SOULWIT Earpads for Sony WH-1000XM2(XM2) & MDR-1000X - Black

The Backstory: I bought my Sony WH-1000XM2s back in 2018 while visiting Japan. They have been my absolute favorite headphones for years and have truly stood the test of time. However, as you can see in my "Before" photo, the original earpads had finally given up. They were shredded and flaking, making them almost impossible to wear comfortably. Instead of replacing the whole unit, I tried these SOULWIT cushions, and I am not disappointed. The Installation (Watch for the Orientation!): The kit includes a small blue plastic prying tool that makes the process much safer than using a kitchen knife. - The "Click": Removing the old ones is straightforward with the tool. When installing the new ones, they are designed to "click" into the factory clips. - My Pro-Tip: On one side, I initially struggled to get the clips to engage. I realized I needed to flip the pad (top-to-bottom). Once I rotated it, it clicked into place perfectly in seconds. If it feels like it’s not seating right, don’t force it—just try flipping the orientation. The Result: The instructions are very easy to follow, and the "added thickness" of these pads is a welcome upgrade over the flattened originals. They feel plush and create a solid seal again. Why I recommend these: - Restores ANC: Because the seal is tight again, the noise cancellation feels like it did on day one. - Budget-Friendly: For a small investment, I saved a pair of premium headphones I’ve owned for 6+ years. - Complete Kit: You don’t need any extra tools; everything you need is in the box. Bottom Line: If you love your XM2s as much as I do, don't retire them just because the leather is peeling. These pads made my 2018 headphones feel brand new again. Just be patient with the alignment, and you’ll be back to listening in no time!

SOULWIT Replacement Earpads Cushions for Sony WH-1000XM2 & MDR-1000X Review If your Sony WH-1000XM2 or MDR-1000X headphones are starting to feel a bit worn out, the SOULWIT Replacement Earpads Cushions are an excellent upgrade. The added thickness and noise isolation foam make a noticeable difference in both comfort and sound quality. The ear pads are soft and comfortable, perfect for long listening sessions, and they fit snugly without slipping off. The installation is simple, and the earpads match the original design perfectly, providing a secure fit. Not only do they enhance comfort, but they also help with better noise isolation, making your headphones feel like new again. The black color blends seamlessly with the headphones, maintaining a sleek look. These earpads are a solid option if you’re looking to restore your headphones to their former comfort and performance.

Overall the quality is good and fits well. The earpads are cofortable.

After many many years of constant use, the foam in my OEM ear pads had gone so flat that my ear was starting to touch the inside of the cup (which is not just uncomfortable, but can hurt the driver!) These replacements are overall very nice. They are very comforatable, and come with the tools and instructions that made installing the replacements a painless <5 minute process. The only thing to note is that they don't seal out sound as well as the OEM pads did. I have to play my music or background noise track at a higher volume to drown out things compared to my OEM pads.

Really easy to install, comes with a plastic tool to remove the old ear cups. I had the best success starting at the top of each ear, and once you lever up one of the tabs, the rest of them just pull out by hand. Then the new cups just snap in easily. Pads are comfortable and they look just like the originals.

it gives my headphones a fresh breath. it has really good quality and it preserves my old headphones alive. I bought this item 3 years ago and it lasted for all this time. it only started breaking now so I bought a new one.

I purchased this pair of pads based on customer reviews and Amazon recommendations, but I am disappointed with my purchase. First of all I must say that I was certain that I would not receive exactly the same pads as the original ones, but what I got is quite far from that expectation. 1. Cushion. It is not, much less comfortable. Let's say I expected 75% less compared to the original but in the end I got 25% compared to the original. 2. Since comfort is linked to thickness and is already an issue, of course this will affect the ANC function of the headphones. I can hear sounds from outside almost like the old ones that I already needed to replace. 3. Easy to install and fit well. However, one of the pads started moving as if it didn't quite fit as it was supposed to. I have removed it and replaced it but something is not right and the attachment points are not damaged or broken either. In the end, I will have to put up with these that I have bought due to the lack of options that are reliable and worth spending money on.

Product as described. Installation was simple and quick. Headphones look new again.

Super nöjd!

Come da aspettative basate su altre recensioni. Calzano a pennello e sono praticamente uguali alle originali. L'unica mancanza che si potrebbe discutere é la parte dedicata alla membrana che copra il woofer, ma la mia anche dopo 5/6 anni é ancora come nuova quindi non mi é cambiato granché. Volevo acquistare quella in gel rinfrescante ma il colore troppo diverso (tendente al grigio invece che nero) e la forma "più squadrata/piatta" dei cuscinetti mi hanno fatto puntare alla versione Nera normale. Prossimo giro (se le cuffie mi dureranno altri 5 anni) potrei pensare a quelle in gel.

XM2のイヤーパッド悪くなってきたので交換。 互換性はありますが正直質感は当たり前ですがオリジナルの方が良い。

These ear pads are exactly as described. They fit my phones perfectly because of this. Comfortable, soft and effective. I will need a few months to be able to make a call on quality/longevity.

My old ear cups were looking very tatty so I bought these to replace them. Very easy to fit and they've given my headphones a new lease of life. Feel slightly less comfortable than the old ones, but I can't complain for the price. I don't believe these have impacted the noise cancellation at all.
