Fostex TH900mk2 Ersatz-Ohrpolster (Paar)

I wasn't sure if aftermarket pads would be worth it, but these are clearly made to the same spec as the originals. The foam cushioning is noticeably more supportive than I expected, making long listening sessions much more comfortable.

The foam cushioning is noticeably firmer than stock pads, which actually helps keep the soundstage stable during long listening sessions. The protein leather feels smooth against my ears, and the matched set means both sides wear evenly from day one.

It’s a relief to find pads that match the original fit so closely—the protein leather feels just as smooth against my skin as I’d hoped, and the foam cushion is firm enough to keep the seal without being too stiff.
