About this pair
Black Velvet Audio-Technica ATH-M50 M50X replacement ear pads. These earpads ship as a matching pair.
These are aftermarketreplacement ear pads, not OEM-branded factory stock and not a cable or case. The velvet finish is chosen for a quieter, softer touch than leaving cracked leatherette on closed-back black velour oval cups. Low-reflection velvet pads and a matted-velvet refresh help monitoring sessions feel less reflective on the cheek, while velvet heat dump language from owners usually points to the same soft nap you want after years of stock foam collapse.

Install and care
How to replace ear pads on Audio-Technica ATH-M50 M50X stays simple: copy the stretch or clip method used by your current pads. Seat the velour face outward and the foam toward the driver so the baffle stays covered, not pinched. Do not assume M50xBT Bluetooth cups fit—those are not listed on this SKU. Treat new velour gently; fibers can shed at first, and dark clothing may collect lint until the nap settles.
What is in the box
