Geekria Comfort Velour Replacement Ear Pads for Sennheiser HD598, HD598SE, HD598CS, HD595, HD599, HD599 SE Headphones Ear Cushions, Repair Parts (Brown)

Just like new, wow. Feels like black and white. Definitely worth it. Highly recommend. Can't see how the OEM ones would be any better at double the price.

Fit great on my HD599s. Comfortable, good firmness, and form a good seal around the ear.Have had these for a year and a half and they're holding up great.

I bought a pair of these for my Sennheiser 558s since Sennheiser is making the official ear cup replacements harder to find and more expensive every year. So, I thought I'd try out a third party. My ear cups are about 3-4 years old so it was time for a replacement.Pros1. They are comfortable. Good padding, good velour cover, and the texture is similar enough that it doesn't really feel much different from the original ear cups.2. Decently priced. Official ear cup replacements go for $35+ for the 558/598/etc series of headphones if you can even find them. These are in stock, available now, and approximately half the price.3. Good attention to detail here. They have a similar design to the official earcups, which includes having leatherette on the insides of the ear cup (it changes the sonic properties). They also snap to the frame just like the originals. Design and installation is very similar overall to the originals.4. They don't change the sound signature, at least not that I noticed. I mean, there's the obvious change when going from a beat up, flat, old ear cup to a fresh set that still holds its original shape, but my headphones still sound like the same old Sennheiser 558s that I've been using for nearly a decade.5.Neutral1. They are not the same overall shape as the original Sennheiser ear cups. Geekria's ear cups are fatter than the original ear cups, so the ear cup feels larger when you wear them. Some people may like it, others may not, but you can tell the difference between this and the real ear cups when you put them on.Cons1. Not sure yet. Other than being a little warmer, the velour being a little different, and the ear cups being fatter, there isn't such a massive difference that it entirely changes the experience. However, I did prefer the slightly stiffer, slimmer, and slightly softer official ear cups from Sennheiser more. That isn't Geekria's fault in the slightest. It's literally just preference.Overall, this is a good purchase, especially since Sennheiser doesn't seem like it wants to stock ear cups for this lineup of headphones consistently (and when it does, it overcharges for them dramatically). So, I greatly appreciate that a third party has taken up the reigns and given us some way to keep our headphones alive and kicking. I am satisfied with my purchase, even if it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, and since these ear cups are getting harder and harder to find, I'll likely be back when my headphones need new pads.Thank you Geekria. These are almost as good as the originals (to me, at least), and that's more than good enough for a thumbs up from me.

These feel very close to OEM sennheiser velour pads! Fitment is good, they securely snapped onto my HD598Cs. Install was very easy with included tool. Got my old headset looking and feeling new again!! Would buy again!!

Took a gamble buying these ear pads, sense I got them for the HD558s, which are not listed, at least not that I could find any where, though I expected they might fit given they do list many of the headphones in the same line, and well, they do fit, these replaced pads that I had 3 years plus and had started to come apart at the seems,They feel just as good as the originals, I don't know if they feel better, sense its been at least 3 years sense I've felt the originals new, but they don't feel bad at all, it was interesting to find out just how deflated the originals had gotten after replacing them, I had to extend the speakers out more so that my ears would fit inside the pads once more,The only thing I can tell that might be a con, but this is nitpicking, is that the padding seems to come inward more so, I mean the inner diameter seems smaller, though its all too possible that I had just stretched out the originals so much after taking them off to clean them over the years, the other possible con, again nitpicking, is the inner material, soft but I am worried that I may easily rip it trying to take the ear pads off for cleaning.That all said, given if I wanted a new set of the originals, it'd cost me nearly double these did, I say these are well worth the price, that is, if they last longer then half the original ones did heh, still for now, happy with my purchase.

Perfect fit and they feel fantastic. I ordered replacements for my brown Senheisser HD 598, installed them, and immediately ordered another set for my Senheisser HD599! Thank you!

Install was easy with the provided tools and the fit is perfect. I noticed no difference in sound quality and, while a bit firmer, these are very comfortable. Saved me from buying a new set!

After almost two years of replacing the previous ear pad replacements and daily driving these, the seam finally tore in the right ear pad. These ear pads had a good run, I wasn't ever bothered by how they felt on my head.
