SOULWIT Earpads for Sony WH-1000XM3 - Black | for WH1000XM3(XM3) Headphones

I've had my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones since 2018. These are my daily go to headphones. Unfortunately, this year the ear pads started to peel off and look very worn out. I was worried I'd have to buy a whole new set of headphones. Luckily, I found these replacement pads on here! I was worried about the installation, but the package came with a tool and instructions that were very easy to follow. I was able to take out the old ear pads and install the new ear pads under 5 minutes. The actual replacement ear pads are identical to the original Sony ones. You can't even tell the difference. The replacement ear pads have great adhesive quality, they do not feel cheap they feel firm and stiff. My headphones feel brand new now, they fit snug and do not cause any irritation. The replacement ear pads look and feel brand new. The replacement ear pads function well, they have not affected any of the noise canceling function of the headphones. They fit snug on my ears. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has these headphones. I will be buying a few more to stock up on for the future.

These are terrific. The fit into place perfectly and quite easily. There is a small toll provided to remove the old earpads. The sound and the noise cancelling functions at baseline levels.The padding is comfortable, and I find it equal to the factory level of comfort. My headphones are an older model but still working well. The new pads refreshed them!

These worked perfectly. The pads are basically identical to the ones that originally came with my WH-1000MX3 headphones. Switching out the old pads was easy and took about two minutes. My old pads were pretty worn out and now it’s like a I have a new pair of headphones.

First part had a manufacturing defect they stood by it. Works great otherwise. Didn't align right. Second one was ok. I'll try to address the concerns i had. I needed new pads but really didn't want to mess up a good thing. - anc -- the same/close/not impacted much -comfort-- needs beak in They feel better than the original after break in, to me it didn't start that way. I'd had to put about 20-30 hours in. They soften up and then leveled off. After about a month or so they are as soft as the original but a touch springier. This brought the anc up after they softend I tried several here was my experience: I tried a-b testing with an air filter it produces about 78 db of sound The test products Brainwavz These original wicked cushion Results Brainwavz anc really bad comfort good quality/look good These quality ok not horrible. anc fantastic (virtual tie) comfort fantastic (best) original quality good but they don't hold up so durability is an issues they flatten out over time. anc fantastic (virtual tie) comfort fantastic (good) wicked cushions quality pretty amazing. I think it beats the original anc unfortunately not quite as good as these or the original. I can but not as bad as the brianwaves. comfort, feel really good, but more airy. My testing anc: The easiest test when you compare these i found (since ab testing takes time) is to push he headphones down to increase the clamp. when they are tight that is effectively as good as it will get while wearing different pads you can measure the delta in their specific pad default state. they all sound about the same with different pads then when depressed basically. And depressing always makes improvements. The originals and these have about the same amount of difference or maybe to be safe a very very small amount worse with these, and i can't promise it isn't me imaging it. Brainwavz you you can tell immediately tell are worse. I was careful with the fit; i spent hours on this. I"d go with these out of the ones i've tried. Brainwavz uses a nicer material /fake leather, they look and fit perfect, but impacted anc. To me none of these really impacted sound quality. they are all close enough to the originals in dimensions. I think wicked cushion might look and feel the best to the touch, and definable has high quality material. These are made with thinker (not high) in width foam though and likely that is why there is additional material so your getting a better seal, especially after a week or two when they soften up. My asks for these since they are my recommendation: I wish the skin was a little higher quality though i have to admit it feels really good. will update if there are problems, but it's thing and i am almost expecting it will wear over time maybe if they made them a little wider (out and a bigger flat surface area that contacts skin they could be even a little better too. I believe you'll be happy with these. Best option i can find so far. I'm sticking with these over the original and i spent an absurd amount of time on this. I prioritize anc, if you don't you might want to try wicked cushion. They aren't bad and they are built so well, but i could detect a reduction in anc. I also like the feel on the additional foam. If you prefer an airy no touch feel that's wicked cushion. If you need foam inserts brainwavez has those. but the pads just didn't block out sound By the way i wear glasses, so i test with that. this makes pads even more important which is why i am so sensitive about seal.

These earpad replacements are well-made and easy to install. The material is soft and pliable. So far, so good!

Note: It looks like Amazon did not upload the pictures in the right order...the pictures with the blue blanket are from 0-4 months (except the one where you see a small tear, that one is 9 months in) while the ones with the blue and white blanket are 10-11 months in. These are fantastic replacements for the originals. To me, they feel more comfortable than the originals. I keep my headphones on majority of the day and these don't stick to my face as much as the originals did. I notice some reviews said the noise cancellation is worse with these, to me it seems better...at best, I don't notice a difference at all. Perhaps it's cause I wear glasses which always allowed more noise in already, I'm not sure. I guess it comes down to preference. I would say give them a try yourself, you can always return them. **Update after a year** 1st pic: Brand New, 0 months (August 2021) 2nd pic: 4 months (December 2021) 3rd pic: 9 months (May 2022) 4th pic: 10 months (June 2022) 5th pic: 11 months (July 2022) August 2022: I stand by what I mentioned in my original review above. Even after a year, they are still comfortable to wear. Noise cancellation is still good. Now as far as wear and tear goes, they will tear up over time as you can see from the provided pictures. I'm not complaining about that however, that's to be expected. The original pads also wore down greatly after only a year of owning them. I should also mention that I wear these headphones 24/7. So this might even be accelerated wear and tear due to my usage. Just something to keep in mind. Also, I purchased this same product again and I noticed that the newer ones are not as thick as the ones in the pictures I provided. They are actually closer to the original pads than these were. So perhaps I got a version from a different seller or whatever last year. I will update this review again one year from now on the newer ones.

I've been using these for a couple of months with no issues. Easy install and great fit and comfort.

Great replacement. The fit and seal is much better than the original ear pads. The English written in the instructions was obviously translated from a different language by someone who didn't have a good mastery of the English language. Ha. But it's good enough to figure out. The noise cancellation sounds better than before. But that's probably because my previous ear pads were worn out and no longer provided a good seal. I'm so glad that these are available. I didn't want to have to buy a new set of Sony headphones since the headphones themselves works great. It's just the ear pads that wear out after several years.

Fit Sony WH1000XM3 pretty well

Questi non suonano ..buttano il pacco ...se passa qualcuno se lo prende

I recently replaced the earpads on my Sony headphones with the SOULWIT Professional Earpads Cushions, and I’m quite pleased with the upgrade. Installation was straightforward, and they fit snugly, enhancing both comfort and sound isolation. The materials feel premium, and the memory foam adapts well to my ears, making extended listening sessions more enjoyable. However, I did notice that the noise-canceling performance seemed slightly reduced compared to the original pads. Overall, these earpads offer great value, improving comfort and sound quality without a significant investment.

Produto de boa qualidade, bom custo- benefício, atende todas as necessidades propostas. Única observação é sobre a embalagem frágil e aberta e sem nenhuma identificação, mas isso não altera em nada a experiência.

Simple to install. Great feel around the rest. Looking forward to many years of use.
