Fabric Replacement Ear Pads for Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones, Sony Xm4 Headphones Earpads with Smooth Fabric & Memory Foam, Breathable Cushion Replacements

I am very happy with my Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones but I can see that the plasticky earpad covering is starting to show its age (see the wrinkled surface in the attached photos) and will need replacing soon. I received these replacement earpads for review and I have to say I am very impressed and looking forward to using them as a permanent replacement. These earpads from Wzsipod are very similar in dimension to the Sony originals which is what I prefer (you can get deeper versions) but the material covering the foam cushions has been replaced by a soft fabric which I have to say feels like an upgrade on the slightly sticky originals, especially in hot environments if your ears are prone to sweating.A plastic "spudger" tool is provided to make it very easy to do the replacement in a minute or two (search for online videos if you are unsure, it really is not difficult, there are no screws or adhesive holding the earpads in place, you just need to pry up a few plastic studs around the edges), and you can in fact try out the new earpads for a while and easily swap back too.I can't talk much about longevity until I have worn these new earpads for a few months, but initial impressions are very good and quality seems high, so I have good confidence these will last well.

Das Set beinhaltet nicht nur wie üblich nur die Ohrpolster, sondern auch die Innenpolster samt Werkzeug. Eine Anleitung liegt nicht bei, aber dafür gibt es im Internet zahlreiche Anleitungen (ich bevorzuge ein Buttermesser zum Entfernen der Ohrpolster).Der Wechsel gestaltet sich sehr leicht und nach 5 Minuten ist man fertig. Der Kopfhörer fühlt sich danach wie neu an. Top!

Die Wzsipod Ersatz-Ohrpolster aus Stoff für meinen Sony WH-1000XM4 sind passgenau und sitzen perfekt auf den Kopfhörern. Obwohl keine Anleitung zur Anbringung enthalten ist, findet man auf YouTube leicht verständliche Tutorials, die den Prozess gut erklären.Die Lieferung enthält auch ein Plastiktool, das allerdings ziemlich leicht nachgibt und daher nur bedingt zu gebrauchen ist. Ich habe es dennoch mit dem Tool hinbekommen. Das Anbringen der Ohrpolster benötigt etwas Übung und Geduld, da die Clips nicht sofort lösen lassen. Mit etwas Geschick ist dies aber machbar.Besonders angenehm ist der Stoff der Ohrpolster, der sehr weich und komfortabel auf den Ohren liegt. Auch die mitgelieferten Innenpolster sind eine nette Zugabe. Das Noise Cancelling wird durch die neuen Polster, wenn überhaupt, nur minimal beeinträchtigt.Nach der Anbringung empfiehlt es sich, eine Kalibrierung durchzuführen, indem man den Custom Button für ein paar Sekunden hält. Insgesamt bin ich mit den Ersatz-Ohrpolster sehr zufrieden und kann sie weiterempfehlen.

These are a great replacement pair of ear cushions for the WH-XM4's, and while not quite having the same quality as the originals, I have found they are a fix for the WH-XM4's biggest problem, moisture.I am currently wearing the XM4's while sleeping, and with the original earpads every morning, I would remove the earcups to find the inside of the headphones filled with condensation droplets. In a pair of headphones with absolutely no water resistance and known issues with moisture getting into the mic and causing problems, this was a concern. These, however, breathe a lot better than the leather ear cushions, allowing me to use them for the 7-8 hours of sleeping while seeing what varies from absolutely none to very little condensation. They are also lovely, plush, and a little thicker than the original cushions, making them somewhat more comfortable for my sleeping use case. The fact they are thicker also makes the frankly very shallow earcups of the XM4 a little deeper as well, leading to more comfort and, to my ear, at least a very slightly better sound.They aren't without their negatives, though, but they are fairly minor. The ANC, or at least the passive noise-canceling, isn't quite as good as the original leather, which is to be expected from a more breathable material, but it's not enough, at least for me, to make any real-world difference in actual use. The other is that I found they slip and move around more on my head compared to the originals. The final is that the right cushion seems ever so slightly too large for the actual earcup, requiring a little extra squeezing than the other to get it clipped in properly, but once in, you would never know this.Overall, great replacements or even just another option for your XM4's, and in honesty, I feel like I'll swap between these and the originals depending on my current use case.

When we first got our dog, Pippa, rather foolishly I left my brand new Sony XM4's on the bed while I nipped to the loo.When I returned I found that the left earpad had been torn to shreds, the right earpad was loose on the bed and the left earcup foam inner was missing (never to be found). Needless to say, I was slightly 'miffed' (Pippa was ok, tho')To make my expensive headphones useable I was able to install another brands replacement earpads but they didn't come like these do (with replacement foam inners) and more importantly when I fitted them some of the plastic clips just broke.Fortunately, I have had no such problems with this product. I am happy to report that I was able to fit them with zero breakage of the plastic clips.To fit I lined up the round pegs in the round holes and then pressed the tip of my thumb right into the joint and worked my way 360 degrees around the earpad.I didn't use much force but if I didn't hear it 'clip' in place the whole ear pad falls straight back off again as soon as I removed my thumb. The point being, make sure you push the clips fully home!Sonically, the XM4's sound as fantastic as they always have done. These replacement ear pads don't (to my ears) affect the sound quality and neither do they interfere with the pause function when taken off. Noise isolation seems just fine.The only slight downside is with the products instruction manual that contains no fitting instructions! Bizarre.Other than the 'instruction manual' I couldn't be happier with this product. Thoroughly recommended.
