WC PadZ WH-1000XM3 - Extra Thick Replacement Earpads for Sony WH-1000XM3

Exactly what I needed. Headphones feel brand new again. It's firmer than the previous one, and not as soft, but I'm hoping I'll get used to that soon. As a result though, I'm hoping this will last longer. The passive noise cancellation is so much better after the replacement, and audio quality in general has markedly improved. It's overpriced for what it is, but it is highly specialised, and the difference it makes to the headphones overall makes it worth it.

It's a bit expensive because its an imported product from a fairly young and motivated brand. Packaging screams their commitment for excellence. The padding is little bit thicker than the stock, thereby preventing the drivers from pressing against your ears. It provides better passive noise isolation and better comfort over the stock pads. The faux leather quality seems top notch. Its like falling in love over again with my Sony headphones! Will update if my opinion changes.

Good - Easy to remove older ear cups (as per the instruction) - Easy to put the new ear cups (gently press until click sound is heard) - Good Noise Cancellation Not so good - Slightly tighter in the beginning but got used to it now - Pricey

Good replacement for original

Loved the clear instructions(Use a screwdriver), and fit of the product is excellent. Worth every penny for the needful and for people to extend the life of the excellent WH-1000XM3

I was little bit skeptical before buying this product. After receiving the product I'm very happy seeing the quality. Unboxing experience was also great. You'll get a company printed black Zip Pouch. Inside the pouch you'll find earpads, manual for replacing the earpads, 20% off coupon for next purchase and company information. Just follow the manual and earpads will fit perfectly to your headphone.

I bought these at the end of December, 2021. Now, within 11 months, the outer layer has already flaked away. I keep finding little scraps in my ears and all over my stuff. Really not worth it. I was fairly happy with them when I first purchased them - they were uncomfortable at first but became softer with time, and the noise cancellation was acceptable, if not exactly great. Unfortunately, the short lifespan means I won't be ordering these again.

Not worth spending ₹1,900 for these. It will look cool when its brand new but within a year it will look like this (photo). As you can see they used some cheap material inside. However, the thickness stays intact after using nearly a year. The key issue is with the outer layer's cloathing material (not leather) as you can see in the picture (right side). I am going to use my old ones (orginal) since only its leather is not intact (noise cancellation will not work properly). May be i will buy this product again, not from this dealer. Lets see how that will pans out. ✌🏻

Perfect. I feel like the noise cancelling is working 300% better.

Update 8/23/26: they finally wore out. A little over three years of use before they started looking worn out/damaged and developed rips. I added a picture to show the difference between the brand new ones I just bought and the ones I had on my XM3, used multiple times a week every week since purchase 3 years ago. Still a great product and I'm happy with the longevity of it. I imagine if I used these more frequently especially when sweating, that they would degrade faster. Update 06/22/25: still works great. No peeling or any visible wear and tear. Update 05/23/2024: still going strong. I added these to my new black xm3 and it looks even better than the silver Original review: 08/05/2023: And for those of you who were like me and wanted to see this color/design on the "gold" headset (it's more silver than gold but ok Sony, go off) here you go. I actually think it fits really well and I'm really happy with it. They took a bit to finagle into the hooks but I got it after a couple mins for each one. The sound cancelation is like 95% ad good as the originals, and the foam is so cushiony. This has breathed life back into my headset and I'm here for it. I'll def be buying again in the future.

Excelente calidad de material y dichas almohadillas se acoplan perfectamente a mis audífonos XM3

Pasują jak oryginalne. Montaż bez problemu, polecam film na YT. Dużo twardsze niż fabryczne, wiedziałem o tym, ale i tak byłem zaskoczony jak bardzo. Wciąż wygodne. ANC zdecydowanie powróciło po wymianie wyeksploatowanych, może nawet mocniejsze.

I am genuinely impressed with how much this has improved my listening experience again! I thought I had just gotten used to noise cancelling or something, as it wasn't as effective anymore compared to how it used to have been. But this was just because of the ear pads losing their shape, softening up and not closing off sounds as well as before. I cannot understate how big of a difference this is. Extremely easy to install and the quality feels just as nice as the ones that came with the headphones. If only they had something for the headband as well!
