Ear pads for the ATH-M20x? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hello!

I've had these headphones for a really long time now but it's really uncomfortable (see attached image).

I've seen a lot of people recommend the replacement ear pads from Brainwavz, saying that it makes the headphones way more comfortable. But a lot of people are also saying that it changes the sound in a negative way. Now I'm not really an audiophile but I'd prefer if I could avoid altering the sound by a lot while making the headphones more comfortable.

Someone also suggested the Shure SRH840A pads, which would be preferable since I could get it locally, but I'm not sure whether it fits on the ATH-M20x, since the seller's website says that it's only compatible with that model of headphones.

Which ear pad should I buy?

I’ve replaced the standard pads on a pair of MTH-50x with the angled protein leather ones from Brainwavz and didn’t notice the sound change much, if anything it changed it to being slightly more open and lively.

The same couldn’t be said of the micro suede pads on a pair of M1060Cs though. But nothing that couldn’t be fixed with a bit of EQ.

They are both good pads though. I’d recommend Brainwavz.

Seconded. Brainwavz are awesome for my M40x. Will be getting some more for my M50xBT2s at some point too.
