What customers say
These Dekoni Hybrid Earpads are viewed as an essential upgrade for Beyerdynamic DT series owners, primarily delivering a dramatic improvement in comfort. The combination of dense memory foam and hybrid materials allows for extended, fatigue free listening sessions, effectively managing heat buildup common with stock pads. While comfort is universally praised, users also note positive acoustic changes, including tighter bass and a slightly wider soundstage due to the deeper cup design. Although some purists observe a slight darkening of the treble, the overall consensus is that the significant enhancement in ergonomics and refined sound justifies the investment. These pads transform the listening experience for serious audiophiles.
Know before you buy
The hybrid design combines a velour contact surface for breathability and comfort against your skin with a sheepskin outer ring. This combination provides the plush feel of velour while the sheepskin creates a better seal for improved sound isolation and bass response.
These pads are primarily designed for the Beyerdynamic DT770, DT880, and DT990 series, as well as the T1 and T5 models. They are also compatible with the AKG K240 and K271 series.
Because these pads use sheepskin on the outer ring, you may notice a slight increase in bass impact and sound isolation compared to all-velour pads. The velour face helps maintain a natural, comfortable sound profile during long listening sessions.
No, these ear pads are not washable. We recommend wiping them down gently with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth if they need cleaning, but avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.
The velour contact surface is specifically chosen for its soft, breathable feel, which prevents heat buildup during extended use. The internal cushioning is designed to maintain its shape and comfort over long periods.
