SOULWIT Lambskin Professional Replacement Earpads Cushions for Sony WH-1000XM3 (WH1000XM3) Over-Ear Headphones, Ear Pads Cushions with Noise Isolation Foam, Added Thickness - Brilliant Black

I bought a used set of Sony wh-1000xm3 headphones, absolutely mint condition, but thought I would get new ear pads for them as they felt a bit too soft and not as much of the "memory" left in the foam, albeit, still very usable.I decided to go with these ones as there's fairly good reviews and no major complaints about bad quality etc.My slight concerns were A. Would I break my headphones when trying to fit the pads , and B. Is sound quality and noise cancelling be compromised with these?First, the replacement is really easy. They provide instructions and a wee spatula to lever the plastic rim with the pad on it, out of its plastic fixings. Takes about 5min for first one and about 2min for other when you get a feel for it.Meant to say that they are pretty much identical to Sony's pads in quality, only a bit thicker with a slightly smaller interior where your ears will be. That made me a bit apprehensive as far as comfort and sound was concerned.So, I replaced one and put some music on to hear and feel the difference. Yes, there definitely seems to be a difference in that the new pad attenuates the highs but delivers a solid bass, but I was kind of expecting that anyway. The noise cancellation was slightly better with the new pad!After fitting the other one I reset the pressure for noise cancellation and didn't even change the EQ settings because I actually really like the sound I'm getting.It's impossible to know at this point how comfortable these will be for long periods but after half hour they feel fine. My ears still fit into the cups, just a bit more snug now.Overall, at this point I definitely recommend these if you need new pads. Quality is comparable to originals and, of course they change the sound but nothing that a small tweak with EQ can't fix if you don't like it. Good quality at a good price!

Does exactly what it says. The tool helps to remove the old ones, then fitting the new ones is easy peasy.They feel and look the same as the originals and the noise cancelling is not impacted in my experience.Looking forward to my fresh feeling headphones!

The quality seems really good. My original ear pads had worn out and started to fall apart so got these and changed it and now my headphones look like brand new. These ones seem a bit more cushioned compared to the original ones and fit as good as them.

The ear pads on my Sony WH-1000XM3 needed replacing. I would usually opt for a genuine replacement, but getting the spares ear pads is difficult.I wear my headphones all the time. Every single day, for hours on end, on average, 8 hours! I use them to isolate and cancel noise, even when no music is playing. They are my most valuable personal asset. I love them! Thus, the need to replace the pads with equal or better performance was significant.I ummed and arred about buying these replacement pads. For several reasons, including comfort, isolation, and of course, sound. I looked at some competitors and opted for the SOULWIT brand. I am so pleased. In fact, ‘pleased’ is an understatement.The replacement of the old pads is straight forward. Using the provided tool, you prise the edge to lift the plastic connectors to disconnect each pad. Then, you apply the new pads and you’re done! I was nervous about snapping the connectors, but I achieved a clean replacement. Be patient, apply force, but not too much and you’ll be good.There was one downside I must report. When you remove the pad, you will see a small piece of material protecting the driver on both channels. Because of excessive use, this material was dirty and torn. But, the manufacturer does not provide this as a replacement piece — they should. Even if it adds a couple of pounds to the price. It’s an important part that could be replaced at the same time as the ear cups. Instead, I had to wash the material in soapy water, and even fix a part with some glue because the material had torn. Thankfully, all is well.Besides that, once you try the new pads, you will immediately notice how full they feel. BUT.. this memory foam, in time, flattens. That’s a good thing, as they become closer to the original ear pads. As the ear pads flatten, this results in comfort and excellent noise cancellation. But, worth noting is the size of the ear holes. The replacement pads are smaller than Sony’s, which is a shame. As a result, they might not be suitable for people with big ears. But I have small ears, so they fit well.I write this review after 8 months of use at about 8 hours a day. That equates to umm, a lot of hours! As I look at them while I write this review, I must admit, the quality is extraordinary. The memory foam has flattened, but there’s no wearing of the material. They look as good as new.I am so very pleased with this purchase. It was one of the most sensible buying decision of the year. And, if you’re in the market to extend the life of your Sony WH-1000XM3, you might want to consider these beauties.

Good quality pads, very comfortable though i havent tried wearing them for >20min.Noise cancelling works well

I'd been on the fence about changing my XM3 ear cushions based on feedback that the active noise cancelling was not as good but since changing these I shouldn't have worried. I can't tell any difference in sound quality but what I do notice is improved comfort. I'd not noticed how flat and useless the original cushions had become due to heavy usage. These replacements were incredibly easy to fit; I didn't time it but I believe a couple of minutes was all it took. I'd do commend them to anyone on the fence about changing.

They are indeed a bit bigger, but they are comfortable, good noise isolation.Different ones: I actually bought now lambskin option which is more expensive so I expected it might be better. However, the lambskin are not comfortable, doesn't have passive noise isolation. I'm actually disappointed and wish I just had bought the same again.

Easy to install and great to use. Much cheaper than buying new headset!

My ears were suffering as the speakers element was pushing on them. The instructions and installation equipment were clear and easy to use. The result feels like brand new earphones.

Ponto alto da Amazon e da transpostadora: Entrega da encomenda dentro do prazo prometido.Obrigado!

Quedaron perfectas y hacer el remplazo fue sumamente fácil. Se ven igual que las originales y parece ser más cómodas.

This is a very nice product, easy to install, good quality fit and finish
