Fostex EX-EP-61

The EX-EP-61 pads are specifically engineered for the Fostex TH-610. While they may physically fit other models, they are designed to match the specific acoustic profile and mounting mechanism of the TH-610, so we recommend sticking to that model for the best results.

Yes, absolutely. Over-ear headphones rely on a precise seal against your head to deliver bass response and soundstage accuracy. If your old pads are flattened or cracked, that seal is compromised, which often results in a thinner, less immersive sound.

The installation process is straightforward and does not require any special tools. You simply need to carefully stretch the mounting flange of the new pad over the ear cup rim, ensuring it seats evenly all the way around.

It depends on your usage, but generally, you should look to replace them every 12 to 18 months. If you notice the material starting to flake, the foam losing its spring, or the headphones feeling less secure on your head, it is time for a fresh pair.

These are sold as a complete set, meaning you will receive two ear cushions—one for the left side and one for the right side—to ensure your headphones maintain a balanced fit and acoustic seal.
