Lifespan of HD650 Velour ear pads?

[orbitalpunk]

How often do the Velour ear pads need to be cleaned? also what is there lifespan before needing replacement?

Thanks

I think that will heavily depend on total hours on the head but mainly how oily/dirty the users hair/ears are. I guess they eventually get depressed a bit. Mine are still very clean at over one year but I'm a clean freak. I've never washed mine.

i wonder if they last as long as leather ones.

I don't recall seeing leather 650 pads.
