Shure HPAEC1540 Alcantara Ear Pads For SRH1540

Work perfect for my ESS



400 head phone's

These pads are beautiful to the touch. Every day, I pass by my headphones, and I just touch them, because I can't resist.

But let's talk about a few things. As most people, I bought these for my T50RP Mk3's. These make the high stand out, and a bit too much for me. The stock pads for the T50's made the highs a bit dull, but these make the highs too high, to the point where they drown the mids a bit. I'm not sure if there's a decrease in mids, or if the highs are just so damn high, but I definitely think the highs are too high.

Second, the pads are not super large. If you have larger ears, like I do, your ears are going to rest on the innards of the pad, and they are going to get quite hot. I don't think that I could wear these for more than 4-5 hours straight, which is still admirable, but it's not your "put them on and forget about them" type of experience.

Also, for Zeos fans, the pads don't squish as much as he said they would. At least not for me.

With all that said, these are some really cool pads. They are leagues ahead in comfort than the stock Mk3 pads, and I highly recommend them if you are not treble sensitive and like highs that get shrilly sometimes (not really sibilant, though, important to mention), and mids that are quite recessed. I really miss the mids sometimes.

Am I blown away? No. Is this the best experience for the Mk3's? I wouldn't say so. I know it's not for me. I hope this review helps someone. All in all, good pads, nothing wrong with them, but not heaven on Earth.

Lunchbox Audio rating: 5/5. The guys are top notch! I highly recommend shopping with them.

I went hunting these down for my T50RP MK3, like most people are, and was glad Lunchbox audio had one pair left.

These are the most comfortable headphone pads I have ever used. The memory foam feels awesome. The pads fit the MK3 beautifully. I can wear these all day and not get fatigued.

Love them! Love them! Love them!

I got these pads after checking out "Z Reviews". These sold out everywhere and reached out to several companies and was told it would be back-ordered 4-5 weeks. Lunchbox was awesome at answering all of my questions and concerns.

These guys came through and received the set in 3 weeks!

I would definitely order from these guys again. Great service and support!
