I bought some MDR-1A earpads off ebay for 5 bucks, will report on how well they work versus stock. Hopefully no gluing will be necessary since the back is already made for similar looking plastic clips.
I finally got my MDR1a pads from China after 2 months... Here they are. The holes didn't match up so I had to cut mine own with xacto knife, but otherwise it's about the same thickness as the original, the foam doesn't feel quite as dense, but the opening is definitely a bit bigger.
Still testing, at home so it's too quiet to tell the effects on noise cancelling right now, will have wait till tomorrow's commute
here are some side by side pics
here's where I got them from, but since they're not much bigger than the original, I imagine it probably won't be drastically different sounding.
