original pads starting tearing, easy to install and fits like original. very comfortable to wear. quality is good and use these every single day and still like the day i installed them.

These are easy to install, lot of people in the reviews apparently have no dexterity. Starting at the top or bottom of the earpiece, slip the rim of the back part into the groove, hold it in place with a finger, and then work the rim into the groove all the way around. Takes like a minute per side, it's not difficult at all.The gel doesn't cool, obviously (don't get why they advertise it this way; you'd need to incorporate some sort of metal heat sink to dissipate heat to the ambient air), but it does feel comfy. As does the silk part that actually contacts your head; can't speak to its sweat absorption, but it'll be better than the original vinyl which absorbs nothing. Sound insulation is comparable to the stock earpads. All in all, a solid buy.

I purchased the SOULWIT Cooling-Gel Ear Pads Cushions to replace the stock ear pads on the Sennheiser HD 4.50 BTNC, which were peeling after about 5 years of use. These are very comfortable, and nice feeling.They're a little different from the stock pads (slightly softer feel, cloth on the part that touches your head), but very serviceable replacements for a reasonable price.They're a little fiddly to install, largely due to the way Sennheiser has designed them to fit, but once installed they're very secure and look great. Just bring a little patience with you, and you'll be fine.

I had to replace the original ear pads since the glue was degrading and exposing the foam. The installation was not as bad as I thought. Took less than 5 minutes once I figured it out. These are a little different since they have a cooling gel, but it fits great and I haven't noticed a difference in sound quality or the noise cancellation.

These replacement ear pads were easy to install. They are very, very comfortable. I'm in a high temperature environment and my ears are not sweating with use.No strange odours out the box. Minimal packaging. Fit my headphones as described.Good buy. Recommended.

Overall very good product! I do wish they were entirely cloth, since the leather material degrades more noticeably over time. But they are better than the original ear pads in my opinion.These ear pads are fairly easy to install as long as you are careful in stretching them over the headphones like the instructions say. I eventually got them installed, but I was scared I would tear or rip them in the process.Overall these are very high quality! Feel great, comfortable for long listening sessions, and they feel very similar to the original ear pads. I personally was hoping they would feel more like cloth than the leather used in the original ear pads, but alas, they feel like the originals.As for the cooling-gel in the cushions, I don't think it actually does anything to cool around the ears. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. I definitely wouldn't say these substantially cool like the description says they do however.

Installation went great, in 5-10 minutes it was all done, the pads feel great, you can really feel the subtle coldness of the gel, they feel solid and sturdy, but of course they're new, I'll have to see how they hold up after a few months of use.Definitely would recommend, I'm even looking for these same ear pads for my Sony headphones.

all of the ear pads for these are hard to install, but I find it easiest if you start on the long side. You also have to stretch them quite hard to get it all the way around.as for the ear pads themselves, they're very nice and comfortable. I only notice the cooling for the first couple minutes but I like the cloth more than the leather.
