I’m having a hard time trying to figure out where to purchase replacement ear pads/ inner foam that won’t lower the noise protector of these headphones…
I have a medical condition that causes pretty hyperacusis( like noise is physically painful due to the loss of a bone in my ear) and in my current living situation, I basically live in my noise canceling headphones.
Even though wipe the non-porous parts down frequently, the ear pads start smelling pretty grungy quickly.
I already replaced my first pair after 6 months( because I didn’t know the ear pads were replaceable) and also they were gross.
From reviews, it sounds like the “wicked” replacements do reduce noise canceling:/ although they are otherwise well liked.
Others have said another set from “Studio Supplies” block this models internal sensor.
I’d prefer to purchase a replacement that includes the internal removable foam piece as well but can also buy that separately.
It seems very annoying that Sony doesn’t just sell these replacement parts!
Anyway, I see this has come up before so hope it’s not redundant to ask. But if anyone knows how to troubleshoot this, has any specific recommendations or let me know if I just need to buy a new pair again, I would really value any constructive feedback. Thanks!
