Pearstone Replacement Earpads vs. Original Earpads for Sony MDR-7506 & MDR-V6 *** Pictures ***

I got these Pearstone replacement earpads from B&H Photos.  They fit Sony MDR-V6 and MDR-7506.  These velour earpads are easy to install and sounds identical to the OEM ones.  They don't get hot like the OEM ones and should last a lot longer.

The Pearstone pads are quite good. Honestly though I think the standard V6 pads keep my ears cooler. Not saying you're wrong normal_smile%20.gif

I used the Pearstone Velour pads for 5 hours while playing Bioshock 2 one night and I had to remove them because my ears were burning up.

 

Somehow the M30 pads are the best for keeping your ears cool. It seems to have more "lines" on the pad and this seems to help for whatever reason.

 

I use the Sony MDR-V6 pads on my DJ100 and they're circumaural for this headphone since they stretch out a bit.

 

I wish all velour pads could be as good as those on the Beyer Dynamic headphones!

Are there any replacement real leather pads for the "leatherette" (called "leather" in the product description) appearing pads coming on more recent Sony SA5000? The older ones have real leather.

Not to my knowledge.  I am fine with the fake leather.

Sorry to hijack your thread mate. Just a quick question, would these earpads work with mdr v700 as well? I don't like the leather earpads on them and am looking to replace them. If not, can you suggest which ones I should get? Thanks a bunch!

Could anyone tell me how to get the old pads off the 7506's?  Is there a diagram?  I checked youtube but no luck.

 

Thanks!

Just pull on the pads gently on all sides and it should come off. Just the pads should come off.

Thanks for the B&H Pearstone suggestion for the V6. My old pads were flaking all over the place and these new ones are quite nice. Here's to another few years with the V6!

You're welcome. It's a good product.  Please keep us posted on how you like it.

In addition to these Pearlstone pads, you could also try the DT250 pads. They're both velour and will replace the flaky old pads.
