Leather pads for Ultrasone Pro 900

Hello, 

 

I've been going through all the threads, but couldn't find anything relevant. 

 

I got the Ultrasone Pro 900's a few months ago and I'm really enjoying them. I use them mostly at work through my FiiO E7. The only thing that bugs me are the ear pads. After long listening sessions they start to itch and make it very unpleasant to use. 

 

I've been looking everywhere for some leather pads for the Pro 900's, but can't find anything. I know some people have been using J$ pads, but I've read some bad reviews about them. I emailed Ultrasone yesterday and hopefully they have something I can use. 

 

Do you guys know of any places, maybe even locally in the Bay Area that can will make leather ear pads for these headphones. 

 

Thanks!

As far as I know, the PRO 550 is the exact same size as the PRO 900 and has pleather pads. Perhaps getting some replacement PRO 550 pads would solve your problem.

 

You are aware that switching to pleather will alter the sound, right? Most likely the bass will get bigger, which in the case of these cans, might mean that it will become hugely overpowering and muddy.

Thanks for the tip. I'm aware of the changes in sound, but I'm hoping it will not be too drastic. 

 

I think I will give Pro 550 pads a try if I can't find anything better.

Thanks for looking. 

 

I read that those pads cost about as much as the headphones. Maybe I can find someone on craiglist that has a broken pair and get the pads off those.
