Hi guys,
 
So after 5 years of solid good use my pads are getting nasty and flat, but the official Sennheiser replacement pads on Amazon and Ebay are outrageously expensive, almost as much as my aftermarket cables, which I find ridiculous. I found a couple good-looking 3rd party options on Ebay:

If anybody can recommend one out of these three that won't hurt the sound quality or comfortability of the headphones, please let me know! Thank you!

I don't know the answer to your question. But if I wanted to know, I'd search this thread for information about pads and ask questions in it: http://www.head-fi.org/t/197776/sennheiser-hd650-impressions-thread
