my ears the same way the stock pads were. I have medium to large sized ears. Its just a sizing issue, I might need bigger headphones.

            A nice upgrade from the pleather cushions that came with my MDRV6 headphones. These are more comfortable and fairly easy to install. A little better sound and the velour texture grips your head better. Also the stickiness from sweat beading on the pleather isn't to be found with these.

                Definitely better than the well used, pleather-less pads that came with my Sony MDR-V6s :-P

                I put these on, and I could hear the bass more distinctly, and a lot more treble. So much more, in fact, that it seemed I had to turn the volume down so as not to damage my hearing. They suppress outside noise a lot better than my V6 originals, and they are also more comfortable! They still will get a little bit sweaty if you're in a hot environment, but not so much as to make you want to not wear them.
                All in all, I'd definitely recommend them as a replacement for any broken-down Sony pads!

                    I've only had a chance to use them for a week or so... but they are WAY more comfortable than the originals.

                        I needed to replace the ear cushions on my Sony MDR-V6 headphones. The original Sony pads start to fall apart after a few years and I had replaced them 2 or 3 times in the past. Hopefully the Beyerdynamics will last a lot longer than Sony's.

                          I have two pairs of Sony MDR7506 headphones, both about 10-12 years old, both with earpads that were deteriorating. With a little searching I found that the Beyerdynamic DT250 replacements pads fit the Sony headphones. I replaced the pads on both headphones (the first one about 2 years ago and the second one last week) and I am very pleased. Installation was very easy - just a matter of pulling off the old pads and stretching the new pads onto the headphones.

                              Bought these for my Sony V6's and was not disappointed. They are a softer suede material than the fake leather the stock phones came with. Seem like they will last a long time. Warning: they do get a little warmer than the last ones and arent as forgiving on the ears. I'm sure they'll get better once I break them in a bit more.

                                Great product and well worth the investment. Fit very well and firmly around ears for my Sony MDR-V6. Material is very durable and workks wonders. As other customers have said, because they are a little deeper than the vinyl stock earpads that come with sony headphones, there is a slightly better bass response with my headphones. Easy to install, too.

                                  These pads are far more comfortable than the stock ones. With these pads on, there's no more sweating or discomfort even when wearing them for hours at a time. I could not believe the difference! I should have bought these from day one instead of suffering the stock pads. The sound quality was just as good as it was before, if not better!

                                      have had these only a week, they're great--installed in sony mdr-v6 ... had to replace sony's oem pads that disintegrated after a few years. easy to install, needs no instructions, just gotta trash the included plastic mounts that sony's cans don't need. pads themselves are soft to the touch but firm around the ear. seems like they'll last longer than sony's pleather pads, we'll see though. highly recommended.

                                        I purchased these to replace Sony MDR7506 Pads. They are better quality, do not come off the headset and do not deteriorate like the Sony's did. Great comfort and fit.

                                        Greatly increased comfort of the tattered pleather pads on my Sony MDRV6. These are a bit deeper than the other pads, giving it slightly better bass.

                                            Really nice earcushions for my Sony Headphones.

                                            Just thought they would feel a little higher quality based on the reviews I was reading.

                                              Easy to install replacement pads for my V6's. Much nicer feel than stock pads.

                                                I installed these pads on my Sony MDR-7506 headphones because the original pads were falling apart. These ones are great. I kind of wish I had these from the beginning. The only part that I wasn't too happy about was that the backing pad (the part that covers the speaker) is not attached to the ear pad. It comes as a separate piece to be placed under the ear pad when installing. Once installed, the backing piece fits snug enough that it won't come apart from the rest. The sound is slightly different because of all the padding within he ear pad. I feel like the old pads reflected a lot of high frequencies, whereas this pair absorbs a lot of those frequencies, but it's nothing a little EQ can't fix. All in all, I'm very satisfied with the quality of these ear pads.

                                                  To be honest, I didn't pair these ear cushions with any Beyerdynamic or Sony product. I actually used them with my Ultrasone Hifi 780. The fake leather pads wore down after about two years, so I did my research and found these. The benefits are:

                                                  1. The comfort is fantastic, gone is the plasticity feel, the sweating, and pain from the old leather stock pads.

                                                  2. The bass will be deeper, more of it, and it will have more punch.

                                                  3. Mids will be better defined and easier to place the instruments.

                                                  4. Highs will loose some harshness and yet be clearer and with more detail

                                                  I own three pairs of Ultrasone's and the sound quality I got from these pads was definitely a major step up from the stock pads.

                                                  A MUST HAVE FOR ULTRASONE HIFI SERIES
