Know before you buy
These earpads are specifically designed for the ATH-M50X, M50xBT, M50RD, M40X, M30X, and M20X models. They are engineered to fit the mounting mechanism of these specific headsets perfectly.
The memory foam creates a better seal around your ears, which can improve passive noise isolation and bass response. By restoring the proper distance between the driver and your ear, they help return the audio profile to its intended state.
No, these are designed as a direct replacement. You simply stretch the mounting flange of the new pad over the ear cup rim, similar to how the original pads were attached.
PU leather is a standard material for headphone cushions that provides a good balance of comfort and acoustic sealing. While it is generally breathable, it may retain slightly more heat than fabric or velour options during extended use.
No tools are required. The pads are designed to be installed by hand, though taking your time to ensure the material is seated evenly around the entire rim will ensure the best fit.
