The original pads were about 5 years old and starting to crack and become very stiff and uncomfortable. I also have a pair of relatively new ATH-M50x headphones at the office. I bought these pads to replace the ATH-M50s pads. The fit was perfect. I did a comparison between the old pads, new stock ATH-M50x pads and the Wicket Cushions pads.
