HIFIMAN Replacement Focus Ear Pads (pair)

The velour side feels much more breathable than the all-leather pads I tried before, and they fit my HE-400i perfectly without any fuss. Really comfortable for long listening sessions now.

I was a bit worried about fit, but these velour-and-leather pads snug onto my HE-500s perfectly. The texture feels much more comfortable than the old pleather-only ones, and the sound stage seems a touch wider now.

Finally, a pair of earpads that don’t make my ears sweat after an hour of listening. The velour inner lining is noticeably more breathable than all-leather options. They snapped onto my HE-400i without any fuss.
