Another quick question: Are these valour earpads, or some cheap knockoff? The description says "pleather" but I find that hard to believe.

umm what's the difference between velour and velvet?

By the way, I've read on this site that a pair of earpads for AKG K701 or K702 or Q701
(are they the same?) costs $70, if I remember correctly.
If it's true it's a crime.
Yes that's roughly accurate - they're around $35/ea for the K701, and $40/ea for the 702. That's actually fairly in-line with most headphones' replacement earpads, Koss and Grado excepted.

I just put some Pearstone Deluxe Replacement Earpads onto my Ultrasone HFI-780.
They make them as a replacement for the:
Sony MDR-7506
Sony MDR-V6
Senal SMH-1000
Audio Technica ATH-M30
I tested a couple of bass songs with them and I didn't really notice a Night and Day change in the sound. A little less bass maybe but a lot more comfortable. The ear hole is a tad smaller on these pads but it did not bother me at all, more testing to be done down the road.
So will these fit the M50?
From what I had searched for and read here, the ATH-M50's have 45mm drivers where the ATH-M30's only have 40mm drivers and these pads will only fit the 30's.
Apparently the TurtleBeach X31 pads fit the M50's and also the beyerdynamic DT250 pads are supposed to fit.
Also from what I've read these pads change the sound of the ATH-M50's by quite a bit, so you might want to try the TurtleBeach ones first as they are only $1.95 each...
