CentralSound Premium Replacement Ear Pad Cushions for Beyerdynamic DT 770 DT990 PRO DT 770 PRO DT 880 PRO DT 990 - 100mm

I bought new ear pad cushions, along with a replacement headstrap cushion, for my pair of discontinued Beyerdynamic gamer headphones, and let me just say what a joy it is to have this headset back again. The most difficult of the whole process was tracking down specifics about my "historical" headset from Beyerdynamic, as most info has been wiped from the site. El-oh-el? Once I had some manufacturing specs, it was easy to order the replacement components from Central Sound, and everything arrived shortly thereafter in some pretty cool and unique packaging. They offer tutorial videos on how to change the pads and cushions, so you're not going in to it blind, and the whole process was much easier than I anticipated. I'm relieved and genuinely heartened to discover someone addressing the issue of preventable e-waste with solutions like Central Sound offers. I don't WANT to throw out something that still works, and gratefully, now I don't have to! I can enjoy game time with long-distance family again, and I no longer have to deal with black flecks of foam or disintegrating fake-leather in my hair and all over my ears. The cooling gel seems really effective, and I'm back to "accidentally" logging four or five hours again with no headset discomfort at all. Granted, I don't have any personal science to back it up, just some pretty strong vibes, so take that for what it's worth. In MY book, it's quite significant, but your results might vary. Will I be ordering from Central Sound regularly? I expect I won't be, because these replacement components are well-made and seem pretty durable. But even these, too, will eventually wear down, and when that day comes, there is only one place that I will turn to: Central Sound So, there you have it! Five stars for meeting a critically important, "niche" need for those of us concerned with combating unnecessary e-waste, and for doing so with high-quality replacement components! Also, Central Sound is located in Illinois, which is, arguably, the best state ever. Go Sox, and go Central Sound!

Worked great on my DT 770 Pros - Happy to be able to replace these and the headband vs throwing them away

Good purchase

Works great! 2 caveats to the original BD ear pads: 1. These pads are more noise cancelling (hard to hear people calling you around the house) 2. The cooling pads work but heat up within 10 minutes. Don't expect them to say cold. Overall good replacement pads, provided the above doesn't bother you.
