These ear pads bring the excellent reputation of Dekoni Audio pads to one of the world’s most popular wireless headphones. Using cutting-edge technology and measurement devices, Dekoni has been able to make an ear pad that not only improves the headphone’s passive isolation by about 6 dB, but also accentuates the sound Read More
For anyone interested I’ve purchased from Wicked Ears for a third of the price. Fit great, very comfortable and have really improved clarity of the headphones.
The last line of the description paragraph needs to be updated for these. Currently says "Please note these pads are not compatible with Sony's WH-1000XM3." I think that should be WH-1000XM4, since this drop is specifically for XM2s and XM3s.
I just got the new XM4's (upgraded from the XM1's) and from what I have read it seems that the XM4's are not much of a physical change from the XM3's. Apparently the XM4's are more of a technical upgrade (multi-point connectivity, better ANC chip). So with that said, maybe Dekoni could say something about compatibility with the latest and the greatest XM4's?
May I ask what are the differences between suede and leather pads? I think someone mentions suede is much more breathable but you might lose some of the ANC. Are there any other differences?
Will choice suede be offered for this? I was hesitating as some reviews said this weakened the ANC but many seem really happy with the purchase so I figured those effected maybe didn’t install right?
I ended up buying the pads from a store versus massdrop and have had them about a month. Definitely worth the swap and easy too. ANC suffered until I used the calibrate button then if worked 95% as normal which is well worth the trade-off.
