Great original ear pad (NOT padS) for ATH-M50X
It is an original ear pad from Audio-Technica for ATH-M50X and that probably says everything. It is designed for these headphones and sound-wise it is probably the best.
However, I am disappointed in thomann. At first I thought it's my fault and I'm the only one who expected it to be a pair. But after reading the reviews I understood there were countless buyers like me. Why e.g., B&H Foto could come up with visually clear image that it is only ONE ear pad, not two like usual? – thomman, even after dozens of users mistakenly have bought only one ear pad did nothing as of yet.
All in all, it's a great product, but if I could rate thomman's description separately, I'd probably give it only ONE (1/5) star. While thomann's customer service probably deserves 5 stars for offering a free shipping for additional item.

Brought my headset to its prime state again.
REMINDER: Order two of these for a set. If you only order one, you'll only get one. (Unless you only need one)

After casual daily use of the ATH-M50x for almost 3 years, the old earpads needed to change. The leather was almost 100% gone, the sound was leaking, and every song becomes a bit shrill on the ears. Ordered it here. Shipping was okay, but I expected it to be a lot quicker. After receiving the earpads, I quickly put it on (quite easy, just don't be afraid to stretch it a little bit) and tested it. Replacing the earpads was the right thing to do and the improvements were dramatic. To put it simply, it feels like I just bought my headset yesterday. Snug and comfy fit, crisp audio, and generally an enhanced experience. I definitely would recommend this item.

Original replacement -> same audio quality
You can find lot of compatible replacements online but this is the only one assuring you the same audio quality. Easy to replace: it took me 5 minutes per ear pad.
PAY ATTENTION: if you want to replace both ear pads, you need to buy two of them.

Brings the headphones back to life
I bought this as a replacement for the original ear pad on my ATH-M50X, and it does exactly what I needed. The fit is correct, the material feels like the original, and once installed the headphone feels much fresher again.
It is not a dramatic upgrade or a different tuning, but that is actually the point. It restores the comfort, seal and overall feel of the headphone without changing what I already liked about it. A simple but very useful replacement part.

Little pricey and difficult assembly, but does the trick
I found these ear pads a little pricey and difficult to mount (too tight!) on my ATH-M50X, but they're durable.

Replacing ear pads
Replacing the earpads with the correct pads is critical. I found it hard to find them. Thomann made it very easy and there support is great.
I'm really happy to have compy ear pads back. The headphones ATH-M%)x are excellent and it's like having a new pair of headphones.
Thanks, Thomann. :-)

Please note that this is one pad only
If you are looking for the pair of 2, you need to add 2 orders into the basket.

Pad it self is great, but that would be nice if it would written that package contains only ONE PAD with big letters couple of times, cause i expected to receive two pads and now I'm reading with small letters that i ordered only ONE PAD...
Confused...disappointed... You make me wait great joy of music a bit longer... My mood is destroyed for today...
