Geekria Replacement Ear Pads

The linen fabric is significantly more breathable than synthetic leather, which helps dissipate heat and moisture during long listening sessions. While leather provides a tighter seal for noise isolation, these linen pads offer a softer, more plush feel that prevents the 'sweaty' sensation often associated with closed-back headphones.

Changing ear pads can subtly alter the sound signature, particularly the bass response and soundstage. Because linen is more porous than leather, you might notice a slight reduction in bass impact or isolation, but many users find the trade-off for increased comfort and breathability to be well worth it.

Installation is straightforward and generally requires no special tools. Most compatible models, such as the Audio-Technica ATH-M series, use a simple stretch-and-fit method where you tuck the edge of the pad into the groove around the ear cup.

While these are specifically designed to fit the Audio-Technica ATH-M series, their dimensions may fit other over-ear headphones with similar cup sizes. We recommend measuring your current ear pads and comparing them to the product specifications before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

Because linen is a fabric, it can absorb oils and sweat over time. We recommend gently wiping the surface with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allowing them to air dry completely before reattaching them to your headphones.
