Dekoni Audio Choice Suede Replacement Ear Pads

Rating:

Needed some new earpads for my Philips Fidelio X2HR headphones after the originals started to fall apart.

These weren't my first choice due to the relatively high price (~50% of a new pair of headphones!), but after a bad experience with a cheaper brand - which turned out not to fit despite being listed as compatible on their website - I decided to give the Dekoni pads a go.

Even before fitting them, the difference in quality was obvious.

They arrived well presented in a nice box, and the materials and build quality are fantastic.

They fit the headphones perfectly - not noticing a discernible difference to the sound compared to the stock pads, but they are a lot more comfortable!

I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy them again

I replaced the stock leather earpads that came with the Sony WH-1000xm4 which was causing my ears to sweat with these padded replacements. They were delivered promptly and the tool provided meant that removing the old earpads and fitting the new ones was not too fiddly or difficult.

The new earpads were not the cheapest and they are quite chunky in size but they are comfortable and the material means my ears don't sweat.

So a very solid 4/5 and worth considering if leather earpads are not your thing.
