Fit. Worked. Saved my ears, gotta like that.Inexpensive way to rejuvenate these headphones

I should have take a before photo ... it was pretty sad; they went downhill fast in the past couple years. These replacements were incredibly easy to install: I was not expecting that. They came with some flat oval foam that looks like it was designed to go inside over the drivers, but there was none there currently, so I didn't put it in. Was there originally foam that I removed some time in the last 10y? I don't know. They fit great, look great, and feel great. The sound is unchanged, as expected. After this experience I splurged on the headband pad from the same manufacturer. It requires a little care if you want it straight. It's also great.

Replacement was easy enough. Rather than pulling the old pads straight out, it was easiest to flex the long side of the pad to the side (in the direction of your face, if you were wearing them) and then walk the rest of the pad out from under the several plastic clips that hold the pad in place. Installation was easy, I hooked the top of the pad on/under a clip, and then snapped the rest of it into place by applying firm pressure on the pad into the headset. (taking steps, starting from the top, around the sides, then the bottom) These pads are quite a bit thicker than the old pads, but that may be due to the age of the old ones. I didn't notice any significant sound changes.

I got these for my HD560s, I've bought other replacements from other brands multiple times and this brand specially is pure trash. They will not clip or fit on HD560s, I know it can be annoying to put them on in the first place but these flat out don't clip in. There's nothing for it to even grab on to for both pads, and again I have othe replacements, and even the original stock one, and I can put them on just fine. I spent half an hour trying to force them to clip on in any way possible with no luck. The cheap quality and misaligned size and ring for it shows this is just another chinese cheap waste product. On top of that the fabric looks nothing like the picture, its super scratchy, and super thin, it's almost like a toy copy of a real product.

I had a pair for my TV downstairs which the earpads were falling apart, the circles had broken and the foam was coming out. I was told by my brother, who is an audiophile and loves good sound along with quality headphones; that buying these and replacing the old the earpads. He was right! I watched a Youtube video which showed how to install them, and the person doing the video was actually doing it for the the first time himself! That's how easy it is to replace the earmuffs! These can feel a little hard at first, but after a few days, they feel comfortable. I plan on buying a second set for my PC version of my Sennheiser HD595 when the time comes! Highly recommended!

I replaced the OEM pads on my HD558s that were falling apart and these did the job. I'm glad to have a velour option because I hate the vinyl and pleather pads. The foam hasn't started to get squishy yet. They're not as nice as the OEM pads but also they're half the price, if you can even get the OEM ones.

They look and feel nice and the sound doesn't seem to be that different from the stock earpads, but unfortunately, one of the two I got seems to be out of tolerance and will not stay on the earcup. Left one went on well and stays, but the right one seems _slightly_ too small and will not go on and stay. Cannot get it to stretch and hook/latch at all. I have tried so many times.

As of writing this review, these pads are not advertised to fit on the HD558. However, they fit perfectly on them! They feel comfortable, soft, and the price is less than half when compared to the genuine replacement. Sound quality isn't impacted at all (which is a good thing). Also, the installation was a snap! (Pun intended). Easy and quick installation. I can't speak for durability at the moment, because I just purchased these. Nonetheless, my initial impressions are good! Well worth the purchase.
