Memory Foam Cushion Ear Pads Compatible with Hifiman Arya Ananda Edition XS X HE1000se HE1000 V2 Jade II Headphone Replacement EarPads (Full Sheepskin)

Until I found these, I thought it was either Dekoni or all those mystery brands on aliexpress that I didn’t want to wait a month for to arrive. I really wanted to love Dekoni as they are extremely comfortable and I love how seriously they take the frequency response even providing graphs showing the exact change in the sound! Sadly they are also not cheap, muffle the sound too much, and are nearly impossible to remove on Hifiman headphones without breaking the mounting tabs.I finally decided to take a risk with these Voarmaks and I’m so glad I did!!! These fit perfectly just like the OEM pads and are breeze to install and remove!!! Like any aftermarket pad, depending on which model you get, they do change the sound a little bit but so far I found the fenestrated to have the best sound for my hifiman Edition XS with the least amount of change from the original headphone tuning. They are also literally a fraction of the cost of the Dekoni’s also making them an outstanding value. If I were to nitpick, I would prefer for there to be no fabric in the center of the donut, however other that I can’t recommend these enough, well done Voarmaks!!EDIT: after removing the mesh inside the pads (not necessary on newer Hifiman headphones which already have the mesh on the driver itself) these pads came to life & are now my personal favorite for all egg shaped hifiman headphones over any other pad on the market including ZMF!!! I highly recommend removing the mesh for a much more lively & clear sound!!

I got these for $21 and change and compared to the stock pads they are just as good and don't get me started and the Dekoni pads that are $60 to $100. The Dekoni pads a good quality but on a lot of headphones I've tried them on the can change the SQ to much and it's not always for the better (though the ones I got for my Focal headphone made them sound much better). For under $25 you can't go wrong with these cuz the fit easy, are comfortable, and don't change the SQ as far as I can tell.

The stock pads on my Hifiman Edition XS feel scratchy against my face and I could never get the position quite right to seal properly against my head.These pads, in contrast, feel soft and comfy and the memory foam seals perfectly even with glasses on.

I have installed these pads on my Ananda. The factory pads had began to peel as they always do with this and other Hifiman models. It's disgusting that put those garbage pads on such a great set of headphones. Hifiman should be ashamed. Also hybrid-style pads are almost always a poor choice. I have never seen where they actually help sound quality.Too the matter at hand.... These pads are fantastic. I was skeptical to say the least about them being actual sheepskin considering the price. I didn't try any other replacement pads before these so I cannot compare them to the other brands, but I don't see any need. These are more comfortable than the original pads ever were and they are all sheepskin with none of that gross fabric that ends up like a sweaty gym sock after hours of listening. These can be easily cleaned and cared for with a leather cleaning kit. The memory foam is just the right density for me so the seal is good. I only notice a slight change in sound and it seems that the sub-bass is a little more prominent and assertive, but YMMV. In summary, don't be hesitant of these due to price. They are what they say and the fit well. They look nice and will likely last much longer than the originals. I have many high-end headphones. My other Hifiman models that use these type pads will get these too when the time comes. Happy listening!!!

I really want to like these pads. At this point, however, I'm not so sure. OK so here's the deal: I purchased the HiFiMan Arya Stealth back in November as an early gift to myself for Christmas. The stock pads are still in very good condition and don't need replacement. Currently I am forced to do a physical rehab stint after suffering a fall and I am using my headphones connected up to a Fiio BTR17 DAC/Amp from a 10th Gen iPad. While I am here I thought it necessary to get myself a bit shorter cable, a five foot 4.4mm balanced, which I purchased in a purple color. I then decided to try a pair of new pads and I discovered these. Would they match? Well they don't, but close enough.I have to say they were super simple to install, taking about two minutes at most. They look good and they really are soft, softer than the stock pads by a large margin. Herein lies the rub.These pads change the way the headphones sit upon my head first of all. Being so much softer, the level of clamp force, while not much at all, compresses the pad on each ear to feel crushed and I'm thinking that they won't hold up long. Just a squeeze of the pad indicates that same impression. They are too soft.I listened to these for a couple of hours before having to remove them and put the stock pads back on. So far as to how they actually sound, they aren't bad but I felt they were a bit muffled, although in full disclosure I did not remove the fabric as some reviews suggest. I had my wife bring a pair of scissors but wanted to hear them first. At this point I am inclined to return them. I think some folks will enjoy them. They really do come at an attractive price but I think I'll stick with the HFM pads for now.

Great sheepskin pads for just over 35 bucks. Came in package smelling like cleaner.Good to know they were cleaned and sterilized.

Easy to install. Fit well. I prefer this to the original. Noticed an improved bass. They are more comfortable too.
