TRANSTEK SHP9500 Replacement Ear Pads Compatible with SHP9500 Over-Ear Headphones I Memory Foam Ear Cushions with Breathable Hole (Hybrid)

I love my headset it's an 8/10 for me and I have been using it since 2016. In those 5 years I took the original pads off once and washed them and put them back on...but now they are pretty worn and grimey again... I figured I would try these new pads. I LOVE THEM. they feel better, they actually connected no problem, have a nicer leather pad around the memory foam, and the part that sits on your ears is plush. So comfy! (And I wear these 10 hrs a day everyday easily as I work from my home office) They also made the headset fit my head better than ever as they are just a touch thicker than the originals (unless the originals were flat from all the 5 years worth of usage...but I always felt it was just off of being snug)....They now sit snug and comfy. one more note is that the only thing I really thought could be better about the headset was it let a little too much outside sound in the old pads...these block the sound by probably 5 db...so again this is something I like!!! (maybe you won't) overall, I spent $30 on replacement pads as opposed to $130 to buy the headset again, and I think this headset is a 10/10 now!!!

These shp9500 replacement earpads fit perfectly. They come with the adapter ring connected to the earpads just like the original stock pads. So you pry off the stock pads, then line up these pads, then push them on. Done. The build and materials on these pads are different than the stock pads. These pads have a pleather siding on the foam, with a very soft type of velour on top; the part that rests against your head. The openings for your ears are a bit smaller on these pads. They measure, from top to bottom 65mm ( 2 5/8 in.) and, from side to side 40mm (1 5/8 in.) On the original stock pads, top to bottom 70mm (2 7/8 in.) and, from side to side 50mm (2 in.) These pads are thicker with a really nice soft feeling velour. They are also deeper than the originals. The result is these pads feel a lot snugger so the headphones don't feel like they're going to slide off your head with the slightest movement of your head, like the original. These pads do change the sound . They reduce the treble and increase the bass. Some people may or may not like the change in sound. I like these pads a lot. The fit and feel is much better than original stock pads in my opinion. As far as sound, well that depends on the individual. I have 2 pairs of shp9500s. Yesterday after submitting my review I did a more extensive listening test, going back and forth between the original pair with stock pads and the other pair with these new pads. The difference between the two was really noticeable. The new pads increase the bass a lot and reduce the treble a lot too, such that they really sound completely different than the stock shp9500. If you really like the sound of the shp 9500, be forewarned, that with the new pads they sound like completely different headphones. The change is so drastic that some people might not like the sound. You don't get the same clarity and sharpness on vocals and instruments; but if you like a lot of bass you'll get it with these pads. The fit feel and comfort with these pads is great though.

Excellent ear pads for my SHP9500's. I have had these cans for quite a while they still work as the day I bought them, the pads were a little worse for wear. Just be careful prying loose the old ones, use something flat and be gentle. New ones snapped right in no issue and are very comfortable, sound quality still superb. Would buy again.

These definitely fit the SHP9500 headphones. They didn't include any instructions so after cutting the original pads to pieces and trying to figure it out I realized that the manufacturer pads and these new replacement pads both have little clips. Yank the old ones off and throw em in the trash and these will snap right on. These have MUCH more padding than the originals, it will change the fit and feel completely. There is more room for my ears in these new ones, they don't feel like they're being pushed against my head. But they also change the sound. These block out more sound than the originals, that is a user preference, I actually like the sound of the original ones more. And the extra distance of the headphones from the head with the new pads required me to set my headphones at a higher volume. They are comfortable for long term wear. The quality is fine, not amazing, and I may update this if I remember in the future to give an idea of how long they may last.

My old pads were tearing after around 5 years of use, so I bought these to replace them. Comfort wise, I think it's just as good, if not an improvement. Clamps your head a bit more tightly and the material is fantastic. No complaints. Installation was a breeze. Pop the old ones out, press the new ones in, took a few minutes total. Sound is my only complaint. These pads remove some of the open-back qualities the stock pads had by muffling sound and alter the soundstage a bit. I'm not a huge audiophile so it's not a dealbreaker for me but to my amateur ears, the bass was far stronger and mids/treble seems to have gotten muddier. I like being aware of my surroundings so the first point kinda sucks, but it's not enough for me to return these. I'll probably just play around the EQ a bit until I find something that's not too bad. Overall, they're fine. Decent price and good quality. Just be warned of the sound getting altered.
