What You Get

These replacement ear pads fit Sony MDR-RF985R, RF970, RF970RK, RF960RK, RF960R, RF925RK and MDR-DS6500 headphones. The kit includes a step-by-step guide and requires no tools to install. Buyers with other headphone models will need a different pad set.

Comfort And Isolation

Thick memory foam covered in soft leather adds cushioning that resists flattening over time. The material combination improves passive noise isolation compared with worn original pads. No active electronics or power are involved, so thermals, fan noise and power draw are not applicable.

Fit And Build

Reinforced interior stitching with glue prevents seam splitting during daily use. Each cushion is tested for a precise match to the listed Sony models, avoiding the loose fit of generic alternatives. The pads simply snap onto the existing ear-cup mounts, leaving all headphone controls and cables accessible.

Questions about this item

How do I install these ear pads on my Sony MDR-RF970 headphones without damaging the mounting rings?

Remove the old pads by pulling them off the plastic rings, align the new pads' inner lip with the ring groove, then press firmly around the entire circumference until they click into place; the included guide shows the correct orientation.

When will the memory foam or leather on these replacement pads need replacing again?

The reinforced stitching and glued seams resist splitting, and the high-density foam retains shape longer than stock pads; typical lifespan is several years under daily use before compression or surface wear requires another swap.

At what point during long listening sessions does heat buildup become noticeable with these thicker pads?

The added thickness and leather surface reduce airflow compared to thinner stock pads, so ears may feel warm after one to two hours of continuous wear, especially in warmer rooms.
