Memory Foam Cushion Ear Pads for Hifiman Arya Ananda Edition XS X HE1000se HE1000 V2 Jade II Headphone Replacement EarPads (Elite Velour Hybrid)

Love these pads for the he1000se. More comfortable overall, warmer, and effectively tame the treble without negatively affecting bass articulation. I had the ZMF sub pads ($90) and hated how dark/veiled they sounded compared to these and the stock pads. Later found I had to tear out the center fabric but even then, they only sound as good as these $20 voarmaks.

These are the best earpads I've tried so far for the Arya Stealth. For reference I've owned the ZMF Perforated Lambskin, Dekoni Elite Velour, and the stock hybrid pads that came with the Arya Stealth. In testing these earpads they are easily the most comfortable I have worn. The change to the sound is actually better in my opinion. The bass is a little punchier and the treble smoothed a bit. Even with those changes I don't hear significant changes to the clarity, sound separation, soundstage, or detail. 10/10 in my book. Try them out.

The ear pads don't line up completely so if that bothers you, you might want to skip this one. Other than this, the ear pads are thicker than the stock pads and much more comfortable than the stock pads. The pads don't change the sound much but the thicker pads do slightly make a difference in terms of resolution in exchange for a bit more sound stage. I plan on using these for as beaters because they are affordable and simple enough to keep clean. The black on the pleather don't seem to come off even with cleaning solutions, so I'm hopeful that these will hold up. One star knocked off because of differences in pad sizes and fit being wonky.

Fantastic for HE1000SE. The Elite Velour Hybrid version fit incredibly well, are 10x’s more comfortable than the stock pads. I rarely used these headphones due to comfort and fit on my head, these pads change all that, and I can wear them for hours if I want to. They do seem to add a bit of bass, and possibly tame the sharpness a hair. FYI, I listened before cutting out the thin material and they did sound a tiny bit muffled, no longer the case after removing it.

Super comfortable, still breathable and still sounds great. Quality is good and fits the Edition XS well. I could not use the Edition XS with my glasses, the slightest head movement would cause a squeaking noise due to the fabric material sliding against the glasses frame. This solves that entirely and is more comfortable on the skin while still being more breathable compared to fully leather/pleather pads.

Installed on Ananda Nanos. Seemed to tame the peaky highs and add some warmth and weight to the notes. Comfort is higher than oem. Install was a breeze BUT they come with this fabric pictured over the driver that oem pads do not. I took a sharp pocket knife and cleanly sliced it off. No need double the fabric over the driver imo. For the price they are amazing. And quick delivery, shipped from amazon not china.

These really decrease the soundstage of my Hifiman Arya Organics. Massively lowers the treble response and even with eq, it can't be corrected. Very strange. I even put one original pad on the left and one of these on the right. Very obvious.

Excellent for the price. Easy to install as well. might change the sound slightly however.

Excellent Pads. Way way way more comfy than OEM pads. The OE pads were itchy for me and got very hot, really fast. These pads have none of those problems, and are very soft to the touch (velour) and have like a very soft memory foam inside. Also being deeper, your ear doesn't touch the fabric protection on the inside. I have used them for over 8 months daily, and still looking like new, although i ware glasses. I highly recommend them! In terms of sound I have attached a measurement from my MiniDsp HEARS.

I've been using them for more than a year on a Hifiman Arya Stealth, they are simply... excellent. Very comfortable, elegant, and after a year, still no signs of wear. Highly recommended!

Ottimo pad per la mia arya v2 ,comodo e l audio non ne risente negativamente.

Tenho um hifiman edition xs há 4 anos. Esta almofada de substituição deixou ele como novo. Muito confortável e de fácil instalação com encaixe perfeito.

The sound is smoother compared to stock and they are so much more comfortable than stock which are too rigid for long listening sessions without having fatigue. Hopefully these last the long run, but if they don't they aren't too expensive to replace. All in all, love these pads.
