Tranesca Replacement Earpads for $13

If you like to try accessories from lesser known manufacturers, boldly going where the mainstream shopper has not gone before, a fairly new brand called Transesca is selling familiar-looking headphone earpads in black or white for $13 per pair and fulfilled by Amazon, so you get Prime shipping. They are not Add-On items.

They average 4.5 out of 5 based on 76 customer reviews, have 36 answered questions, and have a long list of compatible headphones in the product description over there. Between these three places, you can check whether your headphone will or won’t work. Among the headphones listed as compatible are famous models like the Sony V6/7506 duo, the Philips SHP-9500S, the Monoprice 8323, the Audio Technica M50/40/30/20 (with and without X) models, Sennheiser HD280/380, 518/558/598, HD 600, etc.

Mayhaps trying to increase their audiophile, they say their earpads do not fit Beats or Bose 🙂 Per the gallery picture over there, they come with a 24-month warranty…

I haven’t seen or touched these, but I’ll probably get a pair the next time I place an Amazon order that needs to get to $25+ because of those pesky Add-On items. I have at least three compatible headphones, so I should be able to test them ~ if I ever make progress on my review backlog 🙂

Brainwavz Velor and Memory Foam Earpads for $16.50 each [updated]

Earpad hoarding time? A number of Brainwaz earpads are on sale at Amazon, sold by Brainwavz’s own store but Prime eligible (fulfilled by Amazon). They are not part of the lightning deals. Among the participating products:

[DEAD] HIFIMAN Velour Earpads for $10 w/free S&H

As of late 11/29/16 these are sold out and cannot be ordered… At the risk of turning into an “earpads blog”, here’s another sale. The HIFIMAN Velour Earpads (actual Hifiman brand) are on sale for $10 with free shipping by Hifiman through Amazon. They ship directly from hifiman’s store, so they are not Prime eligible. Limit three per customer.

[DEAD] Shure HPAEC940 Replacement Velour Ear Pads for $15

This lightning deal expired… As per the schedule, the Shure HPAEC940 Replacement Velour Ear Pads are on sale for $15 for one pair. Offer ends by 4:49pm ET today or earlier if sold out. The price before the sale last night was $17. Free shipping for Prime members or with a $49+ order (or $25+ in books).

Shure HPAEC840 replacement earpads for $12 (pads for the SRH 840, fit other headphones as well)

We now have a Shure trilogy of posts, starting with the utilitarian, the Shure HPAEC840 replacement earpads are on sale, in new condition, for $12 per set, at Amazon by Amazon actual. These are made for the SRH840.

Check reviews and answered-questions to see what other headphones they fit. Pay attention however to look at reviews and answers pertaining to this particular model. A soccer team of earpads (eleven different models) are on the same product page and share the same reviews pool and answers, so make sure you are reading the entries for the correct model. This is a pre-filtered list of reviews for the HPAEC840 (about half of the 400+ reviews posted there).

In addition to these being a recommended upgrade for the SRH440, customers there are also liking them with the M50/M50x, Koss DJ100, ATH PRO 700 II, Fostex T?0RP, Sony V6/MDR-7506, etc. About 1/3rd of the reviews are about these pads on the Audio Technica M50/M50x/M* headphones 🙂 Keep in mind, these are user recommendations/reviews, there is always a YMMV component to this as reviews don’t always explain their personal preferences and pet peeves and sometimes they forget to mention any DIY work that may be needed.

This is not a lightning deal, so the sale continues until it stops. The limit is the usual up to 30 per order per customer.

PS: this next item is not on sale, but I’ve had it in bags and backpacks or storing headphones one way or another for 3.5 years and it still looks very solid (I need to post a review for it – eg do a headphone modeling/fitting session), it is the Shure HPACP1 Headphone Carrying Pouch (with drawstring) for $5. It won’t protect from impact, it’s just a pouch, but it will keep dust and scratches away. The logo is sinking in the material, so it’s not obnoxious.
