Aurivor Leather Ear-Pads Cushions for Bose QuietComfort QC-35 QC-35-ii QC-25 QC-15 QC-2 Headphones, Lambskin Replacement Ear Covers for Ae2/Ae2i/Ae2W SoundLink SoundTrue Around-Ear Headsets(Black)

I bought these for my QC15. Updated them with wireless bluetooth and thought I'd give the headphone a little refresh. I've waited till I've had a little time with these to provide my review since with many things you don't get a true feel of their performance until using them for a while. Going a bit beyond first impressions. So here goes.Installation - It fit and didn't take any messing with to get in place and stay in place. Others I've tried in the past were either not a good fit, loose, or base too thick for the tiny Bose plastic clips, or just slightly different shape. These guys did their homework so installation and fit was pretty effortless and fit was better than most. Still doesn't snap in as easily as factory pads, because the material they use is a little softer, but easy to make sure it is under the tabs. +Comfort - If you are not familiar with sheep skin, it is soooooooooooooooo very soft, durable, and breathes better than pleather from factory. I do expect these to last longer than the factory Bose pleather. The foam feels really soft with a tiny bit of memory to it. I can wear it for hours without discomfort. +Durability - Doesn't quite hold its shape as good as the factory pads. part of it is the ultra soft memoryish foam used. The sheep skin has help up really well and a little leather care is all that is needed to clean it. Did I mention it is soooooooooo soft? +Sound quality and sealing - Due to this the the thickness is a little thinner than the factory pads and may not seal as well for active noise cancelling. I believe they could have used just 2mm more thickness on the pads to get better fit with the level of softness used in the foam -Note: If ultimate noise cancellation is your goal I have modded them with a little more fill on the back to stiffen up the foam and get better seal and they work good. A little bit of trial and error is needed to get the right stiffness. Put the fill behind the base, not near the pad on your ears because you want to keep the soft feel to the foam on your ear.in Summary - Buy them use them love them cuddle them .....err..... I mean enjoy them over your ears. Care for them as you would your sheep, but please don't put your ears to your sheep :) They need shearing and leather needs proper tanning and prep to clean their hide and make it sooooooooooooooooo soft!

So glad I purchased these! They are easy to install replacements and look great with the gray Bose headphones. Very comfortable on the ears and great quality. A great value for the money and saved me from replacing my headphones completely.

As described and easy to replace/install. Just a bit tricky when securing the replacement Ear Pads in place—you just have to slowly push the thin layer along the outer edges of the ear pads unto the oval base of the headphones. If you patiently start from one end and work your way around the oval base of the headphones, you should feel a “click” as you go and press using your finger nails. Tedious approach but it worked for me.

I purchased three other aftermarket replacement pads and these where the best as far as comfort goes. This not only has the sheepskin which makes the surface soft, it has enough padding to prevent discomfort. They also provide great sound isolation even without active noise cancellation. The only shortfall is that the sheepskin is only on the surface that touchers your head, and the rest is fake leather. Still, this helps make it more affordable I guess. The installation is a little tricky because the foam rim is not as firm as others, but it can be installed by hand with enough effort and a few minutes. I'd recommend these over other aftermarket replacements.

These ear pads fit my old Bose QC2 headphones perfectly. My original Bose pad were worn out, and since Bose no longer sells parts for the QC2, I was afraid I might have to purchase new headphones. But these pads installed easily and fit well, co my old headphones continue to serve me well on flights and for when I just want to listen without disturbing others.

Edit: upped to five stars from four. Two long transatlantic flights were very comfortable with these - quite worth the installation I described previously.-------I bought a new pair of QC in Cypress Green, and replaced the factory earpads with these. I first just installed one side and wore the headphones for a while, and the new pad felt cooler and more comfortable over time than the original.Install takes a bit of patience and persistence. I think the backing ring may be slightly thicker than the original, and not all of the tabs went completely over the backing ring.I like the vaguely WWII aviator look of the green with the brown earpads. Wish I could get a matching headband replacement as well.

The product description states:Comfort: Lambskin is softer and more supple than artificial leather, offering a luxurious feel against the skin. It can provide a more comfortable experience, especially during extended useSuperior Resistance: Crafted from lambskin, resists debris, prevents flaking, stays strong against sweat and oils for lasting qualityBreathability: Lambskin is more breathable than synthetic ones, allowing better airflow around the ears. This can reduce moisture buildup and discomfort, particularly in warmer conditions.The material looks exactly the same as my old "flakey" earpads. If this is lambskin, I'll eat my hat.The form and fit are good. Anything will be better than the Flakies. However, they should be honest about the materials if they want to charge a premium—"Caveat Emptor." We'll see how they hold up over time.
