... the weakest part and easy to worn up part of a headphones is its ear pads... when my hd490 got worn up in the ear pads its very easy to fix and self made replacement pads... but i'm kind of scared when someday my 270 or 7506 got worn up ear pads since i cant buy any replacement in my country...

any idea how from you guys that have a tips or tricks when fixing or replacing the ear pads with self made one?

my 141M getting sticky in the ear pads becouse of its age.... any idea to fix it? since i cant buy replacement part here...

what headphones have the most durable ear pads? my engginer's marantz is more than 20 years old but the ear pads still good becouse it ist made from foam... just some cotton material...

any info guys?

almost pure speculation here but i think akg k501 pads would last quite a while. i've had mine only 6 months but the material seems very sturdy but still comfy. k501s i also think are the most accurate headphones i have except for that whole bass roll off.

another vote for the K501.

as far as the v7506, many upgrade to Beyer pads.
