Swapped out the stock ATH-M50x earpads for these Brainwavz ProStock sheepskin replacements, and I gotta say—solid upgrade all around. Comfort is night and day compared to the originals. The memory foam is plush but supportive, and the sheepskin keeps things breathable, so no more sweaty ears during long sessions.
Sound-wise, they stay true to the M50x’s signature tuning, with maybe a slight improvement in clarity. Bass feels a bit tighter, highs have a touch more air, and isolation is still solid. If anything, the deeper pads make the soundstage feel a little more open, which is a nice bonus.
Install takes a little patience since the fit is snug, but once they’re on, they’re locked in. Build quality feels premium, and I expect these to last a long time. Price might be a little steep for some, but for what you’re getting—comfort, durability, and minimal sound coloration—it’s 100% worth it. If you’re rocking the M50x, these are a no-brainer.
