For the price I absolutely cannot complain about the feel. Great feeling Velour that hasn't tarnished in the few months I've used them and very close to the OEM feel I remember (albeit from 5-6 years ago). My original ones are so squished in comparison that the sound has completely changed, regaining an ungodly amount of lost detail and soundstage without colouring the original sound as previous pads I've tried have in the past.
I HAD one gripe, that the cups wouldn'y stay attached whatsoever unless you are wearing it and that it seems common, but Brainwavz reached out and referred me to the proper installation steps (you need to push on the inner ring, possibly because the fit is tighter than OEM), and I can confirm they stay put just fine now, so I upped my review to 5 stars for the product & support!
