Audio-Technica ATH-M40X Ear Pad

I bought them to replace the old ones that were really worn out. I wanted to replace just for the looks but I was in for a surprise.
When I put on the new ones it was like my headphones resurrected. They were dead and I didn't know it. The sound had become blunt and because the drop in quality was gradual I hadn't noticed. I only thought I grew bored of them but that was not the case. I have back the headphones I loved.

Only problem (the one missing star) is not because of the pads but because of the headphones. Until I finished the replacement I was really anxious I might break the headphones at the (well known) weak joint. But all went well. Just needs patience and slow, gentle moves.
