"I just changed the ear pads and the strap, the stock leather was peeling everywhere. These seem to be much more durable, time will tell."
"I own headphones that are significantly more expensive than my LCD-X’s, but always find myself picking them when I really want to enjoy my music. I’ve done this so much that I’ve worn out the original pads. I think that says it all."
"New pads reminded how much I love these headphones"
"These were a bit thinner than my original pads that came with my LCD2. 2 non-fazor bamboo. They are very comfortable but I really hope they last at least as long as my original pair."
"nothing like the Og pads. fits perfect and comfortable. good price. fast delivery too"
"Bought these so that I could have genuine leather which I prefer. Couldn’t be more pleased with this high quality product. Excellent."
"You get what you pay for. Easy to apply, good quality."
"Hello, Wanted to take a moment and share my experience with ordering and receiving Audeze leather LCD earpads. Everything went smoothly and flawlessly ordering the earpads from the Audeze website. My items arrived even sooner than quoted. Quality is better than all others that are nearly the same price so why not just get Audeze’s pads directly? You’ll be glad you did. Thank you Audeze for many years of awesome innovation and superb products on top of stellar customer service. :)"
"Didn’t realize how much my old pads had compressed over time. New pads restored the comfort and actually they sound better. Didn’t realize they had lost a step until I replaced the pads. Only thought to do it in the first place because the original pads were so old the glue started to break down (ok, it’s been a few years, I know). My ears don’t touch anymore which is a lot more comfortable."
"Nice improvement in my older LCD X ,"
