If you have an Audio Technica AD-1000x and you too have suffered the crushing pain the stock earpads inflict because they're too shallow so the interior speakers physically destroy your ears, then this is the replacement pads you're looking for. The removal of the stock pads was straight forward, I thought I was going to rip the part of the stock pad holding it on, but I was wrong and just a firm circular pull was all that was needed to pop it off.For installation of the BRAINWAVZ pad, it was also tricky until I got the hang of it. I thought I needed to start at the top but it was actually easier to slip in about 1/4th of the holding part into the headphone cup groove, then slide my finger to ease the rest of the pad into the groove until I got to the top, which then I pulled the remainder of the holding part into place then twisted the pad back and forth along the groove until it slipped in.Anyways, these pads make these headphones what they ought to have been.
